  If you mean Sci-hub, then yeah that’s completely normal. I’ve used Sci-hub to access my own article once when I had lost access to the published version.

    I’d rather use sci-hub than institutional access when the article is available. Fuck publishers.

    Really hope someone comes up, recognizes how much public research money is wasted on this bullshit and sets up a public publisher directly funded by research funds which allows people to publish and read freely.

      It’s also insanely efficient to post the link in the search and immediately have the paper.

        Yes, much better than the alternative system. Look, I found a cool article about a topic. Let’s open it on the publisher website. Oh I need access for this, let’s login. After login I still have no access and get redirected to institutional login. Get back to publisher, now I have institutional credentials, but need to login again. Finally done!

        Your institution does not have access to this paper.

  “the dark web” is police fascist fearmongering for tech that lets people access the internet from censored countries

    The dark web is a specific section of the *deep web that can be accessed only using specific software configurations or authorizations

    The name make sense because it’s in fact hidden, dark and makes quite a bit of sense, the problem is that dark things do make people quite a bit scared and that was then weaponized

    And i say that because i don’t want to go against whatever you said but to expand on the (in my opinion, too) simplistic view you shared

    *the deep web is that huge chunk of the internet that is not indexed by any search engine

      Thanks for the correction! I meant deep web but got the both mixed up.

      there are onion search engines and directories, and “the dark web” refers to ANY onion site

        I am sure i need to use the TOR network to use an onion search engine
