Been trying Void Linux

It's a really good distro in my opinion. When I used it, many obscure package that you would have trouble finding in other's distro's repositories, were right there in the main package repository of void. I also really liked working with runit over systemd as writing your own services was really simple.

If I hadn't switched to NixOS I'd still be using void as my daily driver.

Damm Eastern Europeans and their fascist genes

Ah I see you are on mobile. What works for me on mobile is the following:

  1. Copy the link of the article you want to bypass the paywall for.
  2. Open a new incognito tab that doesn't have any cookies whatsoever (I usually only have this single tab open in incognito)
  3. Load https://www.google.com in the incognito tab
  4. Paste the link of the article into the search bar from https://www.google.com (use the search bar of the site not the one from your browser, this is important) and press search.
  5. If you now click the corresponding article link from the resulting google results page, the article should load without any paywall.

AFAIK this exploits the same mechanism that the bypass paywalls extension exploits. Websites want to make their articles accessible via google if you directly search for them, but want to have a paywall if you find the article via their website. This works for me for most major international news websites on Firefox for iOS

Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul - A short independent documentary on the world of defectors and South Korean Intelligence

Seriously, that is such a great quote!

I always wonder though, if it wouldn't be better for communists to talk about proletarian democracy vs. bourgeoise democracy instead of dictatorship of the proletariat vs. dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Talking about dictatorships is such an easy angle for capitalists to smear communism, as one can easily take this out of context and insinuate that communists want authoritarian hell holes.

Because this issue is used as a battering ram to weaken the Chinese government. The West keeps talking about there being a 'Tiananmen Massacre' where unarmed students were killed even though behind closed doors US diplomats admit there was no bloodshed on TIananmen. It is really hard to defend yourself against those accusations which are false when the other side doesn't need to produce any evidence whatsoever. What is provable are the deaths of the soldiers and maoists fighting in street battles outside the square but that was not a massacre and funnily enough the West also doesn't like to talk about those deaths
