Moving from a need-oriented to a desire-oriented consumerist society.  Thanks a lot, Edward Bernays.

Optimism as a radical act.

"Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?" -- Henry David Thoreau Good question Henry.

Watched the Internet's Own Boy again. Quite abhorrent, the extent the government and institutions went to keep knowledge enclosed.

Trying out tizania (http://tizonia.org/) for streaming music from youtube on the command line. Working pretty nice. Though I don't really want to stream from youtube.

(starting at 44m25s but it looks like the mastodon inline player doesn't honour the start time parameter just yet)

@edsu I did yes - it's the only way I found but I'd also love to know of any alternatives. I also had to go through the indignity of installing ADE via Wine and figuring out how to get it working just to get the epub onto my machine to remove the DRM in the first place! What a shambles.

A thousand thank yous to the hackers, tinkerers and documentors out there that got me my legally purchased ebook onto my legally owned ebook reader, despite all the noxious DRM.  Heartening community effort.  Equal number of eff yous to the ruinous system responsible for Adobe Digital Editions.

@geniusmusing Will this affect F-Droid? (Which builds apps from source if I understand correctly.)

@thinkMoult @hyperlinkyourheart "Brutal and green" is just my description of the Barbican :) It's 60/70s brutalist architecture, lots of concrete, but due to liberal addition of foliage and water features, it's incredibly pleasant. It's a fantastic example of carefully architected social housing (that is sadly mostly now privately owned.)
