Wow. Yes, this looks spot on thanks! Warning, Whenever I find cool services like this it seems like they tend to go under within a year or two, so apologies in advance.
Menedely hold out here myself! Tried switching to endnote because mendeley is for all practical purposes abandonware now but the conversion is very painful with loss of a lot of data - notes, organizational structure etc.
Still using the old desktop app nearly daily. If it was still a living project, integrating something like this into mendeley would be incredible.
Why a bad idea? Why an odd idea? It's a powerful computer with a decent size monitor in a place where sometimes people have to sit and wait.
What am I missing because seems like a logical / good idea to me?
Agree better laws are needed for this, but ultimately there is plenty of room for free content with ads - you aren't remembering that there was good information, entertainment, and even services before the ad drivem corporate internet took over. Some things of value maybe shouldnt be free / could be better if they weren't. I'm not sure where the happy medium lies, but it has gone far too far in one direction and complacency feeds the fire.
"We've become scared of being tracked by corporations, but for what reason?"
The line between corporations and government is increasingly blurring. The amount and types of data and the ease and lack of any restrictions on the data corporations collect. To make a statement like this in the wake of project Nimbus is an indicator of naivety permissible to you by a fortunate and comfortable life. Situations within this world can turn on a dime ; I emplore you to think of the worst case scenarios with corporate data sharing if not for the future well being of yourself, than at least to minimize the support of these practices which are currently and will continue to negatively affect others. What was once considered fringe paranoia with use of these "free" services is now clear and present danger.
Will be interesting to see if they stoop so low as to allow this. Probably wouldn't be a super wise move as most deleted posts are likely material that would not be great to train on anyway.
My first thought when I read this was, "well, not on MY posts" I'm clean off of reddit.
Well I wasn't all that worried about this until now! Thanks for unlocking new anxiety. My prints run through the night in the basement. Does this happen often with modern printers?
