A website where you can download paywalled scientific literature. Most scientific literature is paywalled by publishers, and costs a real significant amount to read (like 30-50$ per article if you don’t have a subscription).
Scihub basically just pirates it. And has been shut down several times. But as most scientific studies are already laid with public money, scihub isn’t that unethical at all.
Sigh…
Authy desktop was extremely useful when my phone broke during an international trip, and getting a new one obviously took some time due to well… being abroad.
Yeah this sounds more like a distraction so as not to spend a single dollar extra on real measures.
That has been tried with the DoNotTrack header. Turned out servers didn’t oblige by it.
Whether or not it was a plug, at the time of the incident this piece its role was basically that of a portion of fuselage.
And the rest of the world will say the same with respect to American spyware.
This is damn great.
Something I did to someone who needed to know the effects of not locking ones screen when away: alias ls to echo 'Error: file not found'. Took them a good hour to figure out what was wrong with their machine 😅

Reddit doesn’t allow targeting by community?! To me that seems like the most obvious feature.
Interesting. Breaks are very commonly unpaid in my country. So an 8 hour work day means being in the office for 8.5 hours.
The differences between California and Alabama are still an order of magnitude or more smaller than between e.g. Portugal and Latvia.
I moved to Tidal.
Popularity among 18 year olds of > 50%. Christ. A significant chunk of those will become long term users.
This is a huge one.
For decades I pronounced albeit like “al-bayt”, instead of “all-be-it”. I only ever saw it in writing, and never hears anyone say it. Meaning made also so much more sense when I finally heard it being said out loud. Eye opener.
For men: formal handshake. For women: anything goes. Between men and women: awkward figuring out what to do.
Location: Netherlands.
They could have made this subscription far easier and fairer if they wanted to. A service that simply buys a new cartridge once your existing one reaches a threshold (say 20% left) would be simple to implement, simple to understand and even be quite useful. Instead this Instant Ink thing is an abomination of multiple tiers and price gouging.
Advertisers, probably.
This does not entirely surprise me. When Tesla became well-known a significant fraction of taxi services in my country switched to Tesla. Why: a) it was cheaper to buy since subsidies for EVs, b) electricity being cheaper than fuel, and c) Tesla being perceived as luxury.
Within a couple years most taxi services had gone back to ICE cars. The Teslas had inferior build quality, and repair turnaround time was awful compared to regular ICE cars. This meant a large fraction of the Tesla fleet was idle as they were waiting to be repaired.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Hertz encountered the same. It’s not that EVs are bad. It’s that the largest supplier of EVs in the West, Tesla, is bad and slow to repair cars.
