(Talking trash about Thatcher on social media has a very utilitarian purpose: Thatcher fans are some of the most annoying people on the internet and the best way to improve your replies is by having as few of them around you as is possible.)
Amazon are killing off their old Kindles - notably the ones which still let you remove DRM from their ebooks.
I suspect that it is also because they can't connect to modern TLS servers.
A shame, although I was only using it for stripping DRM.
There are a few jailbreaks but the hardware and software is ancient, so I might have to repurpose mine as yet another semi-passive display.

Note to anyone who buys art from an artist: DO NOT EVER RUN THE ART THROUGH AN AI-PROGRAM! It will change details and destroy the art AND feeds that art into the program to be stolen over and over again!

To do this is to allow the theft of the artist's work.

Sincerely: Artist whose map just got absolutely ruined by AI "filter" and is shared in instagram with all the million mistakes that makes my skills look absolute shit. Plus the theft thing.

I am so so sad.

So the Dem tent can apparently include people who:

•Mock DV survivors
•Use the N word
•Fund and then deny genocide
•Demonize Muslims
•Oppose abortion access
•Deny climate change
•Dehumanize LGBTQ people
•Support the war in Iran
•Oppose voting rights
•Support killing civilians in war

But the line is: a Muslim who opposes Israeli government policy and says so loudly. The hypocrisy is disgusting, dangerous, and destructive.

The Hasan Piker Witch Hunt Exposes Everything Wrong With Corporate Democrats

They’ll platform racists, Islamophobes, and war criminals — but draw the line at a Muslim who opposes genocide Corporate Democrats and centrists have found their villain of the month: Hasan Piker, a leftist Muslim streamer with millions of followers who is unapologetically anti-Zionist and unafraid to say so. Pro-AIPAC puppet
