Original LibGen was still the best browsing experience and it's been down for months. If we lose this resource it would be truly a setback and grave loss.

Why does it show all red for all zlibs?

There is a big green box at the top of the page explaining that.

Hah. I wonder how someone could miss that, but it does kind of look like one of those “sign up for our newsletter” types of elements.

Maybe many of us are just subconsciously blocking those types of things out now because it’s so pervasive.

It's called "banner blindness."

I actually have "face blindness" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia )

Got it after a bad car accident, some brain damage. Interestingly it also made me race blind as well - I'm probably one of the few people in the world who can say that! I do identify loved ones from the sound of their voice, though, or if not speaking, I can sometimes tell from how they walk and move. Same thing races, it's not hard to tell if someone's voice sounds black or if they walk like a white guy

		How about beautiful vs ugly? What do you actually perceived when you look at a face if you don't mind me asking?
