  12. @neotoy The #commercial world also *knows this* as #ink makers and #printer #manufacturers to #lure people or find ways to reduce #longevity of #machines #selling #cheap directly or indirectly - it's rather a planned and increasingly "clever" by design "eco-system"...

  13. Oh fuck you Lexmark - printer cartridges that not only have a chip to prevent refilling/reuse... But the toner is *also* region locked!!??
    Yes a cheap "Asia Pacific" toner won't work in a "European" printer.
    Oh but obviously there's a thriving black market for replacement chips (albeit they're sold at a massive profit)
    Region. Locked. Printer. Toner. FFS.
    Utter stupidity.

  18. "There once was a time when you could donate a book to the library to give others in your community access to it. There once was a time when libraries owned the works that they provide to the public, rather than finding themselves trapped by unethical technology and predatory licensing fees," said Greg Farough, campaigns manager at the FSF.

  20. For this year's #idad I created a survey to assess public knowledge and opinion of #DRM. The more informed we are as a whole, the better we can fight it.

    The survey is hosted on my own NextCloud server - no ads, no trackers, no AI, no personal information. If you have 7-12 minutes to spare, I would appreciate if you can fill it out. Thank you in advance!

    Survey link: tdd-dev.com/nextcloud/index.ph

    > If you have an alternative frontend (e.g. Kodi with the TVNZ+ addon) you don't need to log in or be tracked

    Good to know, thanks. About time I had another crack at using Kodi.

    > But it still requires the Widevine codec to access DRM content

    This one?
    developers.google.com/widevine

    Do you know if full source code is available?
