Gabriel Pettier@luis_in_brief this is art.
@tshirtman yes but it is found art or performance art
@luis_in_brief probably the former 🥲
@tshirtman we’ll have to ask https://bsky.app/profile/lu.is/post/3ludk6uzols2l
Vogelgesang@luis_in_brief @tshirtman it is performance art.
argument: the "art" effect arises from a performative tension between elements within the bookshop frame.
with found art the tension would have to come from an act of recontextualization.
The cat who walks thru walls@luis_in_brief @tshirtman Performance is where you find it, so both.
xinit ☕@luis_in_brief
Both. They're performing, and you found it?
Renato Ramonda@luis_in_brief @tshirtman this is Dadaism (not intentionally, but)
@renatoram @luis_in_brief yeah, you could call it a ready made.

Karel P Kerezman@luis_in_brief A teeny tiny bit on the freakin' nose.
sayitintexan@luis_in_brief That has GOT to be intentional. 👏

Azarilhⓥ@jerod23 Yea but they are talking about language, "reading and not understanding", not the inaccessibility in the form of payments. No?
Rosa Luxemburgo 
@Azarilh Without a doubt. In 1992 nearly every paper published in a journal was available only in printed form. Unless it was really old and had been transferred to microfiche.
But with that title and being online and behind a paywall for over a decade sums up the attitude of putting the second paper behind a paywall.
A human right to science. Please access through your institution or purchase for reading.

The image shows the price listing for a book called "the invention of scarcity". It is offered in hardcover and ebook. The price is the same: $65.
The funny part is the ebook edition is listed as "out of stock".

Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@luis_in_brief Reminds me of the days when Amazon always showed "out of print" for print-on-demand books. What they meant was not "you can't buy this" but "we don't have any physical copies in our warehouse and neither does the publisher". But they fixed that.
Timo TijhofThis reminds me of when the Dutch gov company registry website was only available from 9-5 on work days. As if someone's sitting at it and responding to each request...
@krinkle @luis_in_brief When we went to India in 2009 the train ticket system was the same way, which was irritating when trying to buy tickets from the other side of the world…
Tony Yarusso@luis_in_brief @krinkle Our unemployment insurance web site is like that. Thankfully they expanded the hours a little it recently, but still.

PDF LOAD LETTER? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Kevin RussellNice catch.
@kevinrns no! Not nice! I want to read the book! Now!
As I understand it, economics was once about arranging the distribution of scarce goods, and now economics is preventing the distribution of plentiful goods.
Poverty is an arrangement.
Christian Kent 𝘊𝘒 :＼﹥@kevinrns @luis_in_brief The bad version being invented hasn’t stopped the good version being necessary or useful.
Defending economics wasn't what I expected. The study of post scarcity billionairism isn't economics anymore.
And post-billionairism isnt economics either.
Whether or not Adam Smith was correct in his estimation that contract and market were a good way to distribute scarce goods, the contract breakers who got rich controlling markets ended that system, because criminal greed.
AND also tech change, hundreds of years, has eliminated scarcity, Malthus died of natural causes.
Preventing the distribution of plentiful goods.
Supply side economics is the tool used to prevent demand from including need.
Demand Side economics.

korin@luis_in_brief you see, bandwidth to transmit PDFs is very hard to come by!
JdeBPI thought that this might be one of those fake screenshots that social media is notorious for. So I checked out the YUP WWW site for myself.
My goodness!

@luis_in_brief the ironyyyyyyyy 
stefan@luis_in_brief Also... How is it the the E-Book is the same Price as a fucking Hardcover. Pure Greed mand
@luis_in_brief @europlus That being said, the topic is fascinating. Malthus was proved right and right again, until the Industrial Revolution and to this day we’re wondering when hindsight begins.
Rastal@luis_in_brief Remember when e-books first came out and the promise was they would be considerably cheaper because there was no printing involved... Fast forward to today and most e-books are the same price as a printed softcover book, come with DRM as standard, lock you into buying all future e-books from the same seller (got a Kindle? You buy from Amazon) and they can remove the book you paid for yet don't own, losing your future access to it.
Ugh, give me a real book anyday!

@luis_in_brief reminds me that my library provides an ebook and audio book service but you can’t take one out if someone else already has it and some items have reservation waiting lists that extend out six months or more!

Your library is probably held hostage by the publisher (funnily enough, Google keyboard suggested "punisher" here). While OP is presumably a screenshot of the publisher's website.
It's the same issue, but I won't blame the library without questioning.
