Another word for “marketing” or “advertisement” is Manipulation. Shady, manipulative, tactics.

Fuck them. I love Lemmy because it seems like the ratio of like-minded people is much larger here. Nothing better than seeing other principled people that would rather give up some comforts than deal with ads and bend the knee to the pieces of shit that try to push them.

Even products in the supermarket (such as bread!!) come with ads in the fucking plastic wrapper. I have changed my bread brand due to this. I will absolutely give up any comfort to avoid your manipulation. I will fucking shower in cold water if it means I don’t bend the knee to pieces of shit.

This should serve as motivation to move away from any and all corporations. Do not lose your community. Find a proper free-libre-open-source alternative and move the community there. Communities are important. Corporations are not.

Slightly Off-Topic:

I never liked Discord. First and foremost, nowadays, I cannot log into it when I am using a VPN. And back when I could, it always felt so laggy and clunky.

I think todays society is not used to performant software. Everyone just buys a new computer/smartphone every year or every 2 years or so, so they probably have compute power to run whatsoever. I run old shit. 13 year old desktops or so, with no dedicated graphics card, old smartphones, etc. I need software to be performant.

I am not sure if you are aware, but there is a “fandom wiki” dictionary maker: https://github.com/Runik-3/core. I have used it in the past and it works perfectly.

Thank you!

I will try it out later and see how it goes. Did you take this from Kobo itself? It would be nice to learn how to do that!

This guy needs to seriously go. Fucking hell.

We have built such a fucking pathetic society.

Ya, I plan to do it that way. But spotify quality is enough for me, and if one could get songs easily by just searching/downloading from that hack, it would make my life much easier. I suppose the spotify hack also has more songs than soulseek.

Sorry for asking a question?

If they WERE in Anna’s Archive, the answer would be “yes”. That is, one can get the songs, and one can do it by going to Anna’s Archive. However, the fact that the songs are NOT in Anna’s Archive, does not prove that the songs from that hack cannot be obtained, which was my question. They could be elsewhere. In some specific site made for that hack. Or some torrent, or something like that. Someplace I don’t know about.

Thank you for replying, regardless.

Thank you, that would be great!

Thank you!

Can you also do this with other languages? The PT-PT (Portuguese, from Portugal) dictionary on Kobo is quite ok. I would love to have it available on KOReader.

I found these links in a mobileread thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=358795

Edit: Here’s a link to the color version of the SOED if anyone is interested in that one https://archive.org/details/soedrich-star-dict-2022-11-11

I haven’t tested them yet. Maybe it would be nice if some other people saved them, to safeguard them.

EDIT: I tested them on KOReader. They work. Yay.

I am still looking for a good dictionary PT-PT. If anyone knows of anything, let me know, please.
