  So you have no idea what a supervisor does.

  I do and I bet you don’t since you draw conclusions based on nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky now platform of choice for science community⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course I don’t know, while you are an accomplished scientist with tons of papers under his belt. All disagreements here ends with one genius saying lol I know better.

  So people publish bullshit, use chatGPT, force their name on papers they haven’t contributed and so on.

  Assuming that you pass the peer review, then nobody will reference your paper in other papers. It will become obvious that your research is not interesting or that you are just slapping your name on papers as a supervisor.

  What are you talking about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky now platform of choice for science community⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even know what you are talking about, but I’m afraid that you are not well informed. Even as an undergraduate you get access to publications through your university.

  ArXiv is just a pre—print, and SciHub is a shadow library.

  If you want an academic career, have your discoveries recognised, and stay in funded research, you must publish on peer reviewed traditional channels. Like it or not.

  Of course you can still do research alone and publish on your website, but hardly anyone would take you seriously.

  I use both, but somehow I find more relevant content more easily on BlueSky. Plus, there’s the network effect: you go where everyone is.

  Why is all of scientific research locked behind paywalls

  Because to advance in your field you need to publish your research in peer reviewed publications and the publishers need to monetise the content to keep publishing.

  It sucks, it works.

  Using legit regular banks would be your best bet to avoid scams or being accused of fiscal crimes.

  It depends on where the billionaire’s and your bank account are located (some restrictions may apply), but a normal bank transfer works perfectly for any amount. Of course for large amounts it’s better to contact the banks first because it may reject a large deposit if it comes out of the blue.

  For donations there will be taxes and some bureaucracy, the anti money laundering will be triggered, but it’s nothing impossible to handle.

  Building a filesystem essentially means linking a directory of filenames to physical blocks and handling CRUD operations. It’s not that hard. The hard part comes when you go beyond the basics to build something efficient with useful features. For example, fast access, journaling and fragmentation are all challenging topics. You can try without messing with the kernel by creating an in-memory filesystem (essentially a block of RAM) and playing with the I/O.
