What a stupid waste of resources. Ice is ice.

I just checked in my own, you can change the toolbar to the top of the screen in the “Customize” page of the settings.

Anyone who says paid software is guaranteed to be better is either selling you something or delusional.

FOSS has almost never disappointed me as an end user. Windows disappoints me every time I use it.

I don’t see how modern Russia is still the USSR. Could you explain?

Propaganda is incredibly powerful.

Just based on the article, these “reforms” are clearly aimed at harming the working class. I’ll give you one guess as to which other class of people will benefit from them.

Personally I just abandoned my Kindle library when I bought a Nook. That’s not particularly helpful, of course, but it’s what I did as part of kicking Amazon out of my life entirely. I started buying my books from non-DRM sources.

I will say this: you may have paid for “licenses” for those books, but you don’t actually own them. Amazon can rip away your access to them at any time. Were it me, I’d simply pirate DRM-free copies of the same books. Though if you can successfully strip off the DRM and convert them to open-source formats, that’s just as good and carries less risk. Every time I’ve converted ebook formats with Calibre it’s done weird stuff to the text: letters incorrectly interpreted, missing punctuation, page breaks in odd places, and enough of them to be annoying. Something to consider. Maybe that kind of thing can be corrected but I haven’t yet figured out how.
