If in EU: make a GDPR complaint. Unsubscribing should be instant and no more difficult than signing up

Haka isn’t even religious, what are you on about?

Before now, the longest suspension of a parliamentarian in New Zealand was three days.

wrong again! CSS is turing complete, and HTML can include inline CSS, so you can implement a Turing machine in HTML only (without external .js files)

I mean, I do have an agenda, that’s kinda the point. My agenda is to make life better (= more equal, more inclusive, etc) for everyone

The hostile force being every single Palestinian man, woman and child

Most of their revenue is from ads and selling user data, what prices are they gonna raise?

Every single monitor I’ve seen that’s built in the last 8ish years has at least one. All modern graphics cards do too. Are you sure you’ve not seen them?

Memes are much older than image macros. And this here is a textbook example.

Loss is a meme. Rickrolling is a meme. The Game (which you just lost) is a meme.

That’s not completely true. The ultra orthodox are not a homogenous block, and some of the most vocal opponents of Zionism and its genocide also come from that camp. The most bloodthirsty people are the ideological, secular Zionists.

Defining “taken something behind a paywall and thus denied them revenue” as theft is the exact same argument movie studios make when you pirate a movie. Theft implies that the original is gone. If I steal your car, you don’t have a car. If I pirate a movie, we both have that movie. As someone who supports piracy, I would be careful to conflate piracy with theft. I think that’s the entire point the post is making.

Fuck AI slop. There’s enough other arguments against it. It destroys the environment and artists’ livelihoods. We can point that out without supporting corporate copyright talking points.

What is actually being offered here? It says ‘2 gig’ in several places, I assume that means 2 Gb/s? No way that’s actually 2 GB/s, right?

I hate imprecise language in advertisements, smh

The publishers don’t care. They’re suing LibGen, scihub, etc nonetheless. Non-commercialism will not protect you. Crypto can be very traceable, it’s by definition an open ledger, and “bulletproof servers” is a term applied very broadly, often by dubious actors. Besides that, any Opsec is only as strong as the weakest link. You’re running a second domain via Namecheap, for fucks sake! Don’t take this lightly, this is not a game. A state actor could probably identify you within days. Are you ready for that?

that’s not how it works. the code and website may live on, but you are committing a crime right now (nothing wrong with that). If law enforcement comes after you, it won’t matter if you’ve ‘stepped away’ in the mean time. You can either go the route of Anna, keep very tight Opsec and make sure nothing seeps through the cracks. Or you go the way of Alexandra Elbakyan, make your piracy public, to make a point. That means you willingly accept never being able to travel anywhere that has enforced copyright laws. If you half-ass it somewhere in between, you will get caught, and you will face prison time or hefty fines (potentially millions). Are you aware of that?

that’s good and all, but as it stands now, it seems almost guaranteed your PII will leak. Are you okay to never set foot into a country that extradites to the US again?

putting aside the obvious glowie talk someone else raised, you should really, really reconsider your opsec. And I mean, really. Using discord to communicate? And spamming Reddit, from a non-dedicated account, no less? Posting PII to justify downtimes? If this gets any traction at all, you’re in deep shit. There’s a good reason Anna is as anonymous as she is. Cat is out of the bag at this point, I’d recommend shutting it down. You could always continue developing the code for it, the frontend looks pretty good. But please, reconsider if you have the dedication and knowledge it takes to run a shadow library and not be caught.

Ahh, I see you know your judo well
