Well, as far as I'm concern, if they only provide content with DRM, then piracy is fair game. I pondered for a time if I should buy the content on abusive platforms and then download it illegally without DRMs, but I decided that respec

Do you know wikisource? [1] It contains hundreds of thousands of public domain books that you can read online or download. You can even download the whole collection as a zimfile [2], readable with kiwix [3]. Obviously all without DRM/

I entirely stopped using streaming services and now buy and download my music from Bandcamp, using webradios to discover new titles (my personal favorite is the webradio Nordic Lodge Copenhagen, SomaFM also has a lot of good thematic radio

Stripe actually did invest in Stellar [1], so they seem to be interested in cryptocurrencies. This blog post is from 2014, though. It would still be interesting to hear their up to date opinion. [1] https://stripe.com/blog&#

Yep, that's in line with what I was saying, except for the conclusion. Yes, I don't see either small teams keeping up with the amount of features we currently have (and security is a direct factor of the amount of features), but I

Webkit does still exist :) Also, Firefox being free software, we can expect forks to appear the very day Mozilla falls. I even wonder if having a swarm of small implementers wouldn't be better for the standards than having three big on

Not sure what you mean with external sources, but I have seen nothing but user generated content in there (but I haven't read all wikipedia articles, obviously). A few things to note, though: 1/ it's not pure text content, it

One thing I remember from those times : even knowing there was an encyclopedia on the school library computer, I would not use it, because it just sounded impractical. I would need to ask for permission to use the computer, then wait for it

Indeed, Kiwix is the proper solution for anyone who cares about knowledge access in places where internet connection is spotty. Given the file format it uses (zim) is compressed, and meant to be accessed compressed to pluck a specific artic

This is awesome! GM/DM are a rare resource, and as a forever-DM, I would love using such services to be actually able to play. One thing I think would be a cool addition : play by post games. I'm not a native speaker and I'm

This sounds like a great idea, and something I would have used if it worked with javascript disabled. If the owners are around : would you consider adding nojs support? I know it's an edge case request, sorry to be that guy. But then a

By the way, you can help rms by volunteering to maintain this website, if you wish too. It's basically about publishing his political notes, which means formatting them, uploading them and occasionally finding old references and link t
