Matrix

I believe so. From my experience, using it with TOR proxy made it somewhat unreliable.

I think TOR would be more suitable than a VPN

It’s alright! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Also, new developers stepped up to maintain vimusic.

According to the description, it is “perfect for security monitoring, content creation, or any situation requiring background video recording without compromising your privacy.”

Try asking on gun-related communities.

You’re welcome

I’ll do you one better and recommend Dostoevsky’s The Double. Way more sinister and eerie, as it deals with schizophrenia.

Check out Cloudstream. It requires extensions to function and some of them include torrent providers.

I understand where you’re coming from, and I agree. This why I made sure to mention that this does not apply to all situations and not everyone’s experience is the same in this respect.

Precisely, what the author has in mind is when expectations do not lign up with one’s reality and how this might lead to their entire worldview crashing down. We as human beings seek comfort and certainty, which is why we tend to formulate some intrinsic meaning to the world we live in. But what happens when we don’t have the capacity anymore to find any meaning to life? Is taking one’s own life the only option? These questions are of an existential nature, which places Cioran in the same tradition as authors like Camus, Schopenhauer and Sartre.

Anyhow, this is simply my review of the book and how I understood it. I don’t particularly agree with its whole philosophy.

That’s what I used to do before opting for online streaming.

Some minor gripes is that these files seemingly dont come with metadata, and you cant download a whole playlist or album at a time, both being huge bummers :/

I’m pretty sure yt-dlp can do this. Why not try Seal on F-droid.

Tested it out of curiosity. Restoring a vimusic backup crashes the app.

Yes, it is archived.

Seems like this is the closest project to be still functioning. Thank you.

I have a friend who uses it religiously, and I found out they would sometimes sneak pictures of people around them, including me. Totally uncool behavior!

You thought Lemmy’s co-founder and main developer is a bot? Lmao

Azazeel by Youssef Ziedan. It’s a tale set in 5th-century Egypt and the Levant, following a coptic monk’s journey amidst the theological controversies of the early Christian curch. Apart from the protagonist (and his devilish visitor) I think all the characters are historically real as well as for the events. It’s a very interesting period during which Christians, Jews and Atheists coexisted, although perturbently.

The admins are principled Marxists so they wouldn’t sell out or concede without a fight.

Oh, didn’t know that. Thanks.

Thank you for your input! I read your review and I appreciate the fact that you mentioned History, that “great disorderly Tangle of Lines.” I refrained from tackling it mainly because of a quote that I am still struggling to wrap my head around:

As Savages commemorate their great Hunts with Dancing, so History is the Dance of our Hunt for Christ, and how we have far’d. If it is undeniably so that he rose from the Dead, then the Event is taken into History, and History is redeem’d from the service of Darkness,— with all the secular Consequences, flowing from that one Event, design’d and will’d to occur. (Ch. 7, p. 75)
