- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 hours ago:
This is the entire foundational point Gabe made with steam.
Hell I still get a chuckle when people bitch able steam “drm”. Since it’s entirely optional and can literally be turned off by just adding a text file with the steam ID in basically every case. If it’s even there to begin with
99% of the time the “drm” people bitch about is just the steam overlay dll crashing if steam is off. Cause you know trying to load something that’s off doesn’t really work.
You can literally just remove a single dll from like 95% of steam games and you have an entirely “drm” free game.
Silksong is a great example with how popular it’s been Iv seen thousands of people bitching moaning and crying about how it has drm on steam when it for a fact doesn’t. It just has the single dll so it can use the overlay. Just deleting the dll so it doesn’t load up the overlay and ta-da its fucking drm free.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 hours ago:
Likely not, Amazon is a private market place and if their requirements to use it requires the drm his option is very likely use the drm or fuck off.
Not having good publicly controlled legal market places is one of the biggest failings of the internet.

Yep, I could pirate all my books and audio books if I wanted. All it would do is fuck over the author tho.
As much as I hate audible it’s the only legal choice I have for many of the books I listen to. Since basically every other legal option has out of the nearly 500 or so audio books I have less then 50 of them.
It’s annoying.

Really iiv never had to do that with any speaker iv ever owned. They always just reconnect when the lab becomes avaiable
- Comment on Indeed updated terms: Forced Arbitration & bundling of consent 1 day ago:
Binding arbitration tends to fail hilariously when it happens frequently enough to start costing more than just being sued which is weirdly common.
Just got to get enough people to force them into arbitration and just drain their money.

In this case everything costs 50 unless it costs 100! Ez pz
- Comment on Why isn't there a Megumin sub-"lemmy"... 😣 2 days ago:
Better fictional than real. Fuck sake, every time a professional psychiatrist or other professional in the field of studying behaviour. Speaks on the topic the same God damn point is made over and over and over.
Fictional characters reduce real harm. Give the freaks a safe space and moderate it properly and you are literally helping reduce actual harm.
Prohibition NEVER works. How many god damn times will people try to ban something only to find they have made the problem worse before they realize it doesn’t work.
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 2 days ago:
They are glorified toys to be blunt. Cellphones just require too much proprietary tech and licensing. Shits never goanna be viable as anything more than a hobbyist toy.
If you already use your phone as nothing more then a toy then it’s a easy switch. But most people don’t.

Because it’s a redditism and people are pissy about reddit.
This should be really obvious… Feels like you gotta be out of touch to have to ask that.

- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 6 days ago:
Allowing multi lingual communication for work purposes can also cause employee safety concerns and breed abusive work environments.
Sadly this very VERY much goes both ways.
It’s why context matters so very much.
Bunch of random super market employees? Doesn’t really fucking matter. Health care workers? Of fucking boy does it matter a LOT.

That feels like it butts it’s head against various other laws.
Triggering someone’s PTSD routinely could easily be considered an unsafe and abusive work environment.
And if the employee is aware they are triggering and then keep doing it. At that point it very well could be seen as malicious.
PTSD does not fuck around for many.

Outside of aero and financial where it’s not uncommon for this to use 20+ year old tech.
If something isn’t hyper critical 15 is way too long

5 years for basic and 10 for lts seems fine. 10 years is a fucking long ass time.
- Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 1 week ago:
50 dollar Thinkpad is in my closet to use razer drivers so I can edit the onboard memory of my mice once in a blue moon.
Since editing anything beyond the side buttons on Linux is literally impossible.
Finding a mouse with mouse wheel tilt, three side buttons and two extra top buttons that’s also fully mappable AND not some piece of actual fucking shit super light mouse is more or less impossible.
Fuck this trend of light ass mice.

My car has this on the dash. It’s super fucking annoying cause the glue that’s held it on has failed twice in a year.

- Comment on CATL says next-gen sodium-ion battery supports 500 km range, readies for 2026 mass production 1 week ago:
People understand time.
People have no fucking idea how much their crap uses. So giving the watthour is literally pointless.
It’s a nice statistic to have.
But for cars, giving a cars range in watthours is like saying the road trip is 8.3 gallons of gas.
JUST TELL ME HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET THERE OR HOW FAR IT IS.
