"Entering the terms ‘Internet Archive DRM’ into any search engine results in a number of links to software tools that remove the Internet Archive’s DRM technology along with instructions on how to use it."
-
nicolas17
okay then send your legal threats to those tools and not to IA itself
-
fireonlive
('someone' should save those tools too)
-
nicolas17
well yeah but
-
nicolas17
from a legal standpoint those are more illegal than IA letting you borrow a book

something everyone in this field needs to understand about the law is that it's mostly the arbitrary whims of the most powerful people. They want to shut down IA, so they will shut down IA. The law just determines how much arguing happens before it is shut down.
-
fireonlive
-
immibis
IA could be the only institution giving things out with known broken DRM, and if so they'll use that to shut it down

fireonlive: this didn't need to be 3000px
-
fireonlive
😂
-
fireonlive
the best part is, it's going on the IA forever
-
immibis
movie DRM gets more restrictive every time a breaking tool is released publicly, and IA DRM does not, therefore IA intends its DRM to be broken
-
immibis
at least that's what the court will argue - and if you can't keep your DRM up to date then you can't serve books at all

re: israel/palestine conflict, it only takes one click to get your feed messed up, depending on which side of the conversation you're on.

my dream language that probably wouldn't actually work that well but I'd still like to try would be C integrated with invariants and proofs. Every safe language like Rust is just trying to find a convenient subset of that.

Yes

If you think I'm exaggerating that, go look up his mastodon feed (and I suggest finding it yourself so you know I'm not giving you a false link)
-
nukke
oh boy, that feed. he's certainly deranged but neonazi?
-
immibis
what do you feel is the difference between what you see and neonazism?
-
immibis
is it because he wants to gas the Muslims instead of the Jews? Kinda irrelevant difference IMO
-
Jon
I haven't seen anything saying "gas the muslims" but I haven't read it exhaustively (and I won't). I see plenty of polar-opposite-of-neonazi posts. But again I'm not going to study this guy, any further really
-
immibis
pretending that mostly reasonable people want to gas the jews is not the polar opposite of neonazism, it's a deflection and confusion tactic

it's the whole "woke leftists are genociding white people" schtick

so please leave discussions of whether someone is "neonazi" or not out of here. those discussions can be very polarising (as in "you're either for or against us"), and Archive Team should stay a welcoming place to all those who are interested in web archiving, which is what we're here for
