Thank you, Fediverse! Goodbye, Amazon!
I've now successfully "liberated" my Audible books into playable MP3 files with Libation.
I've got all my Kindle books as readable text thanks to Calibre.
And Storygraph imported all of my Goodreads data!

This is really exciting to me.
Firstly, because I was able to actually do it and my knowledge of computers is limited. I figured only the most qualified hackers would be able to do it (are there hacker qualifications? GCSEs? A Levels? Olympic medals? Anyway...)
It's also really cool just knowing these things exist and that it's possible to do the thing. It's hopeful. Things don't have to be the way they are "just cos".
That's fun.

@miffyhelen hello, hello, hello. I am super interested in getting my audio books so I can stop paying Amazon audible subscription. What is this magical tool of which you speak? Is it an app?

@piero @notizie E per via di "centralizzato / decentralizzato" non avrei idea di come si possa fare a far capire ai profani. A parte il solito esempio del numero telefonico e la mail.
Tu non dovresti preoccuparti di quale istanza segue la persona con cui dialoghi. Le grandi aziende sono riuscite a far diventare inconsueto quello che è normale (vedi telefono e mail)

@piero @notizie La faccenda della verifica dell'età e il controllo chat, sempre adducendo la solita scusa dei bambini, è un modo per SCHEDARE le persone. Oggi ti dicono "sei anonimo se guardi i siti porno" ma i dati loro ce li hanno. Poi passano a mandarti pubblicità, poi a crearti problemi (di qualsiasi tipo) se non rispetti i canoni voluti dal politico. Che per carità potrebbe essere destra o sinistra, a quel livello là il colore importa il giusto.

@bkardell how so?

@evan seems like this particular poll might be just slightly biased

They call options related to this "feature" "get a room", which somehow makes it more annoying.

OK, Discourse (the forum software, not "the discourse" about any current news) made me mad today, and that's not something that ever happens. I love Discourse, but this one is crazy.
I get mad when someone PMs me, and this damned forum software is telling people to do it behind my back. This is a support forum for an Open Source project, people are not allowed to ask for private help without paying for it. It is bonkers to recommend taking public conversations private.

julian Oh, you're right. I never did it manually and they must have defederated for some reason.
Sorry, but I absolutely hadn't noticed this, so I'd say the problem with NodeBB is solved then

@hongminhee It's a place where our loosey goosey style goes into nondeterminism. We should tighten it up in the next version. My main answer would be: publishers, don't do that.
