Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Andrew Tate is ’too smart to read’ and says books are for ‘slow brains’English
15·11 days agoAgreed. I will never understand how these people got famous. I do understand that they are manipulative and all that, but still… For manipulative people to be successful, one needs to be manipulated. I think this says more about the manipulated (and society overall) than it does about these manipulative, stupid, pieces of shit.
We will always have unscrupulous pieces of shit. The fact that society is choosing to make these people famous, and “powerful”, is dystopian. Absolutely pathetic.

2·11 days agoI 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.

2·12 days agoThank 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!

122·20 days agoYa, 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.

132·20 days agoSorry 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.

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.

16·23 days agoI found these links in a mobileread thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=358795

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.

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.
