Do you go to the cloud district often? Oh what am I talking about, of course you don't!

If you look at a map of China and the Pacific you can see that the "first island chain" of US allies totally surrounds China. From their military and strategic point of view they are being contained.

Now if China were to control the island of Taiwan they would break that containment. It's very likely they care more about the strategic position rather than whatever it is they say about wanting to reunite with the Taiwanese. They don't give a shit about the Taiwanese, they just want the island.

It's absolutely insanity that this feature was removed. I stopped using Nautilus because of this.

Both are amazing RPGs. Highly recommend checking them out.

Kobo with KOreader is a great option. KOreader can connect to your WiFi and you can rsync your library to the device.

LiDAR, radar and infra-red may still perform worse on children due to children being smaller and therefore there would be fewer contact points from the LiDAR reflection.

I work in a self driving R&D lab.

Apple has a long history of never standing up to Chinese and Russian state demands. Not surprised seeing them giving in to Putin's censorship.

I think most people have given up and use subtitles on all the time.

Orwell's axe to grind was literal Soviet communism. He came into close contact with them in the Spanish civil war.

Use an adblocker. Unless, you mean people go on the internet without using protection?

Clearly not, or it would have caught on by now. I've been using Linux for almost 20 years now, I've tried open hardware phones and e-readers. Not bragging, just saying I would be the target demographic here, but I've never even heard of a serious open hardware printer effort.

Imagine going on the piracy Lemmy community and preaching the moral wrongs of copying.

Seriously though, DRM is a cancer. I usually pirate my books from LibGen, but I buy them on the Kobo store at the same time to support the author. It's easy to strip DRM from Kobo and they're better than Amazon, but I would really prefer not to support a store with DRM in the first place.

Can anyone recommend a DRM-less store? Something akin to GOG for books.
