The problem with 'disconnecting' is that you run the very real risk of being fired and replaced by someone who disconnects less than you. Don't want to pickup your phone after hours at 11pm on a Friday? OK, that's your c

I don't think it's a bad thing at all to have another similar zine. For example, I miss the days when it wasn't just 2600, but we also had Blacklisted 411, THUD, etc.

> That may be true for open access publications, but traditional publishing (with Elsevier or others) is typically free of charge. Yes, and Elsevier has open access journals with APCs (article publishing costs).

A number of European universities have also cut ties with Elsevier - https://www.enago.com/academy/german-universities-cancel-els... .

What do you see as being the apparent misunderstanding?

by Ansil849 4y ago
I feel like there's some misunderstanding here. I am not at all advocating that the fact that objects had been stolen be suppressed. I'm advocating for the explicit opposite. What I am, however, saying, is that I find it odd that

The "moral crime" (a term the previous poster used, not me) is in knowingly patronizing something that houses stolen goods, not in whether you enjoyed them or not. 'Enjoyment' was just the example the previous poster use

> Is it a moral crime to simply appreciate a painting, even though it was stolen hundreds of years ago? Yes. Because your enjoyment deprives the ancestors of the people who actually created it. Try personalizing this to see if it resonat

It's interesting that you refer to the thieves as 'ancestors', but yet refer to those who were stolen from only in terms of "country", which then conveniently allows you to dismiss restitution based on a technicalit

Not committing theft, or returning shit you stole, is considered "woke" now?

by Ansil849 4y ago
It's a glib fact (and in fact, not even a fact as you by definition cannot assert something that didn't happen as a fact) that detracts from the theft. But sure, yes, if they had not been stolen, certain items may have been destro

It is the creator's right to dictate the original presentation, but it is not the creator's right to dictate a user's behavior. Just like it is a filmmaker's right to set the default framerate and playback speed for a fi
