That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

Oh yeah, I’m fine, the fish is still at large tho.

but she won’t be for long.

i will never be against piracy ever but i also need physical media to remain

I imagine you get this a lot, but how do you recreate the CRT TV cartoon look? It looks great!

lately i've been using ntscQT to add those types of visual effects! i highly recommend it, as it has different filters/adjustment options (the fx can also work on videos and GIFs)

ever since i heard about ntscQT tbh i dont really make my own crt tv effects within the art program anymore because i lack confidence with how it visually looks LOL

but to those that do prefer achieving a similar 2000s cartoon tv vhs overlay (what do u call this haha), you can use this as reference or to come up with your own process that works best for you:

conceptualizing a story about a school delinquent named Peachi-Keen who has to keep up a reputation as a Tough Guy while also trying to secretly grapple with the fact that he's a genius player at a game called "Cool Chess"

So guess who got an artfight

I know I don’t have much of a following on here, but to the people who care, I'm there!
