This is why I was saying to jailbreak your kindles, buy movies and shows on dvd/bluray, and buy copies of games you can download/save/have on disc if you can. These companies are getting really bold about revoking your rights to digital media you paid for under the false guise of ownership. They are pretty much "leasing" it to you digitally and can stop making it available whenever they want. If you want to own anything you really need your own copy no one can take from you.

Books on Libby have started disappearing.

My friend pointed it out first, and then I started noticing too. Why would books that multiple libraries definitely, 100% had digital access to a couple of months/weeks/days ago disappear?

Amazon is invoking exclusive rights to them.*

Ebooks that the public library once had digital copies of are now only available through Amazon. Audible boasts on their covers about Audible-exclusive audiobooks that did not used to be Audible-exclusive. Entire series and collections are disappearing overnight.

Keep your eyes on the privatization of media and your libraries.

*earlier versions said "getting"; Amazon has likely always had these rights, but in the face of boycotts they're tightening the leash, so to say

**librarians in the notes have also noted that, in addition to Amazon often refusing to sell to libraries/increasing their number of exclusive/privatized titles, libraries have to repurchase eBooks/audiobooks every eight uses, so cuts to library funding have reduced their access to media as well

The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, provided by uBlockOrigin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist,” DuckDuckGo said in a post on X. “While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.

For as many transmigration manhwa as I read, if that ever happened to me I'd be so screwed. These bitches will land in a new realm and they either remember the entirety of the novel/game or they re-write the whole story in a little journal to remember important characters and events. I'm lucky if I remember the main character's names, let alone what empire had a plot against which Duke's son and what alleyway this attack happened in or exactly what time of day the ML chose the FL, like tf?

I don't remember details when I read, I only remember vibes, keep truck-kun away from me 😔
