What is HiDream?
cuiiliste.de is an effort (of one person) to make the list and its effects transparent, and inform about how you can switch DNS.
A magnet link can be used to download the torrent file.
They're only more private in the sense that the link itself is not a torrent file you download and open. Instead, it's a link to that torrent file, downloadable through bittorrent.
It doesn't make your downloading any more private.
How do they make their service "not available" to a country?
By IP address location? Which, in my understanding, is not accurate.
By terms, stating "you can't use it if you live there"?

Who can use WIPO ALERT?
Advertisers, advertising agencies and their technical service providers can apply to become authorized users of WIPO ALERT in order to access aggregated lists of infringing websites from around the world.
They can use this information in their automated advertising systems to avoid placing advertisements on such sites. In this way, they can avoid subsidizing copyright infringement and protect their brands from the negative reputational effect of association with illegal activities.
The WIPO database is to protect advertising brands? Lol. Not what I was expecting, and pretty absurd to me.
So, can we see the list?
Authorized Users enter into a simple agreement with WIPO which provides that the User will use the data obtained through WIPO ALERT exclusively for preventing the misplacement of advertising on copyright-infringing websites and that it will use its best endeavors to keep the data confidential. The reason for the second restriction is that some countries feel that their lists of copyright-infringing websites should not be publicized, to avoid encouraging visits to those sites.
Confidential.
So, if it's some countries' agencies or orgs reporting or something, how accurate is the list?
Does WIPO guarantee the accuracy of the data on WIPO ALERT?
No. WIPO is simply providing a service to its Member States and to the international advertising industry in facilitating global access to data compiled at national level. The national agencies which create the lists of sites remain solely responsible for their contents.
Who is it?
World Intellectual Property Organization 34, chemin des Colombettes CH-1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland
is one of the 15 specialized agencies of the United Nations (UN).
WIPO was created to promote and protect intellectual property (IP) across the world by cooperating with countries as well as international organizations
I wonder if you could get the list as press or data protection offices or under some transparency laws.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology.
windows terminal is inferior
Note that there is an application called Windows Terminal and that's a terminal, not a shell. You can run any shell in it (including alternative or WSL shells).
I primarily use native Nushell via Windows Terminal.
You're not stuck with PowerShell or batch on Windows.
found a movie, but […] it wouldn’t play
So it played… you /s
Why do articles quoting shit like this never contextualize it?
I assume these numbers are, like they always are, a consumption = loss of buy equation, which is not a realistic calculation at all.
The article talks at length about accessibility, yet fails to point to that issue when quoting these "cost" numbers.
It's not like they're hosting any of those. It's not costing them anything. At most it should be labeled loss, but an equation makes no sense then either.
