Maybe direct download makes money, as they often limit download count and speed to promote paid subscriptions, which a visitor only needs if someone uploaded something they need, so the uploader gets some money back, I guess. And for the others, there’s still ad revenue

Torrent links can still be found on pages full of ads, but still, once you got the file or the magnet link, you don’t need to be on that site anymore.

That’s a nice unintended pun for a publisher named “404media” to talk about removed stuff being backed up

Meta also argued that the BitTorrent sharing was a necessity to get the valuable (but pirated) data.

Actually that’s not true, they could have done hit-and-run, not that it helps anything though.

23k people in 29 countries.

Per country, that’s not even as many people as in the small town where my parents lived in the middle of nowhere, and in total, that’s not even a fifth of the population of the city I now live in, which isn’t that big either.

With the same proportion, I’m sure one could say 30% of gen z is far-right.

The company also stresses that the data helped establish U.S. global leadership in AI.

Just like the data helps establish much needed universal access to education and entertainment.

But of course, the argument is only relevant when it goes in favor of the rich people.

Oh, indeed.

However, if you click switch the “hide links” dropdown to “show links”, there’s a bunch of forum links appearing, if you can create or already have an account on one of those then you could download there, or you could download elsewhere while making sure the hashes match.

There’s a link on fmhy.net

This is a cool user script.

Thank you !

I do want to encourage anyone running user scripts on their email clients to be very careful.

What about stuff that runs everywhere, including email clients ?

uBO for example, is a much bigger codebase that no random user is gonna read, yet it does run on ProtonMail and there’s no way to be sure no malicious person injected something in there to read people’s emails.

In addition, I also have userscripts that technically do run everywhere, but only do something concrete on some websites, that I don’t have a finite list of URLs for.

For example, Fediverse redirector is a userscript that redirects any Fediverse app instance to the user’s choice. But, any URL may be a Fediverse app, and I need to check it first. Same with Enhancements for Forgejo, this one adds features to Forgejo instances, but any URL could be a Forgejo instance.

if you don’t understand every bit of the script you are opening yourself up to exploitation

Yeah, maybe I should add some comments, and also highlight the import of createFetchInterceptor (still my own code but in a separate file for reusability).

This is the privacy community after all.

* Piracy 😉

It might be, yes : https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/blob/main/src/routes/pages/shared/CommentsPage.tsx#L41

As mentioned by @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml, the solution is to add type_=All in query parameters.

From the Voyager app’s source code, it seems like the value is undefined by default.

I think replacing this by All could fix the issue. But, I have no experience in that app’s dev stack, so I can’t be sure.

Therefore, I’d suggest submitting a GitHub issue showing 2 screenshots : of the same post, one on Voyager, the other one on another app, where the former shows less comments than the latter. Indicate that replacing undefined with All might fix the issue.

If the maintainer(s) reproduce and confirm, they’ll push the fix.

If I was more confident, I’d directly make a PR, but I’m not.

The consequences of what that article proposes is we’re gonna be back to this period of history where companies were all using proprietary technology that self-taught devs won’t ever learn and that students will only learn if they can afford a school that can use it, in addition to poor developer experience because of maintainer agenda being driven by money rather than community requests.

What is Subsonic ?

That’s funny, I’ve been using a library of the same name : UrlPattern

Though not for this purpose, despite them sharing features.

Nice ! Ever heard of image compression though ? 😅

In this very community, I’ve seen plenty of Unraid posts, as much as I do on Reddit.

They’ve been working on this for a year and a half.

Of course, ownership, I somehow forgot about that, too much looking from the blogger side lol

But yes, 100%.

I would love to be wrong indeed. Would you have some links ? When I asked on the Ghost subreddit, multiple people said Ghost v6 doesn’t do Fediverse commenting.

Why does commenting on a blog post need any kind of account?

Reply notifications, commenting history.

capcha

I don’t know about you, but I hate those, and wouldn’t want people to have to go through that, as I wouldn’t want to have to go through that.

manual approval

That’s a lot more work, and it delays the conversation when replying to another visitor.

Yeah, I created this project in order to me more straightforward, low-code, just embedding an iframe, and the rest is taken care of.

It works now !

If you’re curious, here’s the fix
