Fuck! Thanks. Anyway my…ummm…friend can have his meta footprint deleted?

It costs time and money. The handful of times I published articles in an open access journal, I had to pay close to $5K USD per publication.

Theoretically, researchers can publish on Mastodon or something similar but that unfortunately won’t give us the reach we need. That might be fine with well established names, but for dumb-dumbs like myself who are still trying to make a name for ourselves in our field, we want the highest impact publisher we can find. Those typically come with a price tag.

Sometimes the grant also dictates acceptable publishers where you can submit your manuscript.

Sadly, it’s not as easy as it sounds.

I was a customer since 2017, cancelled my membership sometime towards the end of last year. Their service was great…when it worked. Over the past year, I have been having issues with connectivity, I know it was the VPN because connection was great once I disabled the tunnel. I have reached out to customer support a handful of times and they were VERY dismissive and rude.

That right there was the reason I cancelled my membership and switched to iVPN. So far, I have been happy over the switch.

How did you change the logo? I tried to do that on my instance and failed miserably. Running it through docker.

You may be able to reverse search the number and find out the provider then reach out to them and report him, hopefully that will hinder him from getting burner numbers easily.

This sort of exaggeration is typically used for comedic effect. Sorry for trying to throw a smile on a random person’s face. You must be very fun to hang around at parties.

I am running a portable LibreWolf on my work issued, locked-down-with-a-chastity-belt-and-thrown-the-keys-into-the-fires-of-Mount-Doom-in-Mordor laptop with uBlock extension installed.

Try that and see if it works.
