For real, though, I really wish I could easily run Office with Bottles or something like that. Never managed to make it work

His Painting 1946 is one of my favorites, him and Goya captured this haunted feel so well

They index results from five sources and update the main ones (two LibGen forks) monthly. They mirrored the Z-Library database before the website was seized (end of November 2022), indexed the new .onion addresses and haven't updated the dataset since because they're waiting for the situation to stabilize in order to figure out a way to regularly fetch new stuff from there too, as far as I know

Remember to check the Internet Archive library, you can easily borrow lots of amazing quality books for free and even rip the files. The Standard Template Construct has lots of stuff too, especially recent scientific articles Sci-Hub hasn't published yet

Here are the official links: https://zlibrary-global.se/z-access#useful_link_tab. I would recommend just opening the .onion link (last tab on the page) with the Tor Browser in Safe mode and logging in with an anonymous e-mail and random password. Nowadays I'd rather use Anna's Archive, though, it has most of the Z-Library database indexed anyway

You beat me to it, so let me recommend what I check when Anna's Archive and LibGen don't have what I need (usually recent articles that are not on Sci-Hub): Standard Template Construct, here's their GitHub repo

On their app that should be harder to skip because the timeline is based on their algorithm and ads should be unavoidable, but how the hell would they force a user on another platform to see it? And how would they even directly target this person with a specific ad? If what people on instances federated with Threads see on their federated timeline are regular posts from business accounts placed in chronological order, I'm guessing there'd be no problem just blocking those "profiles" and moving on

You got it already

Yeah, they fixed things and owned up to it, best you can do when you fuck things up: https://blog.windscribe.com/ukrainian-server-seizure-a-commentary-and-state-of-the-industry-e71e8d205b26/. I feel like people give them too much shit for this, just like with that Proton climate activist case
