Thanks. I used mojeek a few years ago and was not satisfied, maybe it’s time to give it another go
If you have trouble finding a functioning mirror for the crow, you can get scihub links also from Library Genesis and Anna’s Archive
Yep, there’s a ton of great Foss projects that have a shitty logo. Look at Octave, looks like something 10yo me made in MS paint in 5 min
As far as I know Telegram is the only one with piracy-oriented channels. Maybe we could start one on Signal
One that hasn’t been named yet is SolveSpace. There is also CAD sketcher, a free CAD add-on for Blender
I worked in academia for 10 years. I do not recommend it.
The marvels of intellectual property
Nice. I dunno if there even is such a thing as trackers for STL files, I do know some places where you can find files from specific topics like warhammer minis and so on; but other than that I wouldn’t know where to find such a thing
What are you looking for specifically?
Generally speaking, I am attracted to things that are non-conforming/taboo
they can be confident in their social power and openly admit that they don’t know. However, you’ll really only see this with high ranking people that have security in their social rank (e.g. executives, famous professors, etc.) , those that are so low in their rank that not knowing isn’t going to affect them, or people that are visiting temporarily so their long-term position doesn’t matter or they have an excuse to not know.
I very much agree with everything you said, except for the above sentence. Being high ranking in a formal institution doesn’t automatically translate to being high social status and it certainly doesn’t translate to being confident.
Many people in high ranking positions are extremely insecure and will cling to their position in a desperate attempt to increase their status. Being ignorant may not affect a high ranker position but it will affect their status (especially if the ignorance is displayed in a social setting). Because of this, how a person respond will be heavily affected by the status of the asker.
I mean home manufacturing is cool and all, but in the short term open source hardware has the potential to create a lot more competition in traditional manufacturing.

open source hardware has a lot of potential
Tesla can “claim” whatever they want. At this point, I’m not sure I’d believe it even if I saw it
