Noluris··on The Sci-Hub Effect: Sci-Hub downloads lead to more article citations
I think the title they chose is just misleading (wrong?). Otherwise, their conclusion is

> we found that articles downloaded from Sci-hub were cited 1.72 times more than papers not downloaded from Sci-hub and that the number of downloads from Sci-hub was a robust predictor of future citations

> The results suggest that limited access to publications may limit some scientific research from achieving its full impact.

Noluris··on System Hardening in Android 11
Scoped storage is going to kill all the most useful apps that I use that require full access to storage (such as SyncThing). I'm going to keep using Android 10 until I die. Or just switch to Apple, since if they're going to lock everything down, I might as well go with the company that supports their phones longer than two years.
