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.

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.

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.

Ubisoft should get comfortable with not owning my money.

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.

For a certain group of people, science and life have gotten too complicated, and they want to feel special with special knowledge (often coupled with a distorted god belief), so they fall in the conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

And flat earth is actually one of the more dangerous conspiracy theories too, according to this chart, as it is usually not the only conspiracy these people believe in.

My North-East facing balcony doesn’t get enough sun light. But it’s an interesting idea.

Any Available Space storage area. The only issue is “When will we play them”

Last week I was on holiday and had brought with me a few smaller games. played 2 of them, one of them we really didn’t like (Qwirkle Cards). So that wasn’t great. :-/ (I have good games in my collection, I had just grabbed a few of the new games that I thought would be fun to play)

5 cents, because the bat costs 1 dollar and 5 cents.

I guess that house wasn’t abandoned

It’s the Rabbit of Caerbannog!
