Bruno?

Lets see if Rumble learned from Twitter’s mistake… I doubt it, but I’m willing to be surprised.

The Kindle app needs to be a specific version, and sadly the one needed for MacOS to grab the by Calibre dedrm-able files from Kindle doesn’t work anymore.

Kobo, Barnes & Noble, ebooks.com

GetLibation.com to download and convert your Audible library

It’s not what happened when they removed 1984 off of people’s Kindles. I think somewhere in the fine print, they’ll probably have a clause that says they’re allowed to do that.

And 7 8 9.

I’ve bought myself a Boox Go Color 7. I love that one, even though it’s twice as expensive as a Kobo or Kindle.

No, the files are mostly owned by the publisher. That’s why you sometimes have stories where books disappear from Kindles because the rights holders revoke Amazon’s license to sell their books. It’s what happened with one version of Orwell’s 1984, ironically.

It’s ridiculous, if you ask me, but that’s the reality with Broken By Design DRM ebooks.

That’s why it’s prudent for any buyers of ebooks to download them as soon as you can, and put them in a library like “Calibre”, that way, even if Amazon loses their license to sell those publishers books, you still have access to the ebooks you bought with your money.
And that’s why it’s bad that Amazon is removing the option to download the files yourself. And why I recommend people to take their business and wallets elsewhere! Stop giving Bezos your money.

According to them you only have a license to those ebooks.

Or go for the Kobo, which is similarly priced as the Kindle. The Kobo Clara Colour is £150

I’m really glad that I downloaded my entire Kindle library a month ago, and converted it all to either CBZ or Epub.

Fuck Bezos.

One tip for the audiobook-fans: Download your Audible books while you still can. It’s only a matter of time before Bezos locks those downloads too. Libation will help liberate your library into DRM-free files.

I’m convinced that person is just an outrage troll at this point.

Look up intersex, look up people with XXY chromosomes. Gender is not binary.

What you call “wrong”, I would call “different”.

It’s not wrong to be gay, it’s not wrong to be trans, it’s not wrong to be ace.

It’s different to be gay, trans or ace.

To me that kind of logic doesn’t fly and is your statement one of ignorance.

For instance, I’m asexual, in that I’m really not interested in sex, nor in procreation. The whole idea of sex (and I have had sex in the past) makes me physically feel disgusting and disgusted. You would probably call that a mental disorder too then. But it isn’t.

It’s still just a part of the human experience. My brain is as biologically normal as yours. We all just experience the world in different ways.

Except, the DSM-5, the main authority on this, specifically says it’s not a mental disorder, just like how being gay isn’t a mental disorder anymore since DSM-4.

You can disagree, but that’s just as stupid as disagreeing with fire being hot. It’s just reality-denialism on your part.

That’s because they exist. Probably not aliens and such, but any object seen flying that’s not identified is a UFO.

I’ve heard quite a few flat earthers who claim that “they” are hiding god by hiding the true shape of the earth (according to the flat earthers obviously)

According to them the Bible tells them the world is flat and there’s a dome separating the waters above from the waters below.

I’m confused by your post.

1. theirs is a reaction to someone posting a cartoon as a comment.

2. they give a link to the original. (And before you say that that post had to have been edited to add the link, it would be marked as such, like this one, and it doesn’t show that the post is edited)

3. anyone can see those comments. It’s not limited to just the poster, unless you’re not on Lemmy, but instead are viewing this thread from someplace else in the fediverse, like Mastodon.
