Genuinely pretty interesting. It’s one thing to know a shadow library like Anna’s Archive exists, but it’s another to see what goes into it behind the scenes. Most people just see webpages. To many, it’s where the books come out of for free, nothing more.
They use reddit instead of lemmy or their own forum… bizarre.
It would definitively be nice to see them on FOSS platforms, they probably just want to be where the users are. But yeah, I do agree
tbh i doubt they can be on fedi since their domain gets seized too often
Holy shit that image is so fucking based. I’m glad I’m not the only one who realizes how stupid consumerist rhetoric is.
Everyone who thinks art won’t get made or engineering won’t get done without copyright and patent laws has never paid attention to history.
The tech stack reminds me of this: https://boringtechnology.club/
The post links to the original version of this. It’s the “innovation tokens” link.
Completely missed that! No wonder that the post made me think of it then!
Man, if I ever find my books via their search, I’ll be so hyped
I’ve found scans of books I’ve done myself on their search :)
