Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For...
Nothing in here is as perplexing as dumbasses behind Z-library not “hosting” their files on Usenet and Bittorrent to ensure that this can’t be blocked unless feds turn off internet globally.
Ah yes, I could just make millions of torrents by DDLing one by one through their shitty web UI because retards who have database and files all on their servers aren’t willing to do it.
What an amazing idea…
You clowns clearly don’t care about preserving books.
I see, making fun of clowns who don’t understand why centralized database for books is retarded is “trolling”.
Goodluck with your eggs in one basket idea, don’t tell me that I didn’t tell you so when Z-library fails, and it will, because it can’t even keep few domains up, lmfao.
Feels worse than what exactly? Than google search N years ago?
Every alternative I tried is objectively worse than google search, instead of writing these cope articles, why doesn’t someone make a search that’s objectively better than google search instead?
I posted this as a comment in another post but when I got done I realized it would probably just be better as its own post. I’m sure I could find the answers I need myself but frankly I trust the userbase here more than most online articles....
If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge? It goes against the principles of piracy. Do they do it just to feel superior about bring in a sekrit club?
No, and I think MicroSoft should actually do this, because I find it funny. People who still use Windows and Apple OS deserve whatever comes their way.
MicroSoft uses Linux. Every single webserver of MicroSoft is powered by Linux, because Windows Server 2022 is just so good.
MicroSoft’s main income is Linux, their own OS makes up just a tiny part. The way they do business today (“intelligent cloud segment” making most of the revenue), couldn’t be posible if Linux didn’t exist.
The only ones who still use Windows is gamers and Offices that are too stuck up to automate their boomer accountant’s job.
Because they let themselves to get locked into proprietary bubble.
Have fun with your CNC machine that doesn’t work unless you program it with version 113 build revision 7 of proprietary firmware that cannot be loaded unless you run Windows XP SP 3, because CNC machining software is totally something that needed to be windows based…
Just remember, Therac-25 didn’t need to kill people.
Any ffmpeg based media player like mpv can play pretty much any video format that you will ever have to watch.
PDF viewing can be done even in your browser if there’s no PDF viewer to your liking.
Handling word documents is going to be a big problem… But even running Linux, then setting up a virtual machine to run windows on for some tasks, is better than running windows.
You’re the one whose feelings get hurt every time I tell you that the only ones who implemented communism successfully have no feelings. They don’t even have a brain, ants and bees are more like machines, unlike humans who have hopes, dreams, and aspirations, and some humans aspire to rock the boat which is why goymmunism will never ever work in our species.
principles of decentralization and federation tend to appeal far more to leftists
Absolute load of shit, just like your false dichotomy of capitalism vs communism. Neither affects politics. In fact countries are being destroyed by the same type of people, they don’t give a fuck if they’re playing communism or capitalism today.
… As for why majority of countries are capitalist and not the system that has never been tried, that’s because people always want to outsource decisions to someone else and when the people own means of production, there can be no production, only people inclined to produce do produce.
Classless society is impossible when 80% of people are worthless lackeys and only 20% of people even dream of doing something.
This is why right to repair matters. I will NEVER ask a company to repair something I purchased if I can do it myself. Oh wait, they’re doing everything in their power to prevent me from being independent after the purchase…
Practically every single manufacturer that makes things more complex than spoons wants to keep fucking me in the ass and for me to keep paying money for thing I already bought and “own”.
At least when the spoon breaks… Except I never witnessed it happen in my life, I’m still eating with same stainless steel spoons that I grew up with.
And no, I could easily open source that microscope, because I’m not afraid that some lackey that can’t even design his own microscope will have better equipment than I do if I’m the owner of a factory that specializes in producing microscopes. Microscopes don’t spawn from thin air just because you have blueprints, you need to build them, and manufacturer of microscopes should take pride in quality of production, not some arbitrary “intellectual property” that I can steal 98% of by simply cutting the finished product in half with my table saw.

What is the motive behind private trackers?
If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge? It goes against the principles of piracy. Do they do it just to feel superior about bring in a sekrit club?
Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it? (sh.itjust.works)
