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.

Me reading the headline: who tf resurrected the cvs and made an android app for it

A software analogy:

Someone designs a compiler, makes it open source. Make an open runtime for it. ‘Obtain’ some source code with unclear license. Compiles it with the compiler and releases the compiled byte code that can run with the runtime on free OS. Do you call the program open source? Definitely it is more open than something that requires proprietary inside use only compiler and closed runtine and sometimes you can’t access even the binary; it runs on their servers. It depends on perspective.

ps: the compiler takes ages and costs mils in hardware.

edit: typo

which app is this?

yes, my mistake.

Holly shit, I didn’t know that interrobang symbol existed in utf-8.

Of course the part associating zodiac sign with personality or fate is clearly superstition.

Why is that a superstition? It is trivial to write a program to calculate corresponding zodiac sign of any particular date. It’s just a bad captcha and I don’t think most people remember/know enough to calculate in their head.
