That's a bap.

No experience with it, but…

  • Founded in 2018
  • Copyright date says 2020
  • Still says "Join as a Founder!" in 2023
  • Appears to be tied up in crypto nonsense

Signs point to untrustworthy.

If you're on desktop, look at the right hand side of your screen, scroll down a little, and click the link that says "Megathread".

If you're on mobile, tap the ⋮ in the top-right of the Piracy community, then tap Community Info. Scroll down a little, and tap the link that says "Megathread".

It's also the first link in the pinned post in the community.

Not an answer, but just to cover the bases:

I use https://audiobookbay.li/ but, as you say, it can be a bit unreliable, especially if the book isn't recent.

There's https://tokybook.com/ (from the Megathread) but its selection is somewhat lacking too.

The HVAC industry is working on that.

From the old Megathread: "These are not recommended on this subreddit as trusted sites for various reasons, but the main reasons why igg-games is not recommended is due to their history of shady behavior"

I tried to sign up for Instagram to check it out. Here's my experience of attempting to sign up:

  • I gave my email address and date of birth.
  • I chose a password.
  • I chose a usernam--
  • Upon typing the first character of my chosen username, I saw an error message: "An error has occurred. Please refresh the page."
  • I refreshed the page.
  • "Your account has been suspended as you have breached our Community Guidelines. Please complete the information below to have the matter reviewed."
  • I gave my email address (again).
  • I checked my email and click the link they sent me.
  • I gave my phone number.
  • I checked my SMS and provide the code they sent me.
  • I was asked to take a "Verification Selfie". You have to write your name, your username, and a six-digit number they give you "on a clean piece of paper" and hold it up. Your hand and face must be visible in the photo. It's not entirely clear what they want to verify this picture against. Or what username you're supposed to use, because, again, this whole thing started when I'd typed an "a".

And at that point I realised I wasn't welcome on Instagram.

Back when Amazon Smile was a thing, I had Amazon notifications turned on (a prerequisite for earning charity donations), and had Tasker set up to automatically dismiss them so they wouldn't bother me.

Thanks! It sounds weird to say I hope one day I'll be able to smell blocked drains again though :P

Where's everybody from? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Just curious how spread out we are. I'm up in West Yorkshire myself.

Edited to add: Hi /all! Please remember this is a UK-based community, just in case you're confused. But you are of course welcome. :)

(Please remember that anything you post on the Fediverse might stay on other instances forever, even if you delete it from yours. I'd recommend you not get any more specific than county or local authority level.)

 

The sheer number of videos taken "the wrong way round" (for my computer's monitor) is mind-boggling. I get that some people watch videos on their phones, but is it really that many?

Shopkeep! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

 

Used the site for longer than I care to admit, joined the protest, and when I went back after the blackout I kinda realised I don't really belong there any more given the nature of gaslighting the current management is engaged in. So I nuked and paved.

Here's hoping the Threadiverse goes to the moon! 🚀
