God the future is depressing

Japan has always had some of the most aggressive copywriting laws. It’s why there is very little archival or preservation efforts there.

For me if it is not possible to scan something non-destructively then it is acceptable to destroy one copy to share with many. It is not acceptable to destroy a book for non-preservation purposes.

Also they are probably destroying many copies of the same books over and over.

The call out to TMZ was depressing. I have no idea how we are supposed to dig out of this whole. Electing capable people is like step 1 of 100.

Use emby bro, it doesn’t force a fascist folder hierchy on you.

Rimu is GOAT.

I wasn’t implying to accept it. I would say actively resisting it, complaining to the companies that utilize it, elect reps that will implement useful regulations is better. To just hide in a corner of the Internet doesn’t accomplish much though.

I’m not sure this is the right mindset to have. Sure you can isolate yourself for a while but at some point your bank will use this shit. Your doctor will send you a message via their orgs website. Your grocery store will charge you obscene prices if you don’t use their app. The Internet has not been an optional utility for many years now.

I still use RIF. Doesn’t work very often but I don’t read reddit that often.

Interesting how giant stupid trucks attract douchebags world wide.

It’s really bad when you start to see how many bots and astroturfing there is. Accounts with thousands of posts a year stirring up shit in all the contentious threads.

I mean ebay is ok but I do miss things like half.com. Is this the enshitificarion of eBay now?

Had a doc that was chronically late. One day he shows up after the nurse had us sit in the room for about 40 mins and during the appointment all this water comes out of his nose. Said he likes to go for a swim during his lunch break.

Super? Nah, just villain.

I just checked and it looked normal on my end as well.

That’s a small point. The larger point is people’s lifestyles. While there may be a small subset of the population that is especially sensitive to blue light for most people it comes down to your lifestyle and how and when you are exposed to light. More blue light, specifically sunlight earlier in the day is better. As evening approaches dial back your exposure to blue light. Same with the content you consume. Read the social media and bad news in the morning, less in the evening.

I use cheap 10 dollar Pioneer buds. They sit in my ear better than more expensive models.

Its crazy how well the foot in the door technique works.

I use YACLibrary and YACReader

Similar but yes
