Teacher: "And so, the United States dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, wiping the cities off the map, and causing untold amounts of death and suffering to those who were caught in their wake."
Note that the article is an auto-generated comparison. In my opinion these two cars aren’t really comparable and are only kind of similar in terms of looks and dimensions. Everything else is pretty different. The volvo is about twice as heavy and up to three times as powerful depending on configuration and is available with allwheel drive vs just frontwheel drive fir the Dacia and far more luxurious. They appeal to a completely different class of cutomers.
Yeah, there are lots of manufacturers like that. They typically start out as an overseas factory producing the main manufacturer’s cars, then the factory expands into producing its own cars alongside.
That was super epic gamer of you 😎 sure showed him heheheh what will you use your awesome powers for next? Pls no block I want to see your brilliant content 🥺
Do everything you can! Switch people’s default search engine in their browser if they won’t switch. I am nearly done coverting my entire office to DDG! Row! Row! Fight the power!
Their ads and search are their bread and butter if I’m not mistaken. So even if all you can do is change their browser’s default engine every little bit helps. I myself have uninstalled chromium browsers and switch to FF/LibreWolf. I still have Google Authenticator but that will take me longer to kick with its 30+ entries. I’d love it if I could find out which services cost them money and heavily use those for the time being.
That is my next move as well as abandoning GPay. My final move will be sorting through the 400+ accounts attached to my gmail and switch that to proton. With my schedule it will take me possibly 2 months to get around to it unfortunately.
Every book has a unique number used to identify them, the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). If you can figure out the ISBN of a book, it becomes an easy search term for piracy, because now you aren't looking for a long title, you're looking for a unique number!
Most bookstores will list the ISBN of a book on their website, so that step should be pretty easy.
Then to commit the piracy, you can often just google the ISBN + filetype:pdf and get a free PDF pretty frequently.
There is also library genesis (libgen), where you can look up pirated books via their ISBN, which has a super wide selection.
And if even libgen does not have it, you can try torrent trackers (read up more on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy )
Of course most of those options are legally questionable or illegal depending on where you live, and I of course would not recommend you actually perform them ;)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !piracy
Although the founding family’s name was written in the Kanji “豊田” (rendered as “Toyoda”), the company name was changed to a similar word in katakana - トヨタ (rendered as “Toyota”) because the latter has 8 strokes which is regarded as a lucky number in East Asian culture.
