Interesting
Few article I saw, all are very basic and low quality. How’s that ‘escalating’?
I ‘hate’ wikimedia foundation for one thing: they complied and gave away editors email to court and censored one page upon fraudulent lawsuit by a propaganda news channel in India. Sure if they didn’t, they might get threatened to be blocked in India but I really doubt it would’ve hold long enough given that whole wikipedia can be downloaded fairly easily (or it is trivial to set up a mirror). They probably won’t get donations though in that case :/ so probably the move is reasonable?
This, also publish subscriber only and secretly upload to sci-hub
The buttons are intended to be placebo except in some places.

OpenVMS: ‘I’m in trouble’
Great, I guess I’ll try out then.
Does it give high (≥ 1080p) quality in browser without widevine? Good way to check is firefox. It shows a handcuff sign near the address bar.
Do you use nebula? Do you know if it uses DRM? I’m considering a subscription for a while but couldn’t find proper answer for that.
I wish I could rely on Patreon and user funding only. That would be the dream, and if Patreon reached the same amount of money monthly as YouTube ads, I would disable ads on my channel (if that’s still even possible?). The reality though, is that we’re not even close to that yet, and so for now, I need ads, and sponsors to pay the bills.

so it is not the case always.
Though IMO if I don’t act based on an ad, the purpose of the ad is defeated and hence effectively the ad is blocked. There are ways to ‘clickjack’ or ‘show’ ads without actually seeing it, my proposal is a simplified version of that. I have never done those ‘ad viewing’ tricks because they are complicated, and probably not suitable for people outside the tech bubble anyway. Also disabling blockers like ubo on a regular browsing session for any website has privacy and potentially security implication, not to mention requirement of using a non blocking dns for the said session.
Patreon is great, I’m talking about the gratis option. I personally have no ‘guilt’ regarding ad blockers and I don’t remember last time I saw ad (except on other people’s devices) online1. The question was about convincing people to use ad blocker or alt clients who do not want to or can’t afford to pay creators directly.
1 excluding sponsorship in videos… I do not use sponsorblock and I found sponsored contents from some channels useful.
Me reading the headline: who tf resurrected the cvs and made an android app for it
I find TV annoying for a while. Though not adhd specific but background music (any music, not the ‘chill beats’ lol) can help focus sometimes for some, including me.
Totally not fbi, but will he be in that live stream this monday?
While you can’t directly upload to scihub, https://libgen.li/librarian.php is an option. Eventually some from here might end up in scihub but it doesn’t matter.
edit: I knew a researcher who used to send articles (own and others downloaded through institute) directly to Alexandra over email. But that was a while ago, no idea if that still works.
