That’d be an app feature would it not?

I don’t think that’s the argument you think it is.

The outrage is over the books being destructively scanned, en mass, and held in private after the fact. Very, very, very different than the majority of scanning which is non destructive, and usually shared.

every article I saw says the books were scheduled to be destroyed or taken to a dump

Do you have a source for this? Because I’ve seen literally nothing about this being the way books are being sourced. And no offense but this reads way too close to weasel words. For example: Every article I’ve read on the subject says my pants are sentient and enjoys my legs being in them. Also, I’ve read no articles on the subject so that isn’t a lie.

There are many, many non destructive scanning methods. My understanding is that most archival projects are using the non destructive options.

The easy option is to just slice off the binding and run it through a scanner.

The easy option is what is being talked about here, and those books are then fed into AI as training material. The digital copies aren’t “making knowledge permanent” as they are tucked away into a digital corner virtually no one has access to. They are as permanent as the source code for Fortnite.

If a PDF already exists, as you claim, then why go to the trouble of obtaining, destroying and scanning the books again?

So you have the digital source of literally any book? Literally any single book you yourself didn’t write or publish.

Because the source code for GTA6 exists, but you sure as shit don’t have it.

No, but potentially because that happened IRL to me.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

The first time was a lark. Anything after that though, yeah I agree 100%.

Nah, the DMCAs are legit, because the repos are sharing cryptographic keys.

I’ve not looked at the repos, but ideally they’d be secondary “we aren’t affiliated with the main repo *wink wink*” that can just be recreated while the main emulation repo is left alone.

I doubt that’s all of them though, but any of the ones that are both the emulator and keys in one was just waiting to be taken down. Terrible opsec.

What’s fun is if they twist things to the point that airports are a border.

This feels silly.

Is your solution for them to just never crosspost? So they pick one community and never share with anyone on an instance that is defederated?

If the problem is they are cross posting to similar communities you’re subscribed to, why not just… unsubscribe from the duplicate communities?

Damn, I like that. Got a link?

Wow they’ve got a lot of options, now I gotta decide which one I like best. X.x

This animation could’ve been an email.

Because you’re blocking a large chunk of the content.

Have you know da whey?

No, fraud would require both deception and some sort of monetary/property/right loss.

They reportedly identified as themselves, not the booker. And they didn’t deprive the booker of any of those things.

They’re just assholes, and un/fortunately for various reasons both ways, that is not illegal.

I think my overly ridiculous point should have been clear. Just because one person doesn’t want to buy something doesn’t mean it’s a dumb product. Change airplane to literally anything one person might want but another doesn’t. Are tampons a dumb product because men don’t use them? Are baseball caps dumb because I don’t use them?

Super glue? Or even Elmer’s might work.
