Constant billboards ruins scenery.


Great, but they look terrible. I won't enjoy seeing these eyesores.


Agreed, they are profoundly ugly objects. Looks like someone manifested a 3-year-old's drawing of a milk float.

Surely we as a species still appreciate things looking _good_ as part of an objective goal?


surely that deters people from stealing them


I think they are cute little duck vans. Look at that duck bill. Quack!

I dunno, they make me smile because they are so ugly/goofy.


They also had a similar response to Telegram banning their bot: Each user gets their own personal Telegram bot.


> one should actively seek out things that matter

After reading the word "bullshit" about 10 times in 5 paragraphs, a beautiful piece of advice emerged.

The "bullshit" avoided in life should be replaced with something meaningful to you! At the end of the day, a proud man has the realities of his past: meaningful work done, love loved, and suffering bravely suffered. Replace the nonsense avoided with things that matter in a 1 to 1 ratio.


If you're saying blue light is actually a leading cause of eye strain, then how can you conclude that dark mode doesn't help with that? A large white background has significantly more blue light than a black or gray background. It is already known that dark text on a light background is easier to read in general, but with all the blue lights shining in your eyes it is certainly worth it to toggle dark mode throughout the day to let your eyes rest. The light text on a dark background should not be difficult to read if the environment outside the screen is bright enough. Your point about fine details becoming washed through dilation is true, but only relevant if you are reading in the dark. In which case turning on a light fixes that issue entirely.

Dark Mode _is_ good for your eyes, especially if you are feeling fatigued from reading so much text in light mode. Get a toggle dark mode reader for your browser! You don't have to choose one or* the other, but rather toggle as your eyes are feeling fatigued, or take a walk.


I think having a variety of shift options with research on all of them so people can make decisions for themselves would be a cool offering as a company. obviously many other things to consider.


I wonder if monetization was the only easy way to prevent abuse from the greedy hyper-thieves. Most people who used Z-Library weren't going to buy the books anyway. The library allowed the hungry to learn while giving the greedy some difficulty. I liked their system. I'm not proud to condone stealing but, in my opinion, people were only stealing from the greedy or the teachers at heart, and the teachers at heart would've given away some of their books for free anyway.


Interesting article. This seems like a normal experience for any regulated industry selling abroad. Maybe this is the writer's first professional working experience ever? Maybe I'm overly critical.
