I noticed that they disabled downloading on mobile as well, when I open a link from amazon to download the music I just bought they told me to download their stupid app and and export from that to my filesystem. After setting it up there wa

On the other hand, I dont think victim-blaming is an excuse for rampant and continuous ignorance either. At some point, after getting abused again and again, users are to blame. All this shouldn't suprise any of them, it's in the

As I replied to the sister comment, I might be biased because I love science fiction and most science fiction authors are probably somewhat aware what drm is and pick a publisher that fits them not only from a financial standpoint but also

I think all book I read in the last three years I bought without drm applied to the files. Most of them have some kind of invisible watermark I couldn't care less about that presumable helps the publisher track down who distributed a b

It's always a bit alienating to me when people suddenly wake up with their stuff taken away and are all like "how could this happen to me? why did noone warn me about this? how could amazon _do this to me_?" and then go off o

It's an easy solution for lazy developers. maintaining dependencies is a hassle, and with proprietary software users can't even do it themselfes if the developers decide that an 8 year old ssl lib is perfectly fine. The distributi

I remember there being a working implementation from chirp.io, with mobile apps and everything. They eventually axed it some years ago and tried selling some sdk to... people? Before getting bought by Sonos. I always missed their service be

I really want this to work, but every time I tried to actually use it the connection broke a few megabytes into the transfer process. When transferring larger files (>6Gb) it hogs all of my computers 16Gb memory, at which point the oom k

I don't think so. The company I work for is really focused on digital independence. Their core business is industrial electronic component design. The whole supporting office runs on libreoffice, thunderbird, mattermost and nextcloud,

Absolutely ridiculous. It's like we're taking a step back from the progressive, colour blind world we once strived for every day. How this blatantly sexist and racist piece of writing can be published without fatal backlash from e

I tried this for a while at work, but it gets old really quickly in my opinion. I'll try to sum up the reasons I find this unusable for longer than about fifteen minutes. My main complaints are that the sound effects are really not gre

Yes, I agree, open source software isn't free. Anyone can take it, close it off and steal the fruits of my work to do whatever with it. Calling it "free" devalues the projects and their maintainers by giving the impression th

My ancestors where slaves to the families who owned the land they lived on. We moved on. In fact, it's not unlikely your own ancestors where de-facto slaves as well. You can now decide to wallow in self pity or be above it and move on

I just said there is discrimination in the hiring world, where women and blacks are now objectively preferred by hq departments. This discrimination is backed by law. You may argue that this is fine because you think it's a good thing,
