Tohle je bohužel běžná praxe převzatá z byznysu s papírovými knihami. Tam se dokonce knihy fyzicky likvidují, když vyprší licence. Bohužel u e-knih neexistují antikvariáty, kde by si je člověk mohl legálně koupit i po ukončení prodeje.
K čemu je to dobré? Asi si vlastníci autorských práv myslí, že když to časově omezí jen na pár let, budou moct ta práva v budoucnu ještě několikrát prodat. Realita je ale spíš taková, že skončí licence a nad knihou se zavře voda.

@mwenisch Kdysi jsem si říkal, že by autorské právo mohlo obsahovat klauzuli, že když to dílo není k mání legálně, můžeš si pořídit kopii libovolným způsobem. Jinak mně přijde společensky trestuhodné, na kolika dílech někdo sedí a legálně si je nepřečteš / neprohlídneš / neposlechneš. (Ale jasně, jsou tu knihovny, kina, …)

in reply to Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

Hi,
It seems then 12. 1 as well as the latest beta version on Android cannot anymore fetch other messages than those messages in the inbox folder.
I recreated my accounts by importing my the parameters from the PC version of thunderbird that works fine, but I cannot see any message present in the Sent folder or any other folder, except the inbox folder. My mail provider is laposte.net. everything was working fine with the previous versions
Same pb occurs with the latest k9-mail appli

Well done Channel 4. Now do Farage..

"More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”.

Warum sind so viele wissenschaftliche Paper voller Fußnoten¹?

Na, ich habe das jetzt endlich rausgefunden: Die Artikel haben oft ein Seitenlimit, sagen wir mal 10 Seiten. Gesetzt wird mit dem Zeichensatz, den die Zeitung vorgibt. In der Regel muss man aber in einem Artikel so viel erklären, dass es nicht in die 10 Seiten passt. Also, was tun?

Footnotes come to rescue! Die sind in einem kleineren Zeichensatz mit kleinerem Zeilenabstand gesetzt. Also passt da maximal doppelt so viel Text auf eine Seite.

¹) Obwohl der Text in der Fußnote für das Verständnis nicht optional ist, sondern elementar wichtig!

I now have the phone in my hands. UPS came earlier than I thought it would. I plugged it into a USB C adapter just to make sure of the battery, but cannot get siri to turn voiceover on so I can begin setting up the phone. Help? BTW, I noticed that there are 3 buttons on one side and one on the other. I know that 2 of them are the volume up and down buttons, but which is the power button and what is that other button for?

Why Americans Don't Walk To School - youtube.com/watch?v=lShDhGn5e5…

this neighborhood he filmed looks so much like America-as-I-know-her that it hurts. When I was a child, I lived in a housing development, a separate loop from the main road, nothing but houses on both sides for the whole loop. Sounds safe for kids, right? I was utterly forbidden from crossing the street ever, for any reason. In the three years I lived there, two children I knew were flattened by cars. One was in a wheelchair for years, the other had permanent brain damage. And we were lucky to have a sidewalk the whole length of the loop - which would quickly disappear beyond its edge; walking anywhere else was impossible, it was an island in a sea of high-speed roads.

The next development we lived in, the school had a street-by-street map of who was and wasn't allowed to walk to school. It was in theory a 15 minute walk, but we were forbidden because 10 of that would be on a highway with absolutely no accommodations for walking alongside it. There was a secret path through the woods that some kids used. There was a shopping center about as far in the other direction with, again, absolutely no way to walk there (and no busses). I grew up trapped in lonely fortresses in a sea of concrete, and I am still not used to the freedom I have in Europe to just... go places and do things.

Me colleague Alberto García recently presented Dirlock, a new tool written in Rust to manage disk encryption at the Open Source Summit.

This tool was written specifically for SteamOS, but other users might also be interested in it.

The talk is now published, and if you are interested you can check it out: youtube.com/watch?v=q4eDG80GJQ…

With a few months having gone by since I last checked, I figured I'd do an update on who's currently using post-quantum cryptography on the web. In brief, about 39% of the top 100K domains now offer X25519MLKEM768 (up from about 28% in March). This is primarily the addition of Amazon Cloudfront (the only service to also offer SecP256r1MLKEM768) and Fastly, since Akamai is still opt-in. But we also note Facebook having started to support #PQC.

Feels like it should be an easy choice?

Billionaire wealth is not an accident — it’s built on exploitation, colonial extraction, and climate destruction.

Tax their wealth, dismantle their power, and put people and planet first.

In den News werden die Angriffe auf die #Vuelta häufig als "pro-palästinensisch" bezeichnet. Das ist verharmlosend. Wer Israelis oder Juden oder auch andere Sportler schon alleine wegen ihrer Team-, Staats- oder Religionszugehörigkeit für den Gaza-Krieg verantwortlich macht, handelt und denkt antisemitisch. Wer solche Demonstrationen nicht verlässt, ist Antisemit. Punkt.

15 septembre 1890 : Naissance de la femme de lettres britannique Agatha Christie.
Surnommée « la reine du crime », elle fait partie des écrivaines les plus connues au monde et est de très loin l'auteure la plus traduite dans le monde 📚. #CeJourLà

I read the latest #Apple event news with extreme, well, just boredom. Partially because I kept thinking, where's the small phone? I don't need a giant screen. Give me a small phone, a phone that will actually fit in my tiny pocket. I'm blind. I don't need a large screen. I am somewhat excited for the update today though. I might just send in my old SE for a battery replacement and a possible screen repair and call it another 5 years.

Evaluating EU based email services, and everyone seems to flaws. @startmail has no calendar, @soverin has no ability to try it without fully committing your domain, @mailbox_org gives an error when I try and register, and has no support contact for non customers, @posteo.de doesn’t allow you to use your own domain, and of course @Tutanota is locked in e2ee service meaning I am forced to use their app (same with Proton).

I sort of thought this would be easier.

To publish apps on Google Play without revealing your personal details, you need to set up a shell company. If you don't, your app will get delisted:

Vernünftige #ActivityPub Integration für media.ccc.de wäre doch auch mal was.
Es wäre ziemlich cool wenn es sich im Grunde wie ein #PeerTube verhalten würde, so das man einzelnen Channels (Veranstaltungen) oder der ganzen Plattform folgen kann und einzelne Videos direkt boosten kann.
Von der Architektur her macht es wahrscheinlich keinen Sinn auf #PeerTube zu wechseln. Aber das Interface zum Fediverse zu emulieren wäre cool.
