I suspect the real reason is those older Kindles allowed to remove the DRM from any media loaded onto them via Amazon. Because the decryption key is the serial number written on the back of the device.

If those devices are not supported anymore, they don't need to issue these easily breakable DRM protected ebooks anymore.

My apology if someone else wrote this before, or it's been mentioned somewhere already. Didn't read everything so far.

Gibt's schon einen Begriff dafür, Neurodivergenz als universelle Begründung für absolut alles vorzuschieben?

Nehmen wir jetzt alle Raucher aus der Pflicht zu Selbstverantwortung, weil unter ihnen auch neurodivergente sind?

Es ist und bleibt selbstverschuldetes Suchtverhalten. In Anbetracht des fast universellen Tabakwerbeverbots ist das auch ne echt steile These.

I'd rather say the same people who rejected cookies are also rejecting AI, no?

Was wir hier an Arbeitsverweigerung auf diesen Positionen sehen, ist ist meinen Augen eine Art Landesverrat.

"kostenlos als Kassenleistung"

Schön die Suchtis querfinanzieren.

Ich habe mal ausversehen einen Kasten alkoholfreies Bier gekauft, weil mir das rote "alkoholfrei" Label auf den Flaschenhälsen nicht aufgefallen ist. Das war tatsächlich ausversehen, aber auch einfach mein eigener Fehler.

The formerly richest man on the planet believes capitalism will pass the benefits of AI to all of us.

Ha ha

Conservative lawmakers are furious about everything. All the time. It's their trademark. If they weren't furious, they would be furious over not being furious.

Our conservatives, with the help of our so called social democrats, stopped almost all investments into infrastructure, housing, education, defense... basically everything, over the last 20 years. So now we have unaffordable housing, crumbling infrastructure, bad and expensive public transport and telecommunication, paired with sky high taxes and an overburdened and under-financed healthcare and retirement system. Income is taxed, wealth isn't. And because of demographics the only thing parties care about is raising retirement payments - adding fuel to the doomed system. The economy is slowing down, and nothing is done against it (tax cuts of course, and watering down the laws against tax evasion). The working class is disappearing because the only thing they ever can imagine is to raise taxes to finance these increasingly inefficient and unfair systems.

While some of their party members wasted literally billions of taxpayer money, they are now blaming some absolute minorities (unwilling unemployed, and foreigners of course), and try to squeeze money out of them.

They (Merz especially) have no plan for the country. . Like, at all. The only plan was to get into power.

Oh, and the Nazis are back, and our conservatives play "wait and see". Fucking happy times, everyone.

The claim to have "nothing to hide" was not just born our of ignorance, but also out of comfort - to not having to do anything about it.

Now that even the last one accepted that they do indeed have something to hide, but in order to justify their own inaction, it's labeled as inevitable: privacy is not real.

They are lying to themselves, because doing otherwise would mean they have to admit being wrong.

The same people couldn't wear a face mask to save the lives of their relatives.

Unfortunately the actual enjoyability of a job more often than not correlates with unfair or outright low pay :(
