You have no idea. The US is a complete capitalist dystopia. I finally realized this several months ago when I read news stories about "vanlords" renting broken down vans parked on the streets for people to live in, for hundreds of dollars a month.

Those tiny round signs on sticks were absolutely ridiculous. What are they, crossing guards? Might as well be, because crossing guards would have more guts and more principles.

But that would have put their corporate donations in jeopardy!

No, English and Portuguese. :)

No problem, thank you!

Oh, that's cool to know. I hadn't realized that. I only speak a couple of languages well so far, but neither of them are major BD languages, haha. I plan to start learning French again sometime.

Edit: I take back what I said about global comix being mostly indie comics. They seem to have everything from major publishers to single person, free comics. Interesting. To search by country, click the "Explore" link on the site.

Thank you for your reply D'oh! Sorry that I didn't notice there was a community FAQ and a resource page! That's so rare for Lemmy communities, so congratulations are in order. It looks like either library apps or subscriptions are going to be my main options in terms of digital content.

I also found https://globalcomix.com/ may be worth exploring further, although it seems to be mostly indie comics and I'm not sure about whether there is DRM. What's interesting is that they allow filtering titles by country.

I suppose that Kindle would also have been an option until earlier this week when they disabled downloads, although maybe people will figure out other ways to remove the DRM after that change.

Thanks again!

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse:

The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[5][6]

You would have to look at those citations to see how authoritative they are. This may also still be open to interpretation?

That's actually kind of a brilliant concept that should serve as an example for other video game publishers then: open-source the program so that it can be maintained by the community, but require a license to use the artwork. The community could eventually recreate and even improve the artwork anyway.

That would be a completely legendary move if the dev hired by EA just said "fuck it, I'm open-sourcing this shit!"

I've heard of that too. They also have a mobile app, so you can do it directly from your phone.

Holy moly. 3,000 kg of gold at today's price would be $281,382,000 (281 million dollars). Gold is $93,794 per kg at the moment.

The best I can think of off hand is to look at the mobile apps that are designed to interact with traditional forums, because they will have directories of all the ones that are integrated with them. For example, Tapatalk and Fora Communities. You should be able to find thousands of forums categorized in those apps? I've never used these apps myself, but have heard of them.
