Same in Polish, iirc. Comes from German immigrants to Poland not being able to learn the language (es ist wirklich sau schwer nur ordentlich “Hallo” zu sagen!).

Check out Netguard. It’s an app that pretends to be a VPN client so most of your traffic has to go through it - and then you can deny/allow internet access per app. Even works without root.

I am so checking that out!

Yes. 1-5 are way better than 7 though, especially 2. But whatever.

Oh no, I hoped it was SamSho…

You could even incorporate the (route through the) city in the story…

Thanks, I will be looking into this!

Sorry, I might have misunderstood - I thought there would be some journals employing that “review to submit” system you mentioned.

It’s happening in Germany as well. Universities are banding together to negotiate better deals with publishers - some subscriptions haven’t been renewed when the publishers weren’t forthcoming. It’s not a solution (that would be the wide establishment of independent, self organized/hosted Open Access journals - using Open Journal Systems for example) but it’s a start.

Oh, could you share some links?

Don’t forget the university libraries. Yup, researchers are paid by the university, those researchers pay the publishers to place their articles, the peer reviewers are also paid by the university. And then the university has to shell out money to the publishers, so the articles can be accessed.

Came here to post this. It’s so evil, it even has ebooks meant for entertainment.

Never visit downmagaz either!

Loved both Olli Olli games on the Vita. Fun times.

Is it really dead? I used a mirror just yesterday…

I meant you’d have too many torrents (each consisting of 1 small file)…
