For those without Telegram:

Dear readers,

Since most of our team is from post-Soviet states, we would like to honor the creator of the Flibusta project, Stiver. Flibusta is a free online library that provides access to Russian-language literature, allowing free exchange of literature among users.

On October 22, 2024, after a month of being treated for glioblastoma, which was unfortunately not curable, Stiver passed away through euthanasia.

Today we would like to honor the memory of Stiver, who shared the same goal of providing free access to knowledge. Same as Flibusta, Z-Library was created in 2009 with the mission of giving everyone the opportunity to read and learn, regardless of their financial status. This man was able to bring his idea to life and create a place where the words and thoughts captured in books could circulate freely.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of a man who has been a true asset to the book world. His efforts have made knowledge available to all, helping countless people broaden their horizons and discover new worlds of inspiration.

His memory will live on in our hearts as a symbol of the endless possibilities of the written word, a world that is truly open to all. We must continue his work of spreading knowledge and culture, and may his good deeds inspire us all.

Rest in peace, Stiver. Your contribution to making the world a better place through access to knowledge is immeasurable!

No.

God fucking damn it.

Is this some sort of yolk?

Hideous inside and out.

Because they have more money than you and, according to the US legal system, that’s all that matters.

I thought Xitter was going to be a bank! Honestly, who can follow the mentally-ill, cocaine-fueled ramblings of this man-baby?

Steal them Teslas!

…and three posts up Tesla is threatening to sue customers who want to resell their car. WTF, America?

Here’s the post I’m referencing.

True, true. Building their own gallows.

Agreed. There is always a subset of customers in which a business loses money. The corporations today have grown soft and cannot stomach a loss. It’s time we stop catering to weak companies and start catering to those who understand the risks associated with owning a business.

No, Okta; senior management caused you to get hacked, not an errant employee.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

…for the ultrarich.

Isn’t this assuming “active daily users” equate to people? Wouldn’t it stand to reason that “active daily users” are simply bots Musk has allowed to proliferate throughout the platform?

So much for freedom of speech.

Might as well put a placeholder in for the logo. Seems like Twitter is well on it’s way towards being sold to Truth Social or some other neo-Nazi organization.

For the record, I deactivated my account yesterday. 4,000 followers over the past few years, but it was time.

Ahh…the inherent problem of capitalism.

I’m not saying batteries should cost $1500. What I’m saying is that if Apple wants to make $1500 every time a battery needs to be replaced, they’ll just make the battery proprietary and ultra expensive. Think of Tesla. Does that make sense?
