Me IRL

@gnitro wait wait. They made an anime of this??? I read the original light novel, like years ago and thought it was mildly amusing. But an anime??????? Man, they really be giving adaptions of anything except the good shit.

Also libraries pay royalties to authors every time a book is borrowed. If you borrow a book from the library, you are not only supporting a public service but you are also supporting the author too!

As a former librarian I wish a very friendly Fuck You and Die to book publishers. They are the scum of the Earth.

They hate libraries. Did you know that they induce artificial scarcity by making libraries pay for each digital copy of a book? Despite ebooks being infinitely replicable, they make libraries pay for more than one copy at a time. Publishers deliberately force a limit on the supply of digital library books to extort more money out of libraries for popular titles.

In addition, publishers lobbied (in the UK) to make library ebooks only work through their apps on mobile and PC, and not compatible with any Kindle/Kobo/etc so people wouldn’t get a good experience. There is a cartel — made solely of a company called Overdrive. Their app is absolute buggy dogshit. A far cry from the breezy and simple interface of an e-reader.

But it gets worse. Original proposals from the publishers wanted it so that service users could only download ebooks while physically in the library, thus negating the convenience of them!

Despite ebooks being cheaper to produce than a traditional book and infinitely reproducable, Overdrive will sometimes charge more for an ebook than a supplier would charge for the equivalent copy.

Publishers would have lobbied against the invention of public libraries if they could. And take it from me — public libraries are one of the few open spaces left on this planet where one can just exist at without needing to pay for anything.

@goatsarah no, I need to wake up in the morning so I can exchange my time and labour for monetary compensation lol

Plus I need plenty of sleep or I feel awful

@goatsarah I usually go to bed at… 22.30 to 23.00 hence my confusion

Wait… Why are all you Europeans still awake? Huh? So none of you go to bed at the same time I do?? This is so strange.

“‘Mastodon’ is a competitor to—“

Why do journalists always say this? This is some capitalist-brained mindset.

The only thing the Fediverse competes with is your sleep schedule.

@aral I hate that this makes sense

@anarchosynthism @goatsarah oh my god!! This dude personally defederated me from his instance lmao

@thememesniper @AnthonyJK

@thememesniper @AnthonyJK you fucking kidding me? I get banned TWO days before it launches and they let the actual fascists join the platform?????????

@Jain No, not that bad. I will just post as I normally do. I know that I will get banned eventually, because Zucc has suspended me from Facebook a few times for posting the same stuff I’ve done here.
