I thought it was pretty obvious, since there is so little actual content in the post, but I guess you’re right. Thanks.

With whom did he share these documents?

It was wrong and it should be not wrong. Odd that that is a controversial statement and that you used Reddit-level reasoning about a dissertation when someone just wants others to not spread untruths.

He also was not sentenced. This post is misinformation.

I am genuinely disappointed that on an ostensibly science-related message board I see comments along the lines “this isn’t actually true, but it kinda-sorta is, therefore, inaccurate claims somehow aren’t misinformation”. If all kinds of counter-factual things were true, then all kinds of things would be true: what is the point of this hand-waving to defend something that is riddled with untruths? Also, with whom did he purportedly share these documents? In 22 words, this person got no fewer than two things wrong and you are carrying water for what reason?

So?

It is not true that he was sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR. It is true that he killed himself.

It makes two claims and he did commit suicide. Also, my keyboard is broken. :/

Please don’t spread misinformation.

Edit: Why is anyone downvoting this? The text is inaccurate and should not be posted.

No one said that it is all like that, but enough of /b/ is so gross as to taint the reputation of the entire site. Allowing some of the stuff that is on there is enough guilt by association, even if some of the other boards have better discourse.

There are already comments claiming this, thanks.

Except when it was on 4chan and it was actual Nazis just being Nazis. So no, not blatantly sarcasm.

I only know it as “I approve of this”, not “lol, I don’t approve of this, but I say I am to be hilarious”. This is the danger of adopting this Nazi Internetspeak to be funny.

There’s no reason to be rude. See Rule 1.

“Based”?

Admirable; praiseworthy, especially if the thing that is considered “praiseworthy” is unpopular or controversial.

Posted a listing of engineering video games.

No and it’s not worse service.

Probably not. Do games on the Epic Store cOSt TwIcE aS MucH? Do you routinely buy goods and services with irrelevant features to your needs?

Exactly. Not having an alternative marketplace–and no other one exists–is anti-customer and yet, you seem to have no problem with a Steam monopoly. Why?
