  • Redreader still seems to be pulling posts into a collection like r/all. I have had some theories about how it works and have always used it to have an uncurated experience.

    I’m thinking it isn’t opening r/all in reddit’s API and it instead kind of builds that selection of posts from everywhere on redreader’s end. I can’t prove it but the fact it’s working now seems to play into this. Maybe I’m delusional.

    Either way, fingers crossed reddit doesn’t get sick of blind people getting to control their own content stream and boot it off the API. Would pretty much fit the bill for their shit





  • As of the last 20 years I’ve had great success in searching for piracy sources in Spanish. Argentina and Chile have great metal and EDM fandoms and for the longest time you could find entire albums just uploaded to S. American music blogs and wikis searchable on google.

    Now when I’m looking for stuff on Soulseek my most constant results are coming from South American IP addresses. But I’m routing my own VPN through there so maybe that’s not hard evidence of anything. I just know that for a lot of places they aren’t in the 15 Eyes intel sharing agreements and don’t seem particularly interested in prosecuting online copyright violations. At least as of now, these things can change.

    Also Iceland has a prominent data liberty movement and tends not to prosecute, but I don’t know if it’s the same for if somebody tried to host from there. I think about the old TPB guys back when they were scrambling to find places they could possibly operate out of and Iceland wasn’t really on the table for them, even back when it was starting to have hopes at a tech sector market boom. But I really don’t know too much about their situation. This is conjecture.
