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.

Searx is an alternative meta-search engine that can include google results. If you don’t want to host an instance you can find one here: https://searx.space/

I like https://searx.work/ personally.

What is the mistake?

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.

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

It depends on what you mean by sustainable, it can mean a lot of different things.

In terms of CO2 production, plastics really can’t be beat at the moment. Their weight relative to other materials makes them cost significantly less CO2 to ship.

In terms of biodegradability, we have composable plastics like PLA but you’re not going to get the properties you want in terms of strength.

If you make a model kit with biodegradable plastic but you have to buy 5 of them instead of 1 because they keep breaking, using ABS is more sustainable in my opinion.

That’s painted by the same artist that painted the famous picture owned by Epstein of Bill Clinton in the blue Lewinsky dress Petrina Ryan-Kleid.

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.
