But I was told that rich people like musk and Trump weren’t swayed by money because they had enough… 😂

My thoughts exactly. If you want to destroy the US software industry, this is a great way to go about it. Coupled with making it as difficult to get trained as a software developer, of course.

Dad taught college and got tired of this game. So he wrote his own book and students could print copies in the print shop for $10.

Now that I’ve gone on to teach college I’ve continued that tradition, except online for $0.

I avoid those desktop apps, anyway. I just keep them in browser tabs. Not that I frequent Facebook.

I used to work in marketing as a dev and this shit never made sense to me. I didn’t investigate like TFA but I am 0% surprised by the finding. Incentives are all misaligned.

They take pictures of you sleeping.

I can’t wait for this shit to become so pervasive that I only read paper books.

It’s messed up when some random spyware Chinese camera is safer to use than anything made in the US.

It depends on how much separation you need. If you want different bookmarks, history, or settings per, then I believe you need profiles to make that happen.

I will never, ever purchase a book I can’t remove the DRM from.

And there are people out there who are absolutely fanatical about book preservation. They will photograph every single page and run it through OCR and recreate an ebook just so it gets preserved. DRM is absolutely pointless and stupid.
