Do you find piracy more fun than consuming the pirated content?

Lurking through communities related to my favorite literary genres while having Z-Lib is like walking into a candy store as a 10-year-old and being told that you can get all that you want free of charge. Of course curating a library is enjoyable lmao

I actually like the download limit that Z-Lib has for regular users. If you use it up, it moght be a good time for you to go actually read what you have downloaded.

Who even uses Celsius

Reply in thread

What additional arguments besides personal experience would you give to back this precision claim?

Temperature scales are arbitrary by nature, and the criteria behind their definition can be useful or not. Fahrenheit's isn't that much useful compared to Celsius' or Kelvin's.

On the other hand, transitioning hasn't been smooth at all for a lot of comunities. The user is loosing access to them by leaving Reddit.

I think that trying to be more proactive on Lemmy by getting those comunities you miss from Reddit to thrive here + becoming a Reddit lurker using adblocks and some of the 3rd party apps that won't be dead in a couple of weeks is the "least wrong" way to make the change if you want to make it gradual.

Alternative to Z-library?

Who said that Zlib is gone? Besides Tor, you can get access to personal domains by sending an email to blackbox [at] zlib [dot] se

I know it may sound scammy, but if you still have a Reddit account I'd go to r/zlibrary and browse the pinned megathread for more info. I really hope that this community will eventually migrate here though...
