FYI, the repo is not DMCAd yet, only the download URL which moved to gitflic.

Hosting on the github was never going to work. This needs hoisting on something like a gitea behind an anonymized host which ignores dmca
Only problem of hosting in a russian site, is that it’s going to raise red flags for many people, causing them to avoid it.
That mostly reeks of Classic Americacentrism. When a software is in a US site, it’s “good” but subject to DMCA. When it’s in a Russian site, suddenly it’s All Malware (Always Has Been)?
I wish there were some quality news media where readers are willing to pay.
All these perverted “we have a right to our revenue even though nobody wants to pay for our shitty product” assholes can go home.
“Nobody”? The New York Times alone has over 10 million paying subscribers.
And then it’s a steep dropoff… Maybe ten newspapers with more than 1m subscribers.

The problem is that I don’t want to only read news from one source. I also don’t want to pay 15 different news subscriptions.
If the same organization that shut down this repo would spend the time and money coming out with a joint account that was reasonably priced, people wouldn’t resort to piracy.
But nope. Each paper needs their own subscribers.
