The reader isn't the issue is it? The thing you want to get around is having to buy books from AMAZON, which is their profit engine. A reader should be able to let you buy new, popular read, ebooks from elsewhere.

Many books aren't available as epub because publishers insist on DRM.

Welcome back to Cyberpunk Librarian.

Episode 67 leads right into episode 68 as Dan takes on the theory and practice of underground librarianship, anarchivism, and shadow librarianship.

@val Totally understand. It's not a useless degree, and it never has been. But after working with newly minted librarians year and year, from the Masters to the Doctorate... I've worked with so many people who didn't learn the things they needed to learn. And it's not their fault, that's on their schools. That's a problem with curriculum. I'm sure this isn't a problem with all of the library schools out there but...

I find that a lot of them are somewhat divorced from reality.

Also,… for the sake of honesty: I have been working as a public librarian myself for 11 years: adult section manager, ILS manager, cataloger, circulation desk, etc.

I do not have an actual library degree, either.

I have a master in history, & some administrative paper saying I have followed 2y out of 4 of evening librarian courses (burn out of studiying after 6yuni + these 2y), and I started working following a good internship before I got the paper.

I found the classification of Leap as a "distro for experienced users" a bit surprising. To me it was always a really good distro to land in Linux, the popularity of Ubuntu, really, just being a shot in the foot of the whole ecosystem instead

To people crying socialism, this is not something the government has decided. It's been negotiated between McDonald's Denmark and the workers' union.
To everyone whining abt taxes: In Scandinavia (and the EU), nobody needs to work two or three jobs or > 40 hours a week. People earn a decent living from that 1 job. People can afford rent and food, daycare is cheap and you don't need to pay for healthcare.
That McDonald's worker is not working poor, she doesn't need food stamps or a second job.

Reason: the admin is a nazi who says we need to close all Holocaust museums because Jews did not “learn their lesson” from it.

You just called "nazi" the "n word", I'm not sure if that's more or less outlandish than calling for the takedown of Holocaust memorials.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Oh Eugen, ¿it was possible, that the owner of mastodon.social, will do the right thing for once?

Asking for the temporary close down of Jews museums, to separate themselves, from the #Israel #Zionist is a great idea. Many Jews are against israel.

Zionist killed 60000+ people and are #starving a couple of millions. Commiting #war #crimes and commiring a #genocide in #gaza and an #ethnic #cleansing, according to the #ICJ in #hague.

Stop programming for a few hours and read what the world says in mastodon. And don't pretend to be more clever or witty than the rest of the world and the ICJ judges.

Germany and germans are loosing this argument, big time, all over the world.

Israel are #criminals and #murderers since 1948. That is an historical fact as big as the Jewish Holocaust.

@fabio @staff Does the money other museums get also get reinvested in specific external causes or it this a bar you have invented exclusively for commemoration of Jewish suffering? You are proposing the erasure of history, not only of the Jewish people, but Roma and Sinti, the LGBT and the disabled, as revenge for what the Israel government is doing, as if all Jewish people are responsible for it. This is not a normal opinion.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @fabio @staff

With respect, no he isn’t. He’s expressing an opinion that using an historical tragedy to mask abhorrent behavior now is unacceptable. He is entitled to his opinion, as are we all.

He is not suggesting that the offending museums should be closed or that their portfolios should be distributed elsewhere or erased.

The ‘different bar’ is a fair comment, but argue this point, not some other invented offence.

it's more reason to boot Ubuntu out of my team and switch to Arch or Manjaro for development.
in reply to It's FOSS

Ubuntu has been confusing me lately. They keep making sweeping changes that rework their entire distro away from the common standards. Yet they seem to be doing so based on extremely shallow reasoning? Why streamline? What bug are your trying to resolve? I know it ain't a size problem cause server isos are tiny. Are they bored?

TLDR; Why they streamlining and please tell me they have a default alias for wget to wcurl?
