If you're afraid of visiting Russian websites, piracy is probably not for you.

Anna’s Archive does this. I think its a really good way to make it difficult to take them down.

Hopefully this hack starts some conversations on how they can ensure longevity for their project. Seems they’re being attacked on multiple fronts now.

Don't worry, we have plenty of venomous spiders as well!

It's funny hearing people say this here in Canada. Like we have polar bears and moose and shit. A moose will fuck you up a lot worse than a big spider or whatever. I'm much more fearful of our wildlife.

I'm pretty sure both the App Store and the Google Play Store both require social media apps to have a block feature. Will be interesting to see what happens if he goes through with this.

Ive provided one in another comment.

I don't understand that interpretation. The original comment was:

Israel could have taken out entire hospital staffs with this “technique”. Hope they remain human and don’t.

To which macarthur_park replied:

Seems unlikely considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.

They do not think it's likely that hospital staff, Hezbollah affiliated or not, could be in danger. I challenged that. I don't think they were aware that Hezbollah had a civilian wing at all, and that many public sector workers are technically "Hezbollah-affiliated" due to the nature of the political situation there.

No one has suggested that in this comment chain.

Good, then we should all agree that this was a despicable attack on Israel's part and this whole conversation is pointless.

They said “Seems unlikely [that pagers would be in the hands of doctors] considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.”

That article directly refutes that. It is heavily implied when you’re all saying “Hezbollah” you’re talking about militants. Again, it is unreasonable to suggest that workers, including doctors and nurses, that are part of the civilian arm of Hezbollah’s de facto government are fair targets in either morality or international law.

Hezbollah, the de facto government of large parts of Lebanon, ordered the pagers and widely distributed them. Many of them went to civilians for legitimate purposes. It's unreasonable to suggest that these are fair targets because they were briefly in Hezbollah's control at some point along the chain.

My grandfather drew a comic based on this joke in the late 60s, thanks for reminding of it!
