Wait a second, beehaw is blocking instances because of politics? I don't like how this sounds.

Is there a way to get codecademy's Python3 course for free?
Not sure if that helps, but if you've never programmed before, I definitely recommend Automate The Boring Stuff With Python by Al Sweigart. The book is free to read, plus the author is on Reddit (u/alsweigart) and releases free signups to the Udemy course based on the book each month.

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.

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.

Problem - if you want to recreate a community that has fragmented after reddit exodus, which instance do you choose so that everyone who were spilled all over internet finds a way back together?
I think that time will tell which one ends up winning the race.
What I usually do is checking for activity, in terms of recent posts, comments, and whatnot. If both show similar activity levels, I'll just subscribe to both and keep watching for developments.

If something is priced above what I consider it's worth, I just don't use it.
Tell that to every student who has to pay unreasonable amounts every semester for textbooks...

What are the best crafts/meida/things to make and sell? as a sort of hobby.
Not sure if that's the type of creativity you're looking for, but it's quite common to sell stickers on Etsy, Redbubble and similar sites. Some stores are quite successful on it.

Where i can find the DEXUNPACKER last version of the modded deezer app?
I don't know about this specific app, but for Android APKs Mobilism is my preferred source. Never had a single problem so far.

Twitch stream live right now of Subreddits going dark
Does anybody know what is Reddit's userbase size? It's difficult to put some of the numbers in https://reddark.untone.uk/ in perspective. Using percentages on the Combined User Count would be more descriptive, for instance.

More about being a mod?
I'd like to know about that as well! Plus, given the relatively small size of some Lemmy communities, I'm sure it'll be way easier than being a mod on their Reddit counterparts.

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...
