@Techmeme I would point out that K&E depends on the same LAWS as its rivals…

At least Richard Nixon had the decency to resign.

Donald Trump didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize.

But if he ever wants to see a Nobel Peace Prize, he can visit the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago where it’s on display.

Dear Amazon/Kindle Team,

Thanks for the condescending 'longtime customer' pat on the head right before you brick my perfectly working 14-year-old Kindle on May 20.

No more buying, borrowing, or downloading books. Reset it? It's dead forever.

Treating loyal readers like cash cows with an expiration date is peak corporate greed.

This is textbook planned obsolescence. Remember when you actually did cool shit like AutoRip for your customers?

Insincerely,
Enshittified Readers Everywhere

Stupidly and naively, it didn't occur to me that Amazon would force-retire my Kindle Fire 7 that my wife gave me for an anniversary well over a decade ago, one of my most treasured possessions. It wasn't hurting anyone. It just sat there and worked every time I asked.

I guess this time, they did mean it.

Despite 3 years of Mike Johnson & Trump trying to stop it, the plaque honoring Jan 6 cops plaque was finally installed overnight.
Johnson had the workers do it quietly, at 4AM, hoping it wouldn't get any press.
Let's ruin his plans... and make sure that one of the first crimes he's prosecuted for is breaking the 2023 law that required him to put it up. VIA~ U.S. Democratic Socialists

@CompSciFact As someone whose startups are all shot down and my code disposed of, the idea that someone wrote COBOL thirty years ago and it’s still in use is validating
