Liberal values can't be preserved in the midst of a Pharaonic distribution of wealth. The only way to defend liberal values is to fight for socialism.

I love desktop linux. I've used it on and off since 2000. Even with Valve's excellent work on gaming, there's still whole software categories that require Windows. Pro audio software is very Windows reliant and I don't see it changing. If you're a software developer, there are many benefits to using and deeply learning linux. But even as a linux super-geek, I don't expect to ditch Windows entirely any time soon.

I love my Libra 2 reader, but I only use it to read epub files from questionable websites. I would pay for books if they were available as DRM-free epubs.

The only previous option was not paying for books. This change at least creates the potential for a path to pay for books, if publishers accept it.

This is a step in the right direction. Now publishers need to take it up.

DRM-free is a precondition for me buying digital books personally. Practically no major digital bookstore offers it.

The ability to sideload on Android is the main reason I've never bought an iPhone. This is a terrible move from Google.

It is alarming for credit card companies to take on a politically censorious role that supersedes legal activity. This really kicked off in 2021 when MasterCard started imposing restrictive rules on sex sites like OnlyFans. The ACLU has a campaign against it: https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/how-mastercards-new-p...

This headline is a lie. It's not a matter of being "too expensive for customers", it's a matter of undesirable profit margin for the company.
