The #bookshop kobo.com sells lots of non-DRM eBooks!

However, they also sell lots of DRM eBooks, all mixed together with the non-DRM, and no filter to sort them out

This makes it very difficult to look for non-DRM books on #Kobo.

So, to solve this problem switching.social presents the Unofficial Kobo Search page, which lets you find non-DRM books available on your country's Kobo site:

https://switching.social/unofficial-kobo-search/

Any feedback very welcome.

Thanks everyone who bought Neofeud this sale! This has gone a long way to help treat our tannin and microbe-filled tap water, and supports my life decision to not become a hi-frequency trading AI programmer for a TBTF bank. :) Faith in sentient-kind's ability to run a post-capitalist society at scale ++.

Still 50% off for the next few days on Itch: https://silverspook.itch.io/neofeud

For #electronic #music lovers, I've been working on a new track called Battlestar Dreams (it's just a quick preview)...

My Asiatic Lillies are looking great this summer.

From three flowerheads last year to this year's explosion of sunshine.

Starting to see how important community is. @ChrisTalleras made me realize how important it is to create a friendly environment for people to gather around art that we like and share with each other. We are the creators, we are the creatives. It's our duty to create these places for others and us.

The latest #CumbriaNoir (seems redundant when talking about Cumbria 😉) crime fiction novel from Ruth Sutton is available to buy direct from Fahrenheit Press.

They're DRM-free, so will work on any device. And would sit happily in your #Libreture library.

"Both Bitcoin and Ethereum mining are very centralized, with the top four miners in Bitcoin and the top three miners in Ethereum controlling more than 50% of the hash rate.
The entire blockchain for both systems is determined by fewer than 20 mining entities."

In other words: decentralization in the crypto space is a myth, just as it is a myth that cryptos are currencies at all.

Took me all of 5 mins! 📷📱🛠 Here’s a lovely photo of berries that I took with it - no filter / editing ☺️

tasksapp has full support for dating tasks. Default behaviour where a date is set is to show it in your agenda as 'coming soon' a couple of days before it is due, then move it into the 'do now' section on the date you specify.

Will be adding a feature soon so users can set their visibility prefs for all dated tasks.

sudo apt remove filezilla

And I get it from Ubuntu's repos. But that is bullshit, and targets folks already at risk due to OS design.

Where I live, online casinos, betting and gambling are one of the main sectors that tech workers find themselves involved with. People spend their days coming up with ways to trick punters into gambling more.

The people doing this on the whole aren't Bad People, they are just surviving in a crap system.
