Can't thank libgen enough. Libgen exists to serve the original purpose of the Internet.
Sending military information?
Nah, that was ARPANET. The internet (www) was invented because particle physicists were too lazy to carry magnetic tapes with experimental data around CERN.
Thank god! I'm also too lazy to carry around my magnetic tapes. I'm glad that happened.
To be entirely clear, the Internet is also not the World Wide Web. Which is what I believe you and @bullshitter@lemmy.world are referring to.
