Yes. I combine libgen with Anna’s Archive and Z-Library and there’s very, very little I can’t find.

Combine that with KOReader and this is pure bliss.

You’re right, I completely misinterpreted the comment. The thing is that “voice” is a very specific term within IRC, and I got confused :D

If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually “talk”, I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it’s a possibility.

I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I’ve used it very sparsely.)

And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.

IRC still rules. No ads in my irssi.

Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they’re going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?

What has been your involvement with Reddit as a user so far? I’m trying to understand what users are getting those offers.

Some people have already commented how to find it.

However, on a tangential note: last I heard, they stopped adding new papers due to a trial in India, but I never found out the outcome of that. Anyone has news about this, or did I dream it?

With the new EU’s interconnection laws I hope I can WhatsApp from Pidgin, or even from irssi!

But no, I don’t use pidgin anymore. irssi, yes.

Also, some (most?) RSS readers don’t need the path to the feed directly. You give them the regular URL and they’ll figure it out. TinyTinyRSS does it.

I wish I had known about Power Delete Suite. I nuked my posts / comments by hand :-(

In case it’s useful to more people: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

Yes, these things are never dead. They just come back under a different name / pretensions until they pass.

I just spent a while today deleting all my posts and comments. At this point they’ll probably have plenty of copies of it, but at least the content is not up for them anymore.

Just trying to see if I can survive without an account there (the “forum fediverse”, if that makes sense, is getting better and better) and then it’ll go to the same place my Twitter and Facebook handles went a while ago.

I created my account in Spain around 2009, moved to Canada in 2014 and came back to Spain late last year. Never had a problem with this :-?

I created an account a few months ago but I’ve barely used it. DDG provides pretty much everything I search for. This might be because I don’t typically do very “esoteric” searches, but for now I don’t see the need for a paid service. Most of the times, tweaking the query so that it looks for a specific source is good enough.

I’d love if DDG had a system to remove entire domains entirely from the results, though.

Came here to post a similar comment zedeus made in another thread:

Nitter is dead.

I still checked some Twitter accounts from people that were interesting to me and didn’t migrate to Mastodon. One less thing to worry about, I guess.

Where’s that? I just ran a test search but I can’t see it :-?

Yes, I’m aware those filters exist, but I’m asking about the practical implications of the set up I mentioned in the post.

There was a very nice episode of the Odd Lots podcast about this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-07/huawei-mate-60-pro-chip-breakthrough-shocks-computing-world?srnd=oddlots

I moved back to Spain after 9 years abroad. I discovered this country runs on WhatsApp. Not a chance this will change in the short term.

Is it overkill? I think it is. Does it work for you? Go ahead then.

I installed a dokuwiki for personal use and it’s great. Some people might say it’s too much, but I’m happy with my choice.
