36 years after ousting Marcos, Filipinos elect son as president in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Is he crazy charismatic and persuasive?

No, he has had virtually no mainstream media presence. Absent in nearly all debates and presidential interviews. His campaign relies solely on his family's name and the propaganda and historical revisionism that the Marcoses have been relying on for decades. There were certain territories here that were always Marcos loyalists, particularly Ilocos Norte.

One of the biggest problem in this country has always been the amount of misinformation propagated on Facebook, Youtube and now TikTok. If you thought the situation in the US was bad, a Cambridge Analytica whistleblower confessed that the Philippines was the company's petri dish for testing new proxies. Pair that with piss poor public education, and that's how the son of a dictator wins.

Neither did I till recently. Has some shitty DRM on it that is apparently hard to work around. Oh well.

YouTube member only vids - is there really no way to rip/access them without paying? (lemmy.ml)
 

Trying to get into a show that's only on YouTube or some niche streaming service is hell.

I know that, if you have an account that paid for member, you can use your info/cookies to download the vids using JDownloader or yt-dl, but again - not paying for that shite.

Anyone know a place that pirates Kanopy titles? (lemmy.ml)
 

There's a lot of obscure stuff available on Kanopy (site that lets you stream movies if your uni offers it or you have library card) that are I find are only on Kanopy. I've been looking everywhere that I can for Filming Desire: A Journey Through Women's Cinema, but it's one of those things that you can either only find in a library not accessible to you or for 200 dollars on eBay.

Anyway, any help is appreciated.
