Flashback to this blog post from former campaigns intern Leonardo Vignini intern which details the history of #DRM: where did Digital Restrictions Management start, how did it get this bad, and what can we do about it? https://u.fsf.org/34g #DefectiveByDesign #EndDRM

@kassander @frumble ja, weil sich das so auch gehört für'n Server!

Wer jetzt unbedingt WinShit-Zeugs zocken will trotz #Malware (#DRM & "#ClientSideAnticheat") muss halt im Zweifelsfalle eh was performantes durchreichen.

@frumble@chaos.social Ich meine, ne VM nutzen außer per Virtual Desktop auf der Arbeit ist eh schon top 0,1%. Und Hardwarebeschleunigung ist selbst da Ausnahme… - Gibt mehr Leute die ne dedizierte GraKa + iGPU haben. Braucht nur halt I/O-Redirection. - Alternativ ne gebrauchte GRID/Tesla kaufen weil die können z.T. 16 (!) Consumer-GPUs (bis hin zu ner GTX1070) gleichzeitig simulieren. Sorry, aber was brauchbareres fällt mir nicht ein. Mehrere Ex-(!)Arbeitgeber glaubten mit nicht als ich denen sagte dass mit der #vmware-Übernahme die geshafted werden, und nun haben die z.T. 1000% teurere #Lizensierung|skosten… - Folglich ist es *immer* ein Fehler sich auf proprietäre, Single-Vendor & Single-Provider *"Lösungen"* einzulassen! Schlimmer sind nur #MicroSlop, #SAP und der Voldemort der deutschen Softwareindustrie: #DATEV!

Is there a good way of stripping DRM from kindle ebooks these days, without actually owning a kindle device ? Ive been a bit confused on the state of kindle DRM ever since they killed downloads and the kindle for PC app; and im not a regular of the amazon ecosystem these days.

I keep staring at a few kindle exclusives, and im kinda tempted, if I can find a way to decrypt them. #ebooks #drm #ebook #ereader #kindle #amazon #DefectiveByDesign

EDIT: Thanks for the boosts, I seem to have gotten the current terrible news here: https://mastodon.social/@AKK666/115923850408526370

My wife is switching to Zorin OS from Win10. She needs a replacement for Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) to download protected ebooks. She uses Calibre to remove DRM, but needs to keep the original protected files, which seem only available via ADE. Does anyone know how to download these original protected files without ADE?

The TV show #Kojak from #tubitv play fine on ARM64 #Debian. 1963's Jason and the Argonauts get #DRM errors.

This is HUGE! Once the #widevine gets supported in other systems, especially #openbsd they will become much more viably for daily desktop usage.

Woher bezieht ihr #DRM-freie #Hörbücher (für Kids)?

DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: https://u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM

In reality, at least in software hacking / modding / reverse engineering not involving copyright infringement, Denuvo has never been a problem. The same cannot be said for all the home-made DRM solutions, whether by 2K or by Capcom. I don't know if it's due to inexperience or for other reasons, but that's why it's not surprising at all to me when it's discovered that those same DRMs cause even more performance issues than previously thought - https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/01/the-latest-monster-hunter-wilds-pc-perf-drama-explained
