The more precarious Capital can make their lives, the more they can be exploited.

The elderly are the problem. Many of them are hoarding all of the dog food for themselves to have cheap and easy meals in retirement. At this point there is none left for the pupperinos.

Basically, your VPN just replaces your ISP. So for example, if I want an ISP that’s okay with piracy a VPN can be3 a good option.

Your IP address is not how you are spied on for the most part. It’s more browser fingerprinting. So a VPN can offer a false sense of security when really enhancing your privacy is a lot less passive than that. Overall it can help but it’s not a magic privacy button.

Also entities like the NSA with a “god’s eye view” can just track you anyways. Even if the VPN service wasn’t compromised, they can just watch traffic going in and coming out and correlate it to you. It offers basically no protection from high-resource adversaries.

Basically Nexus/STC is an attempt to recreate sci-hub but in a decentralized manner. Everything is mirrored on IPFS which in my opinion is not that great but it gets the job done. Sci-hub has been frozen since 2021 so new papers are not available. As time progresses, sci-hub becomes less and less useful.

Scientific articles are crowd sourced instead of scraped. If the article isn’t on there it can be requested. They also mirror libgen databases.

Also it’s named Standard Template Construct as a Warhammer reference.

Here is a link on how to use it.

Z-library is no good. They basically mirror libgen’s database and then add additional books without feeding them back/maintaining public databases. It appears to be a for-profit enterprise.

Libgen, annas archive, and nexus are much better for liberating knowledge.

That’s totally normal, most car loans operate this way.

This would play so much better if they just raised prices and framed it as a discount during low-volume times.

I’d say the character of Ted Lasso is very relatable to me but that may be more of an indictment of my childhood than anything. It is fascist in that it takes place in

What about notepad?

Yeah it’s just crazy because if you’re into reddit enough to pay for it you’re probably producing value for them in the form of quality posts.
