BakaBT is a private tracker that has lots of high quality anime/manga artbooks, soundtracks and extras like that. That’s all I use aside from Nyaa, but my needs are pretty basic in general

For real, though, I really wish I could easily run Office with Bottles or something like that. Never managed to make it work

His Painting 1946 is one of my favorites, him and Goya captured this haunted feel so well

Prime !nottheonion@lemmy.world material right here

Absolutely love her style. Bought some prints from her back in 2016 and she sent me tons of cute stickers and a thank you note, it was really nice

Y’all should check out their new single too: https://youtu.be/rpsKDDGcDpw

He was the developer working on Bromite with csagan, and he was likely not the cause of the delays, since the builds on his repo have been keeping up with Chromium all year. I’ve been using it since Bromite stopped getting updates and it works really well. Brave was my second option because of the fingerprinting protection and adblocking, but they don’t disable JavaScript JIT like Bromite and now Cromite. User script support is also really handy for me

Username checks out

Looks like a shiso leaf, which you can eat and is usually served with sushi and sashimi, whenever I order from any sort of fancier place

They index results from five sources and update the main ones (two LibGen forks) monthly. They mirrored the Z-Library database before the website was seized (end of November 2022), indexed the new .onion addresses and haven’t updated the dataset since because they’re waiting for the situation to stabilize in order to figure out a way to regularly fetch new stuff from there too, as far as I know

Remember to check the Internet Archive library, you can easily borrow lots of amazing quality books for free and even rip the files. The Standard Template Construct has lots of stuff too, especially recent scientific articles Sci-Hub hasn’t published yet

Here are the official links: https://zlibrary-global.se/z-access#useful_link_tab. I would recommend just opening the .onion link (last tab on the page) with the Tor Browser in Safe mode and logging in with an anonymous e-mail and random password. Nowadays I’d rather use Anna’s Archive, though, it has most of the Z-Library database indexed anyway

I think it happened because I dropped some of my own pretentiousness, to be honest. I was young, had lots of fun with the first movie, but always under the pretense of it being “philosophical”, and then the sequels turned the ridiculousness to 11 — but it’s not like the first one was tame, in retrospect. I rewatched all of them after the fourth movie came out and now I really enjoy and respect the second one. The Wachowskis didn’t play it safe, wore their hearts on their sleeves even harder, shot some badass and equally silly action scenes, and made a genuine story about love that I found really endearing

The Matrix Reloaded, one of the biggest turnarounds for my personal taste in movies

My use case: I like to have all my emails stored locally just in case some disaster happens with the copies in the cloud; I also get to have both personal and work email addresses, from different providers, in one organized and unified interface, and the same goes for tasks, calendars and contacts; and some features from big web clients are sometimes too nosy for my taste (suggested replies, pushing their calendar, messaging, tasks and contacts products, etc)

You beat me to it, so let me recommend what I check when Anna’s Archive and LibGen don’t have what I need (usually recent articles that are not on Sci-Hub): Standard Template Construct, here’s their GitHub repo

Just adding to this, following this same supposedly biological argument that advocates for a natural and morally correct path for the furthering of genetic lineages, Nazis persecuted homosexuality, bisexuality and trans people as a national policy, shutting down sexology research institutes, literally burning years of scientific advancements, and revoking official acknowledgements the Weimar Republic granted transgender people. It’s often forgotten, but the inherent homophobia, biphobia and transphobia of neonazis and adjacent movements is not a recent development at all: https://www.advocate.com/news/holocaust-lgbtq-victims-german-parliament

Good article about this: https://seirdy.one/posts/2022/02/02/floss-security/

Yeah, for now I’m skeptical because they’re Meta and they have to find ways to monetize this service, but on one day they’ve already overshadowed the rest of the fediverse easily. Even if they can’t profit as effectively off other instances, their instance is already ridiculously big and profitable regardless; the scraping thing really sounds like fear mongering. So if the only downside of federating with Threads is that my federated timeline would get cluttered with business accounts posting ads, I’d be alright with it, as long as I can get more content on my Home timeline from LOTS of people I want to follow who are not willing to interface with Mastodon, Pleroma, etc. Unless they force regular user accounts to publish advertisements to people outside the Threads instance, I’ll take it
