Defective by Design"But think about the artists!" is a favorite refrain of so-called "intellectual property" enthusiasts (aka corporations.) Hear from one <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/DefectiveByDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefectiveByDesign</a> (DBD) guest writer and musician about how <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DRM</a> totally cramped his style: <a href="https://u.fsf.org/1rx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://u.fsf.org/1rx</a> <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/EndDRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndDRM</a> <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a>

BenjaminJust finished setting up a Nintendo family account for wife, two kids and me, and move stuff from a Switch Lite to the wife's new Switch OLED.Once again reminded why I prefer physical to digital.SItuation: We have two digital copies of Animal Crossing, once on my account, once on my wife's. I moved her's from the Lite to the OLED. Now my daughter ("K2") is not allowed to play it on the OLED, despite it not running on the Lite. I had to de-register the Lite as wife's "Primary" console, and register the OLED as that for K2 to be allowed to play it there. But now K2 is not allowed to play it on the Lite. If I had a physical cartridge, I could just swap it between the two consoles.Well, good thing I _DID_ order a physical cartridge as well with the OLED. So now K2 is allowed to play on the Lite with the cartridge installed."Digital" cartridges are a step in the right direction, but Ninty still has a long way to go here to be on par with Steam Family Sharing.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nintendo</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DRM</a>

Defective by DesignDRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations?

Defective by DesignWhen we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers.

SmashedRatOnPress5/🧵 Our method of "fighting" against ebook environment enshittification is to give away books rather than use grifty platforms. Never will you find <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SROP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SROP</a> books available from a monopolistic business. (You can buy <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SROP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SROP</a> books if you want, but we don't force you to spend money to read.

SmashedRatOnPress4/🧵 'Zon controls the bookstore, the publishing platform, the software, and the devices for nearly ALL ebook sales worldwide. And their "exclusive" option locks the authors in. Tell me this isn't a monopoly?

SmashedRatOnPress3/🧵 That probably doesn't matter much globally. I'm only one reader. But these authors have entirely lost my readership and probably an aggregate $100/year in revenue from me.

SmashedRatOnPress2/🧵 Within the last few weeks, at least three authors whose work I normally buy immediately upon release have decided they'll stick with Amazon only, foregoing other retail outlets. Since I won't use Kindle (or associated Windows app) for reading, I'll no longer be buying any of their work. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebooks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/drm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drm</a>

SmashedRatOnPress1/🧵 Threaded rant of the day. In early 2023 'Zon made format & DRM changes that make it difficult to impossible to transport/read purchased Kindle books on other devices. (As far as I can tell, using only Calibre & plugins for transport.) I'm no longer even going to try. They've entirely lost my patronage. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebooks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/drm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drm</a>
