As mentioned, this is one of the reasons why Adobe DRM couldn't longer be used according to the interpretations of the EU directive, and why they "had to" remove the option to download the DRM-protected ePub file and move to an app instead where they could make text-to-speech work.
At least you could easily DeDRM ADE. This seems a lot trickier due to there not being one universal solution and it being in-app.
Exactly this.
Yep, but unfortunately app-only ebooks doesn't utilize Readium at all (I think). Then you'd have to decrypt books from a specific app which can vary greatly depending on country and/or provider.
Yeah but as I said, shadow libraries are usually very lacking in many smaller languages that are not English or Chinese for example.
That's why one should work in the same dept as the ones with the capability to check :p
Ouff great call! Then I'll just keep browsing on my phone.
I do a lot of personal surfing on my work computer... But in my country the employer isn't allowed to track what I do on the computer as long as I haven't committed a crime 🤷
The information superhighway as we called this thing way back when. Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, Gutenberg, free MOOCs, shadow libraries and what not are a godsend.
I'm not even convinced that Loops was a good idea to begin with. Yes, sure, always nice to have fediverse alternatives of mainstream apps, but short-form videos like those on Tiktok wouldn't have been successful if not for Tiktoks algorithm which is much, much better than even any of the competition. It's really good at discoverability and being addictive. And Loops doesn't have anything like this (and even if this is good depending on who you ask, it definitely doesn't give Loops an advantage). Who even is the target audience of Loops?

How's it going for centralized reddit-like platforms like Tildes, Discuit, Squabblr?

Creative anarchism in praxis: Stephane Wootha Richard released 90gb of his work into public domain as an act of resistance towards "this insane order of things."

He dropped 90gb of his artwork into public domain a couple years back, more information here. Everything's available on the Internet Archive.
For years you may have known me through a fictional entity called "Wootha". Today I have decided to destroy this entity. In this text, I will explain to you what motivated this decision. ..
I have decided to be radical in the face of what I believe is the most perilous situation humanity has ever known in at least twelve millennia and the Younger Dryas end. It seems to me that the ecosystem crisis we are experiencing, this terrible tierracide (a word invented by Glenn Albrecht to name the conscious murder of the Earth), can only be stopped by a profound change in our current civilizational paradigm.
I believe this change can only come about through creative destruction.
We spend our lives accumulating goods, experiences, memories, and recognition and convincing ourselves that we possess them, to nourish our sense of identity. We identify ourselves with all these possessions and believe that we are a sum that must constantly grow in order not to fall apart. ..
Our collective creative power can do more than the destructive creativity that resides within the α angle. We can bring to humanity imaginaries of a vast multitude of possible, desirable, and magnificent futures if we come out collectively.
To apply this philosophy to myself, I will once again indulge in the magic of creative destruction. "Wootha" is dead, but I'm still alive and well. I do not know how this creative force that inhabits me, just like each of us, will manifest. I believe it will take a very different form, rooted in local communities, the present actions, and a lot of friendship and solidarity.
