[07:44:03] hello [07:44:41] anybody here? [09:14:52] what a typical IRC dialogue :) [09:18:20] Anon7413: hello [09:24:10] they have left over an hour ago (unless they are checking the channel logs) [09:43:57] Oh didn't see that they left... [11:50:15] hi [11:50:21] can I get ISO/IEC 21838-1 and ISO/IEC 21838-2 somewhere [11:50:26] without paying for it [11:50:32] like drafts or something [12:30:21] Once people have finished burning down their countries we should seriously reconisder copyright somehow [12:30:23] dunno how [12:30:55] maybe we need to rework the library model for the 21st century [12:31:23] I can be part of a library, pay dues (possibly via taxes) - and then they buy books [12:31:29] and I can download them [12:31:43] so basically like libgen but there is some funding [12:31:52] hard problem is, how to know what books to buy [12:32:12] but the current approach is stupid and really dampens progress I would say [12:32:27] like I could technically go to library and get a book instead of using libgen [12:32:37] but why would I go to the efford [12:32:42] it is dumb [12:32:49] burn that [12:33:18] I would like a more centralised ebook library. why would I pay 15 or 30 euros or however much it is to join the local library just to access a couple of thousand of books which doesn't include the ones I actually want :/ [12:33:40] yes [12:33:54] I also looked into physical interlibrary loans but that costs money regardless of whether they can get hold of it or not, in which case I might as well just buy the book myself [13:36:10] :/
