I wasted a few seconds of my life looking at the posted image, without understanding shit. Can you explain me what the “joke” was supposed to mean, and why is it anti-Semitic, so that I can be aware of it next time I see something like that?

I’d suggest a raspberry pi. You can run lineageos on it without gapps, or libreelec if kodi is enough for you. This optio nis not only better than tv boxes for privacy, but is also much more durable, since you can usually install a newer android version later, while tv boxes rarely get updates.

Wait, wait, wait. Let’s not aim at the wrong thing. Programming becoming accessible is a great, and is not the cause of bloat. Bloat is not even something that can be easily pointed to a single cause, and a lot of things played a role, like poor tech education, companies not giving a fuck and relying on hardware replacement, lack of regulations, big tech corporations having practically monopolies and no incentive to create better products, the high demands of timing for projects, etc.

Thank you for the tip. In my case, I’m working with technology prospecting, and we use patents as a source of information on what kinds of new technologies to expect, what technologies are about to become public domain, etc. It’s not something that can violate any IP.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the recommendation. I didn’t know archive.org had this feature, and it seems to be focused on open databases, something that even scholar doesn’t do. It will help me a lot.

I used to have access to scopus and web of science from my university, but I don’t have anymore, so I ended up using scholar, but looking for alternatives.

Elicit looks interesting, but I see that it requires a login, and has a bit weird privacy policy. I will check it in more detail, thanks.

I tried it, but didn’t find a way to search for articles. it seems closer to zotero than scholar. Am I missing something?

Patents seems to be the hardest one to find alternatives. The thing with google patents is that it searches from multiple databases, from multiple countries, so we don’t need to look for each source.

What about a raspberry pi with lineageos as a tv box?
