Anna’s library should also never be used

Wait, is that a libgen and scihub combo?

You’ll just have to find out

I always appreciated the professors that looked out for us and warned us of the places not to get any textbooks from, with links so we could recognize what to avoid, of course.

Then we'd get a professor that gave up doing anything and had us buy a $200, license (with a $200 textbook) to an online course that taught and graded his class.

Fun fact: you can email authors of papers and ask for a PDF. Authors don't get paid when you buy a paper (in fact it usually costs money to publish) and they'll generally be happy to send out their work to anyone interested.

I know someone who did that, got the paper and a whole load of infodump on the topic

Some people are extremely happy to share their obscure knowledge

Definitely don't use mobilism for a solid archive of epubs and audiobooks. It'd be awful if people had access to free and enriching entertainment

That and z-library. I hope people are careful to steer free from these sites/apps that work amazingly well.

The amount of money my wife and I saved earning our degrees with libgen is in the thousands

[-] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

You only needed two books for your degrees?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

This is what professors in school and universities say when you need to use specific book but even they know it's so damn expensive.

My biology professor said, this is the required textbook available from the college bookstore. And here's how the syllabus matches up with the OpenStax book

If you haven’t bailed from the platform completely you certainly shouldn’t join the facebook group “ask for pds from people with institutional access” either

It’s been there quite a long time:(

Fun fact, facebook was originally only for college students, requiring an email address that ended in ".edu"...

Then our parents showed up on facebook, and we noped out. Then facebook sold all of our parents' facebook data to Donald Trump. Then Donald Trump parroted our parents' facebook data back at them through Twitter. Then our parents' thought, "Hey he really gets us"....

We should not have noped out.

It's a Twitter not a cop I'll do what I want
