In preparazione di un tutorial su come passare da #Windows a #Linux, eccovi una specie di #meme che mi sono divertito a fare con #Kdenlive. Attenzione: questo video contiene cose che lampeggiano forte e suono assordante!

⚠️ Beginning Feb 26, Amazon will block you from:

1) downloading ebooks to your computer

2) transferring books from computer to Kindle via USB

This is another reminder that you do not own your media when you buy through companies like Amazon.

Before the 26th:

Go to Accounts & Lists > Content Library > Books. Click More actions > Download & transfer via USB.

Anytime:

Migrate ASAP to a workflow where you control your media. https://calibre-ebook.com/ is a fantastic, open source place to start.

What do these all have in common?

Let's talk specifics. (1/2)

La pirateria non è solo un'infrazione delle leggi sul copyright: è una forma di disobbedienza civile contro il controllo monopolistico dell’industria culturale.

Da Gutenberg alle onde radio libere, dal peer-to-peer a Sci-Hub, la storia della diffusione della conoscenza e dell’accesso ai media è intrecciata a quella di chi sfida le restrizioni imposte dai grandi distributori.

#Firefox uno dei pochi browser web a dare agli utenti la libertà di continuare a utilizzare i componenti aggiuntivi Manifest V2.

Il supporto per MV2 è l'unico modo per procedere per i vecchi componenti aggiuntivi.

Manifest V3 (invece) è sviluppata da Google, impone restrizioni su determinati tipi di componenti aggiuntivi, come gli ad-blocker (es. uBlock) e possono renderli meno efficaci, privando gli utenti della scelta tra funzionalità e rischio. 🙏

When it comes to digital stuff, if you can’t

- download and store it
- DRM-free
- in a portable / open format
- with no phone-home check
- for entirely offline enjoyment

you’ve paid for an unstable rental of indeterminate duration, no matter how it was described to you.

Encourage more companies to GPL the source code of their classic games.



I like this.

In 2021, Mozilla had $593M USD in revenue. $510M USD of that revenue came from Google paying for search engine placement in Firefox. That’s 86% of their yearly revenue.

Google lost their recent anti-trust lawsuit, and the DOJ is exploring several absurdly complicated legal remedies. The simple remedy that would let everyone claim a quick victory and move on would be to ban Google from paying off potential competitors like Apple in the form of search engine placement.

If Mozilla’s continued actions seem irrational and against their core user base, it’s because they’ve got a sword of Damocles hanging over their head and are desperate to find alternative revenue streams for the vast majority of their income.
