New ToS gives permission for it to track citizenship status, religious beliefs, mental health diagnosis, sexual orientation and if you're trans.
It's a surveillance tool. Get rid of it.

Hi Steven, I'm physically fine, internet blackout past almost two weeks, more than 20,000 innocent people have died in the recent protest by the Islamic Republic. Please be the voice of Iranians.
@tritol128 Tohle je bohužel hodně vzdálené realitě. Ta je taková, že podíl eknih na celkových tržbách je v Evropě 13 %, český trh je konzervativnější, u nás je ten podíl údajně jen 10 %. A poslední roky už ten podíl ani neroste.
To si myslím, že je další důvod vyšší ceny eknih, než bychom si přáli: i s nimi je spojená nějaká příprava, což jsou fixní náklady, které se při desetinových prodejích rozpouští v nákladech na kus poněkud hůře.

@sesivany @tritol128 Tak když se nevyužívají dvě hlavní výhody e-knih, tak se e-knihy hůře prosadí.
1) Jednoduché aktualizace a opravy chyb ve vydaných e-knihách.
2) E-knihy lze prodávat do nekonečna, což se nevyužívá, protože licence jsou časově omezené jako u tištěných knih. Pak se stane, že ze série jsou dostupné třeba jen poslední tři knihy… To pak nemá cenu tu sérii ani kupovat 🤷♂️
Chocochili pyytää apuamme:
”Sivuston pyörittämiseen kuuluvat palvelinmaksut tulevat kalliiksi näillä lukijamäärillä ja tietysti reseptien kehittelyyn kuluu paljon rahaa. Tähän asti olen saanut sivuston pyörimään mainosrahoitteisesti sponsoroiduilla sisällöillä, mutta viime vuosina mainostajat eivät ole olleet kiinnostuneita nettisivujen mainossisällöistä ja talouden kiristyessä myös somessa yhteistyökumppaneiden löytäminen on ollut koko ajan vaikeampaa.”

Consider, if the USA had turned the internet off for a few weeks ....
Am I being entirely fanciful?
I propose we put a 100% on American software and SaaS.
Your Adobe cloud ? 100% tariff. Your Copilot 365 ? 100% tariff. Your Windows license ? 100% tariff. Your Apple Studio license or subscription ? 100% tariff.
And so on.
But there is an easier way. @pluralistic has the gist of it.
Repeal the portion of Harper's C-11 where DRM override Canadian rights. Make repairing things legal. Also cancel the copyright extension.
Put back the DST (but the banker would never dare to do so) to encompass these "rental services" mentionned above. Tax Uber, Lyft and other "gig economy". You should be able to reconcile that from the tax information and send them the bill.
Sadly all of these require courage.
@pluralistic Easier, more effective, and better targeted, honestly.
You know what happens if you tarrif our stuf? Your people hurt.
You know what happens if you drop DRM protections and our IP law? One of your people makes a knockoff version of our stuff, and OUR companies hurt.
The thing about saying on the Fediverse what our politicians should do is that we know they won't even hear it as we are not the CSAM generator and nazi bar they cherish so much.
Someone might know of a way to do this, perhaps it already exists or I might need to have it coded.

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China'
cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tar…
Please. Put these tariffs on auto parts for US cars. On wood product and lumber. On dirty oil. How about on electricity.
RE: mastodon.social/@randahl/11594…
I want to pitch in on what @randahl said in the attached post.
During my youth I was raised on a diet of U.S. culture: the Ponderosa Ranch felt as familiar as the bridge of the USS Enterprise.The good night to John boy was often also the signal for me that I had to go to bed now. From the moment I earned my own money, I started spending as many vacations in the United States as my budget allowed.
Most of the books I have read and I am reading have been written by U.S. authors. Most of the movies and TV series I see were made by Hollywood companies. A significant part of my verbal and written output is in a language different from my mother tongue.
Today I would say that my command of the English language, my knowledge of U.S. history and culture easily surpasses that of the current commander in chief.
But other than with Randahl, the cracks in the relationship started to show much earlier. When I came to the U.S. in October 2001, it felt like a different country. I no longer felt welcome and therefore no longer came visiting.
A friend of mine, who was working in the U.S. at that time and who was on his way to earning a U.S. citizenship was told by a border agent: "Shut up little shit, I can do with you whatever I want." His sin was to point out the regulations my friend knew much better than that agent. He terminated his job at the next occasion.
There were many such moments and every time, another fatigue fracture in my relationship to the United States appeared.
Trump is for me just the nail in the coffin. It is very big and tough nail, because he was elected a second time. Everyone knew what kind of man they elected. And they chose to do so nonetheless. I cannot and will not forget that.
I see the protests, I hear the voices of dissent but I also see the big passive masses, that accept what is happening. It is the same kind of silence my ancestors emitted when Hitler started his run.
Yes, I still have a lot of friends and other people in the U.S. I feel attached to and care a lot about. But for the country as a hole, I no longer give a damn fuck.
In my job "Pacta sunt servanda" is a very important phrase. I cannot do my work without trust.
I am convinced that the current U.S. will not abide any contract, any agreement, any promise if the big orange baby doesn't see a personal advantage in it. And I cannot have a relationship with someone I do not respect and trust.
It's as simple as that.
I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.

Oh great, it had been a few weeks since the latest threats

"China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life," Trump said.
@hub the US gov't + the Big Three automakers are already doing a great job of wrecking themselves too, even before any additional tariffs. this writeup talks about how Ford & GM could end up producing only pickups and SUVs for the US market, while the rest of the world moves on

If you think Hollywood has always been the bastion of free speech, defending, I have a bridge to sell you.
Notably read about the "Hayes Code" established by a Republican Chairman of the now MPA.
Or the Hollywood "blacklist" (that's how it was called) banning suspected communist writer, directors, actors, from being hired. "Cancelling" was already happening.
When Replicans complain about cancelling, remember it always points back to them.
Dass unsere Politiker immer noch munter auf der CSAM- und NCII-Plattform X unterwegs sind, lässt mich vermuten, dass CSAM als Begründung für die Chatkontrolle eventuell nur vorgeschoben war.
