I assume the #kindle shutdown is because old kindles can be used to bypass drm or something, in which case amazon is tacitly agreeing to https://xkcd.com/488/

Just a reminder that you can jailbreak your Kindle which also means you are not restrictive to Amazon's DRM nonsense as well.

(6) you try to open the epub in Calibre. It gives you an error, because the epub is in fact encrypted.

(7) you ponder reading it in ugly adobe editions, but you're committed now. Onwards, through the fog!

In order to read it in calibre you need to remove the security of the book. In order to do that you need to install a plugin into calibre.
(8) after installing the slightly finicky plugin, finally it works and you can now actually view the epub in calibre.
(9) If you want to copy it to your hardware ereader of choice, you need to save a copy of the epub, finally without the drm, and then you can put it on your ereader.
(10) realize it's now 3am and cry yourself to sleep.

No one should have to go through this shit. 3/3

Oh yay, I get a digital copy of this movie with the disc!

...no I don't. DRMed to hell, and the "player" is Windows. Fucking pricks.

“If you attempt to take a screenshot of Signal Desktop when screen security is enabled, nothing will appear. This limitation can be frustrating, but it might look familiar to you if you’ve ever had the audacity to try and take a screenshot of a movie or TV show on Windows.”

By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall

Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...

Das müsste alles nicht sein.
Das ist #DRM.

Wesensmerkmal von allem Digitalen ist Kopierbarkeit. Es wird ein riesenaufwand dazu betrieben, dieses Ureigenschaft von Digitalen zu unterbinden.

Similar bullshit with Assassin's Creed Shadows, because of DRM reasons

https://www.doesitplay.org/game/Assassin%27s%20Creed%20Shadows/ps5/Base%20PS5?region=All%20regions&version=Standard

Fuck DRM!

Assassin's Creed Shadows (PS5) - Base PS5 (All regions - Standard)

The game won't let you play until you download a mandatory update. During a period prior to release, people were able to access the disc build after a brief online check-in. This DRM has now been expanded by the required download.
