I have lost any and all respect for Elsevier in particular after that whole AI debacle.
It is astounding to me that this happened. A complete failure of peer review, of the editors, and OF COURSE of the authors. Just absolutely bonkers that this made it to publication. Completely clown shoes.
The key is to do it manually. Reject modernity. Embrace reinvention of not just the wheel.
Nah, the trick is to, at random, leave a package out of the text file so the system isn't truly managed and all is chaos!

For me, the gateway was via palm pilot careware. My dad had a PDA when I was a kid, and he let me learn how to program it. Then I learned that there were websites to download software for it, and some of that software was "careware", ie pay only if you're able. Something clicked in my head that I could both write and access software without cost being a barrier, and that got me reading about FLOSS philosophy as I entered high school and suddenly I was dual booting ubuntu on the intel iBook I had saved up for and then it was too late for me: FLOSS had me.
I wonder what was in the sky that someone didn't want seen. Or if people are just dicks.
