How would it be any better than library genesis, scihub, and annas-archive? Any book I want, I can read. And to be honest, if I like a book I always buy a physical copy, so these sites drive real sales from people like me, and for thieves, well they weren't going to pay anyway.
That said, given the availability of all the books, how does a freetard book collective benefit the reader? I can see how it might benefit the teacher if they want to copy/paste things into their lectures, but they usually don't need to do this.

Most of the stuff on libgen is already outdated. No one is going to read 20 year old math pdfs

New linear algebra 2.432 just dropped. Get with the times boomer.
Change list:
>We removed the notion of affine spaces, these were super problematic for POCs.
>Determinants are deprecated and to be considered considered fake and gay [Shout out to Axler for this contribution]
>Jordan normal form has been renamed to Air Jordan normal form [Thanks to our sponsor Nike!]
>Canonical Forms have been renamed Standard Forms [This contribution from a DEI grant recipient Shelly Shekelberg as part of her work to remove problematic and culturally inappropriate religious terminology]
We are also experimenting with alternatives to the + symbol, with ⊥ being the leading choice [Thanks again Shelly!]

So far it's doing good for me. There's no magic formula to learn math:
>Get a book
>Open it and study
>Do not skip the exercises
>If you don't get something, supplement with secondary sources (like videos on khan academy)
>if you can't stand writing on paper, get a cheap wacom tablet and a program like OpenBoard for exercises
>Get a calculator
Just stick with something instead of obsessing over which source is perfect.

Uff, that's a good point, but I would rather write it there where psychology learns about repolarization of synapse.

This looks pretty nigged. I'll stick to real diversity in reading Russian, German, French, British, American.... etc authors.

or you can not be a coward and laugh in their face when they give you trouble. complacent normalfags are 90% of the problem. make them fire you dipshits, don't try to preempt the humiliation by firing yourself.
