We often hear about the latest engagement hacks on other platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or X, formerly known as Twitter.

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...
I once left a torrent on for ~three years at 50%, obviously no one seeded that anymore. one day i realised it was completed, and i have no idea when. now i only streamed my high sea amusements, i don’t even have a torrent client on anymore, but i like to think that the three copies seeded from mine (based on uploaded data) is still out there somewhere.
Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features. It’s not hyperbole to say that the startup repair, and the troubleshooters in settings, have never fixed an issue I’ve encountered with Windows. Not even once. Is this typical?...
I think it pointed out the right direction at least once, back when i was doing tech support (xp and pre-xp). Back when the toolkit includes whole stacks of cd’s containing every driver known to exist. I don’t even remember what it is, but it was something Realtek.

same here. it’s the real reason i don’t set it up for people, they need to be able to at least maintain it. My mother can’t get the update working either until i did it step by step with her and she practiced it several time.
No, there’s an A/B implementation going on. The UBO maintainers hadn’t seen the crackdown themselves and had to rely on troubleshooting reports to see what is going on which is wild to think about - both on their skill but also did google specifically whitelist them or are they exceptionally lucky
I donate to the Mozilla foundation, and I love Firefox a ton. But I can’t seem to like the UI by installing a theme, and when I change it to look better the browser slows to a crawl. Does it really matter all that much if I use Chromium?...
Or to recap from history, Internet Explorer has no incentive to follow web standards and web design was a stagnant table-based layout until Netscape shows up. Wouldn’t have complete separation of text and style the way we do today if css never took off.
Before social media back in the 2000’s i know quite a few personal site using home servers using them. And (google google) apparently these days cloudflare offers the service.
It’s not relevant to me, i’m in a different country, but in i’ve seen daily completely turn off your hidden phones, and only turn them on when it is safe because the alert will still blare when you turn on you phone the entire week before the test and also months before. Certain circles take warning each other about ‘Loud Day’ seriously.
There’s nothing stopping you from just deciding to build an idyllic cottage and not pursue a path to the Ender Dragon or anything else.
Spent so long pretending it’s Stardew Valley 3D and now cries in wanting to change from peaceful mode but having so much villagers and building a large enough wall and lighting against zombie siege is taking so long.
