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

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

It’s been over a decade since Tor Books UK revealed that the decision to sell DRM-free didn’t negatively impact their business or cause an increase in unauthorised file sharing. Sadly, few traditional publishers have followed suit. I hope the rest of the industry takes the hint, sooner rather than later. The day ALL publishers stop infecting their ebooks with can’t come soon enough as far as I’m concerned. Defective by design is NOT a feature. @bookstodon

Can anyone please help me verify the following

On Linux, Firefox can stream DRM content at the highest resolution of 720p, due to DRM being a "open" standard and Chrome can hit FHD.

But is this true for all DRM content, in particular Amazon Prime Video?

"But think about the artists!" is a favorite refrain of so-called "intellectual property" enthusiasts (aka corporations.) Hear from one (DBD) guest writer and musician about how totally cramped his style: https://u.fsf.org/1rx

Het internet wordt weer een stuk minder vrij:
https://tweakers.net/nieuws/220144/nederlandse-providers-moeten-grote-illegale-e-bookdownloadplatforms-blokkeren.html
Stichting Brein krijgt hierbij zelfs de mogelijkheid om zomaar vermeende proxies toe te voegen aan de blokkeerlijst, zonder dat er ook maar een rechter aan te pas komt.
Dat terwijl legale e-book vaak zo gemankeerd zijn door DRM dat het echt jou boek niet is en je het niet kunt lezen op het apparaat van jou keuze.
Meeste mensen willen best betalen voor boeken, maar dan moet je wel gemak bieden!

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

It's there! schedules for the upcoming season, starting Sunday March 31st, 2024!

Later today, I hope to do some analysis of the schedules for certain stations to keep track of general shape of international SW broadcasting.

Not to mention TDF. They have awfully lot of test broadcasts popping up everywhere! From my own experience, these may actually appear also on frequencies not registered... They always carry RFI in French at low-ish, 8+ kbit/s bitrate.
