A lot of things happen after you die. And if you participate actively (both positively and negatively) then some of that have your contribution and thus you leave a legacy.

everything else is just random chance.

nope, then you’d see some of same species showing the behaviour, others not.

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.

Interesting

This, also publish subscriber only and secretly upload to sci-hub

The buttons are intended to be placebo except in some places.

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

It is useful for internet streams though, not really for local or lan video.

Yes, except container devel (need to use ssh).

Any tech college kid can write an app in common frameworks. I’ll admit llm code generators are great when they can translate electron apps to say tauri or even better to QT at reasonable cost :)

Gives eating ass a new meaning. New kink drops,

Don’t give them idea :)

Yes that’s indeed a possibility.

That’s done locally. You can try training wake word models for any open assistant and see how much computing power it needs for even simple phrase.

It’s well possible and previously tv mic had been used as bugging device. The problem is, way too many security researchers look in system level software of iOS and even other components of the device that such practice will be too risky for apple (same applies for mainstream android products). Also processing realtime audio, finding potentially unrealiable topic from it and doing realtime ad is actually too much work as of today’s tech (might change sooner than you think though).

What, I think, is more practical is to use the whole query after the wake word to show ad, and potentially use other app tracking data, which is way much reliable than voice for targeting purpose. Voice data is useful for bugging purpose, primarily (ab)used by nation states and LE.

I bet in the medical procedure case mentioned in the blog the user searched/talked about that in other apps and average people aren’t good to notice these privacy leaks.
