Deals on Kindles may seem attractive, but don't forget Amazon is one of the most devoted peddlers of DRM. We prefer books we can loan to our friends, free of restriction and prying eyes. Read more about how to live DRM-free: https://u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM #BoycottAmazon #Amazon

When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM

Since it seems #Google has decided to uni-laterally force through their new anti-#adblock #DRM euphemistically named "Web environment integrity", I decided to add a little bit of code to my website that blanks out the page and displays a protest message with a link to the firefox download page when you visit it from a browser with this DRM feature. Here's the source inside one toot, feel free to copy and put it at the end of your website's <body> before the closing tag:

A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :

* The "Manifest v3" sabotage of content blocking extensions: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/10/23131029/mozilla-ad-blocking-firefox-google-chrome-privacy-manifest-v3-web-request
* The attempted sabotage of #JPEGXL: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/chrome-banishes-jpeg-xl-photo-format-that-could-save-phone-space/
* #WebEnvironmentIntegrity a.k.a. #DRM for whole websites would hurt the web, #opensource browsers and OSes: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/07/googles-web-integrity-api-sounds-like-drm-for-the-web/

Chrome Banishes JPEG XL Photo Format That Could Save Phone Space

Adobe, Intel, Shopify and Facebook like the new JPEG XL standard, but Google has dealt it a severe blow.

Repeat a 1,000 times: #Google is an #advertising moloch and #Chrome browser monopolist, NOT your friendly free service provider!

Google is about to smack down on the #OpenWeb, killing it with their so-called "Web Environment Integrity API" #DRM proposal.

"Wanna watch those #Netflix or #Youtube vids? Better have Chrome without #AdBlocker then"

"Here's plenty #ads. Now hand over your #PII so we can grow our #SurveillanceCapitalism empire"

Google: Here’s our latest evil plan…

Folks: That’s an evil plan, we don’t like it.

Google: Please keep the discussion to technical issues only.

@Wiola Myszkowska sugeruję NIE linkować do podkastów na głównej strony spotify bo nie można tam nic odsłuchać bez zgody na zainstalowanie / włączenie #drm i/albo ząłożenia konta. Lepiej dać link do ich strony, która jest w #rss podkastu czyli w tym wypadku: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/... (dokładny adres podcastu trzeba sprawdzić bo OCZYWIŚCIE po co wyszukiwarka na stronie, która ma ułatwiać słuchanie na korpo-stronie bez konta/drm ?). A najlepiej sprawdzić czy autor dodał podcat do #PodcastIndex (-> https://podcastindex.org/podcast/369669 ) bo z niego korzystają otwarte aplikacje w rodzaju #antennapod .

Excellent background from @doctorow.

"#Deere abuses copyright law to force farmers to pay for official repairs — even when the farmer does the repair. That’s possible thanks to a practice called VIN locking, in which engine parts come with #DRM that prevents the tractor from recognizing them until they pay hundreds of dollars for a John Deere technician to come to their farm and type an unlock code into the tractor’s console."

Plus: The win is not as good as it looks.
