Lots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you'd have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.

There's an author I've become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that's just where the masses are still and it's hard to break that momentum.

I already have a stack of Optiplex 30XX SFF PCs. It would be cheaper spending the $100-$200 for a high capacity HDDs TBH. And the idea is that I manage the content on it from my own 30tb store.

12-16tbs of TV and movies is kind of a lot lol.

I rearrange my icons all the time thinking "no this will be more efficient" and I just never really know where everything is.

unless you're a neo Nazi

I hate being torn between my hatred of tech monopolies and love of seeing Nazis get their shit rocked.

I wanna see the flight scene in one of those shops now where someone gets embroidered during the fight.

I also work with industrial embroidery machines (not directly, we just have them at work) so I know the like 10 seconds under a needle wouldn't be enough time to do anything really, but I'm imagining a room full of machines making military name strips, hero blocks a goons punch and shoves his hand under a needle while the goon yells in agony. Camera focuses on how horrified face as he lifts his hand to reveal "Maj. Payne" embroidered across his hand. The goon then faints.

I mean you can always use the web version of office for 'free" with a Microsoft account. There's a 100% chance your paper gets used to train AI but still

Most of the address and numbers they do have are off or old.

I moved through a lot of places in college and one of those 5 are usually what shows up.

Now that I think about it I did used to sign up for a bunch of religious mailing lists before I would leave an apartment because I thought it was funny.

Before ever game of classical chess I play over the board I coat my opponents pieces in DMT.

Eventually it gets absorbs through their skin and I can convince them it's all a nightmare that only ends if they resign.

I call it the MK Ultra gambit

I doubt it will be a meaningful change.

And I don't know how much I want to share a community with Pewds community. He had been pushing fascist ideas for a while. I have no clue honestly if he's gotten better, but those are my misgivings.

They didn't say they're poorly dressed. Just ugly

Yes! Gods damn it. I had that up an everything on my second monitor.

Texas wants what the EU and California have so bad.
