google continuing on their crusade to force ads down everyone’s eyeballs

not that it’s surprising, just “good” to see this playing out exactly as predicted

multi instance harassment

also: wat

nor does said trauma give one permission to be an asshole unto others

I specifically did not touch on that aspect because, like, yay accidental benefit? but extreme emphasis on the "accidental", and it's not debate club and and and.. but then they had to go throw a tantrum

if you want to get really mad, shibboleth "elsevier". it'll be a speedrun of learning some of the worst of what's fucked atm

edit: to the absolute human shitstain that downvoted this

ugh. don't do that :<

have the balls to reply why.

this isn't highschool, no-one owes you homework

(a bit of advice: instead treat that as a reason to reflect as to why. you might learn something)

which I assume pays for access to their books/papers and doesn’t libgen or equivs them

wrong assumption tbh. the open-access fight is happening because the publisher cartels are extortionate and access is extremely uneven. I (personally/directly) know more than a few people presently in academia who roll libgen on a daily basis because it is easier/quicker/the only option/the only actually working option for the things they need

hey no shaming libgen, that shit exists for good reason

yeah my 3~4y old logitech g502 has a button that's progressively been coming loose for some months now, and I don't think there's much I can do about it. switch seems fine, but ugh

very not keen to have to hunt for a replacement

I realize you might be trying to mock a common refrain from rightwing nutjobs but this isn’t really the place

mock at all means, but do so with class and wit

so… are we blaming muffin for this week? seems it’s more posts than usual this time ;p

I only now saw how badly the syntax on my post is fucked, that’s what I get for trying to snip things in a dodgy textentry rather than a real editor 😅

leaving it up for posterity tho.
