Free dissemination of knowledge that benefits the advancement of mankind should never be illegal. In fact, Z-Library being illegal is immoral. That being said, I simply use Z-Library to inspect books before purchasing them. Translations from different authors are often remarkably different. Sometimes books have horrible layout. So yeah, Z-Library has been indispensable to avoid wasting money. Case in point, part of the first paragraph of Dostoevsky's House of the Dead, the Dover versus Penguin edition

If z library only contained actual knowledge sure, but it seems to be primarily fiction. But no it's immoral because the author likes to save money and not go to a physical store.

I like piracy too but saying that banning piracy is immoral and comparing it to apartheid, slavery and ccolonialism is just ridiculous.

Can't you vote at an embassy or consulate?

Vote in person then 🤷

Here it's only possible to mail vote from abroad and I have never done it but it doesn't appear that you get a confirmation here either.

If we are talking about registers of who voted and not for whom. Why does it matter? Who voted isn't secret at all. So why even bring that up? For the record I voted in the most recent EU and national elections.

Why would the government know your voting history? Isn't voting anonymous where you live?

No idea what a tax id is but in Sweden everyone's home address, income, phone number, "personnummer" (a unique ID assigned to every citizen), and some other stuff. And for the most part it works pretty well. I'm usually concerned about privacy but I don't mind this because it applies to everyone equally (except a few people with protected identity for safety reasons) and it's just so open and convenient.

I'm not saying that all government documents should be public information but here most documents are.

It's more like incompetent management. Developers haven't suddenly gotten worse if they are given less resources and time for the tasks assigned to them.

You can do regular code blocks in Slack? I thought you only could do inline or in snippets.

We luckily use both at work.

Yeah, maybe Parsec.

Teams isn't intended for streaming video games, it's for meetings.

Have you used teams for sending code recently?

I tested it last week and it worked pretty well and even featured syntax highlighting. From the very limited one time test I actually prefer the way teams handle code since it doesn't force you to use some kind of snippet.

Teams is also supposed to get better formatting and chats fairly soon. I will continue to use slack because I prefer it but it's nice that teams is at least getting better.

There is a setting in slack that is enabled by default so that notifications will only arrive on your computer if you are active on it.

Discord does the same thing. It's great, I wish teams and outlook did it too.

That's not really Teams fault though. Sounds more like a team issue than a Teams issue.

This is designed to work with all games so it's more similar to how many emulators implement quick save than how it works in most games. I suspect or rather hope that it's as fast (instantaneous) as it is in emulators.

It also appears that it's supposed to rewind like you can do in some racing games.

It's more complicated than a simple quick save button found in mostly older games. It's a neat feature but I would obviously prefer that they didn't get the patent so Xbox also could implement something similar.
