Sitting here, trying to get the defunct Adobe Digital Editions to work (which requires .net 2.0 sp2) so that I can read newly purchased DRM-locked #SolarPunk ebooks with my screenreader-accessible software and thinking...
Yes. This is truly the bright solar punk future. Having to rely on a long-obsolete proprietary tool in order to open digitally locked files that I paid actual money for.

#ScribesAndMakers 8, Why do you think some people don't see value in creativity?
I think quite a few (but by no means all) people are so buried in basic survival that they feel unable to take time to so much as enjoy a sunset. They probably feel resentful that people exist who can dedicate any time or energy to anything but survival.

People have a lot of opinions about this *latest* Apple BS, but they sure are short on *solutions*
If, like me, your actual job requires you to use a smartphone-based tool for logins (no, SMS won't do), your city has smartphone-based parking meters, your bank only accepts smartphone-based deposits, and because you live in the US, you can't even *buy* some of the cool european phones...
There's not much else you can *do* about it.
So hey, here's an idea, maybe retire the high horse and help?

Preparing my novel ideas for #WritingMonth this year.
Still going to use https://writingmonth.org/ , unless there's a newer, better one out.
I've been challenged to write something other than a far future sci-fi space fantasy this time... so I'm planning something very different.

@thomasfuchs.at@bsky.brid.gy I've heard it referred to as "highly efficient extraction of technical debt without all that awkward functionality"

Was up until 2 last night finishing @pluralistic@mamot.fr's "Homeland".
Such a great book, and it aged *way* too well.
Highly recommend you grab a copy: https://craphound.com/category/homeland/

Is there any better way to see the world? The saddle of a bike is probably the best seat in the house.
