You don’t need to crack anything, pirate your ebooks (I’ve recently had good results from annas-archive.org for fiction books) and send them to kindle as personal documents.

Corporations are not people, no matter what the Supreme Court says.
The only game journalist I trust is James Stephanie Sterling and Denuvo sure as shit isn’t sending them a copy
When you go to PM, it clearly shows a message reading “Warning: Private messages in Lemmy are not secure. Please create an account on Element.io for secure messaging.”
It’s a public message board, don’t put anything you don’t want public on it.
If a corporation puts their crimes inside a computer, they can get away with it for years before anybody figures out how to do anything about it.
From the 1998 paper titled “The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine” by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page:
Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users. For example, in our prototype search engine one of the top results for cellular phone is “The Effect of Cellular Phone Use Upon Driver Attention”, a study which explains in great detail the distractions and risk associated with conversing on a cell phone while driving. This search result came up first because of its high importance as judged by the PageRank algorithm, an approximation of citation importance on the web [Page, 98]. It is clear that a search engine which was taking money for showing cellular phone ads would have difficulty justifying the page that our system returned to its paying advertisers. For this type of reason and historical experience with other media [Bagdikian 83], we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers.
Yeah there’s a pretty fundamental conflict of interest in an advertising company controlling most of the world’s browsers.
This means you need to use Firefox, Chrome is crippling adblockers.
It’s to feed your suburban paranoia
I unironically agree with your equivalent, too. Car bad bike good.
Putting a camera on the front of your house is stupid just answer the door asshole.
There are only two types of software: Free and nonFree
A normal goddamn doorbell
Hell yeah we can even put the bicycles on the trains

People who want to do phrenology now tend to hide it in an “AI algorithm”
Yes they are
XP released in 2001, only stopped getting support in 2014, and got an emergency security patch as recently as 2019. Expecting computers to last more than 3 years isn’t new.
I predict that so many people will run 10 past EOL that Microsoft will be forced to extend it like they did for XP and 7.
I don’t think that actually is a Free Software license, an open source license, or any kind of license for that matter, so much as a vague statement of intent
