🚨 Ask for ID upon sign up
🚨 Decrypt data upon request

Hi #FediHelp! I’m still new here and noticed my own posts are being labeled as sensitive content, even when I don’t add content warnings. Am I missing something?

🎉 Exciting day! I just received my DeskPi RackMate T0 for my homelab setup. 🖥️✨

This compact 4U rack is perfect for organising my gear, and I am thrilled to start setting it up. Big thanks to #DeskPi for their support and @geerlingguy for starting this mini rack project! 🙌

⚠️ Beginning Feb 26, Amazon will block you from:
1) downloading ebooks to your computer
2) transferring books from computer to Kindle via USB

This is another reminder that you do not own your media when you buy through companies like Amazon.

Before the 26th:
Go to Accounts & Lists > Content Library > Books. Click More actions > Download & transfer via USB.

Anytime:
Migrate ASAP to a workflow where you control your media. https://calibre-ebook.com/ is a fantastic, open source place to start.

Privacy cannot be stopped.

This can happen to other services and is not exclusive to just Apple. This is an attack on encryption.

What to do from here? If you currently use ADP in another country: rest assured it's safe to use. But at least think of backup options in the event the feature disappears.

Our open source site can help you develop backup strategies:
