I strongly disagree with the text. I understand it as the author doesn't want the people of Iran to liberate themselves from tyranny, because then they would be controlled by US which is also tyrannic. But not supporting people liberating themselves because one feels like they know better than the people seems just like the imperialist logic, just reversed. What are your thoughts? Does the text reflect common opinion among anarchists?

You get to live a happy life and don't care about all the horrible things happening all across the world. You wouldn't feel terrible for children getting killed in a genocide half the globe away, every day. Blissful ignorance.

My response would be no. And I suppose most responses are gonna be no, but I also don't think anyone who already doesn't care would take a pill to start caring. That's an interesting concept to me.

I'm sure that what me caring does to my mental state is far worse than however good is anything it does to anyone else. But by that logic, if everyone stopped caring, how would the world look like?

EDIT: It's permanent. It doesn't take away your emotions, it just stops you from caring about things like wars as long as they don't directly affect you. Just like many people already have it.

Hi, I'm thinking about writing a media piracy tutorial for absolute beginners (think my mother - people who can use browsers and office but that's about it).

Does anybody know what's the legislation for that? I'm in the Czech Republic (EU), and the site is hosted on Codeberg pages (Germany). Nameservers for my domain are managed by CloudFlare (USA). So I'm curious about both EU and US laws.

If it's illegal, can I make it legal by not including any direct links, or stating some "educational purposes only" bullshit?

I feel like the internet is full of that stuff and even GitHub READMEs usually get away with "we don't condone piracy", but I also vaguely remember some lawsuit against redditors discussing piracy?

Thanks for advice.

I made this userscript to play multiple videos from pirate streaming sites in sync (play/pause them at the same time)

usecase: You want to watch dubbed version of a movie (most people here probably watch in english, but may have friends or family members who don't). You find dubbed version, but in poor quality. Finding high quality english version is easy. You play the english version muted in foreground, and the dubbed version with audio in the background. With this userscript, you can play or pause them at the same time.

Not sure if anyone else finds it useful, but it' super useful for me, so I figured I'll share it here.

I've written this blog post about moving from rooted Samsung to a Pixel running GrapheneOS. It's a list of every root tool that I used, with a note on whether I'll miss it. I wrote it as a checklist for myself initially, and decided to add links and more comments and publish it. Turns out I don't really need root, which truly surprised me.

Do you have any apps or tools that hold you back from leaving root?

Being at school is so incredibly boring I'm literally losing my mind. Drawing pretty much anything is better than paying attention.
