Adblockers don’t work on facebook. They deliberately obfuscate html, screen readers also don’t work the there for the same reason. If you still have an account check it in the inspector, they put each letter in a separate div and do other shenangians

I dont read a lot, but i could download from there, yes.

If you visit enough russian warez sites you will learn what Скачать means. Usually that’s the second language of the pirate world after broken english.

For books my first stop is Anna’s archive

I guess it’s some onion style website. The 20k fine made me not believe the story, otherwise it was totally believable, i know multiple guys who behave like this

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.

You can see it here live. OP’s problem is not the price but that the service is shit, and the only solution you can see in this thread is piracy.

No one should go to that website ever. But it’s true, we should have a dedicated piracy memes community, or do we already have one? But until lemmy is this small it wouldn’t help if the communities were even more fine grained.

I have these bookmarked:

An american court ruled about the Hippos in Columbia, so it 's just theoretical:

“The ruling has no impact in Colombia because they only have an impact within their own territories. It will be the Colombian authorities who decide what to do with the hippos and not the American ones,” said Camilo Burbano Cifuentes, a criminal law professor at the Universidad Externado de Colombia.

There are 170 hippos in Columbia, they are all descendants of the 4 animals Escobar brought there in the 1970s. Their number will reach 1000 in 2035 if they can’t find a solution. They are trying to sterilize them, and transporting them to mexico and india, more info about current efforts on wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotamuses_in_Colombia

13 years old forum post about this, with a reply from Nir Arbel, the founder:

Yeah, I can’t go into too much detail, but we have to filter certain things.

Unfortunately I can’t listen to podcasts. If I only listen to something without visual stimulation my mind start to think about unrelated things, and I just can’t follow what they speak about, I loose track after a while.

Before podcasts there were radio talk shows, I hated them similarly, and I tuned to another station where they were playing music.

There is a very good documentary about Aaron’s life: The Internet’s Own Boy

Its license is Creative Commons, so it’s on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M85UvH0TRPc

Thank you for adding NSFW flair. Noone should see the word “r*ddit”

My friend did this once. Asked the seller to declare a smaller price on the package, than customs office asked for an invoice from my friend, and he just photoshopped the lower price to the invoice and submitted. It was from China to Europe, and not second hand, just a good guy seller from aliexpress. I guess if you do this frequently you can get into big trouble. But they don’t have the manpower to doublecheck everything

There are local trackers everywhere, try to get an invite to them. I’m Hungarian, we have several invite only trackers for dubbed movies and other local content. Even they are invite only, it’s really easy to get an invite as a lot of folks have account on them.

For that kind of content I would look for your local communities on reddit, fb or whatever social media is common in your country. Try to find out what others use, and try to get an invite there.

Fmhy has a list of non-english sources: https://fmhy.net/non-english

What is your use case, I 'm just simply interested.

My workflow for finding things, I know where I want to search it for, e.g. a torrent site or a specific forum or network, and search there. If I would search for something on a general search engine like those, even if it would give good results, I would have to weed out the fake and scam results. While if I search on an already reputable site or source I don’t have to deal with that.

As a native hungarian, I wouldn’t mind that. Árvíztűró tükörfúrógép.

I remember I watched one of the sw prequels with hardcoded Korean subs. My classmate burnt it to a dvd for me, and it was special because our early sony dvd player couldn’t play any non original disks but somehow he could work it around.

By the holocaust Germany lost all their colonies, after WW1, so again, I don’t how this is related here. Jews were living within Germany for centuries. And the point was it doesn’t matter in relation to other attrocities.

Russia was also a colonial power, and one of the last which is still one, ask a Yakut guy or someone from the northern Caucasus. So it should be also added there?

1614 is the older term in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

And you are using it again. Because the term was coined by English oppressors, than it shouldn’t true… Always the same answer to everything, my beloved dictator/political system/whatever is not really terrible, because I can point to something even worse

Let’s see, “colonials are not as terrible, because what the Nazis did, and Jews were white people” Same as your reasoning.

While your points are true, here is an interesting and recommended reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
