I’m eagerly waiting!

I’ll take that as a “yes”.

The protesters on Tiananmen Square were killed by the military so I guess that technically doesn’t count?

Nah. AA themselves say they don’t think it is due to Spotify. And it would be too quick, they say they were kicked based on a legal request, hardly something you expect to be carried out in, what, two weeks at most?

Book publishers are unlikely to be any less ruthless than Spotify. Remember how they wanted to fuck over Internet Archive (and partly succeeded). This is more likely to be their doing.

Telegram is very diligent with deleting piracy channels, I’d say it’s so unreliable as not to be worth the effort of setting up.

They all have thigh highs, you just don’t see it in the pictures.

Can you recommend any such patched app for Facebook?

and hope it makes you feel bad

That’s not the point of downvotes. If you’re assuming people are downvoting you just to make you feel bad, you’re taking it way to personally.

Upvotes are funny too. I like what you posted, but can’t be bothered to articulate why. So I’m gonna click a button at you and hope it makes you feel good.

I get the joke, but the sources aren’t self-published. They’re published by an instance other than the author and that’s good enough, that’s what the self‐publishing rule is about.

The COI can hardly apply to members of a fairly broad group writing about the group. By that logic, Americans shouldn’t write about the USA, only gay people could write about heterosexuality, etc.

Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia articles about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships.

I swear I’m not this insufferably unfunny most of the time.

I’m sorry, how the fuck can an app made for men to find other men to get their back blown out be AI first.

AI is pretty good at fucking people in the ass.

The users are revolting? Well, fucking finally. Ygg was in general a shockingly hostile service. I made a profile, downloaded a torrent, left it seeding, and quickly got banned with no explanation whatsoever. Many other people reported similar experiences, completely nonsensical self-destructive behaviour from the admins. So this is hopefully an opportunity for French pirates to start anew on a healthier basis.

(I left the torrent seeding even after being banned, and it would still upload to Ygg users… but I limited my upload to 1 kbps, lol. It’s pretty rare so I should upload it to a normal tracker one of these days.)

(Ok, the above article is mostly not true, the story was made up by an Onion-style satirical portal.)

Places usually don’t vanish into nonexistence after five years.

What do the grifters have to gain that way, though? Maybe it’s just mentally ill people all the way down.

Whoops, thank you

I Fucking Love Science was a Facebook page that posted pop-sci articles.

LG’s recent software update has forcibly installed Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant, on smart TVs without removal options, sparking widespread user backlash over privacy, bloatware, and loss of control. This highlights growing tensions in smart devices, where monetization often overrides user preferences.

Sure is ironic that the article summary is itself AI-generated.

I’m not interested in fighting you either, I was just asking, perhaps the interesting conversation still could’ve occurred. (Admittedly that other reply to you is really good and extensive, and I wouldn’t have much to add after that.)

What would the conversation be about exactly? Legitimacy of language institutions, or?
