Yeah, reddit just isn’t as free as I thought it was.

I don’t know why that image comes up either, I posted this via boost for Lemmy. I’m pretty new at posting to social media.
I use computers for a bit of entertainment, but I’ve taken a turn to rediscovering the internet, it took reddit going south for that to happen though. I’m actually reading these nicely written articles on the Geminisphere I think there’s too much on the internet now, its flooded with low quality stuff, I am finding the reason I came to the internet was the long well written dialogs!
I thought it was a cute little robot, with some important general info that AI is mainly just made up of comments like yours or mine. The post on mastodon said I could use it as a profile pic so uh, that’s why its my picture. I’m human.
This made me chuckle.
I want Linux to succeed, and be the competition to Windows, so I deal with these “downsides” honestly, the limits in my theory, cause me to only purchase good hardware and software.
Is the mainstream even what should be targeted? I’m reading comments on how people are actually getting worse at using computers.
Okay I edited the post and changed the link, tell me If I was successful!
I was trying to link to Battleforlibraries but I failed, it’s my first lemmy post
C’mon it’s at least worth a shot. To me at least.
Another excerpt under why from the FAQ section
**The Internet Archive has been scanning millions of print books that they own, and loaning them out to anyone around the world, for free. Other libraries like the Boston Public Library are using the same process to make digital books too.
This is happening because major publishers offer no option for libraries to permanently purchase digital books and carry out their traditional role of preservation.
Instead, libraries are forced to pay high licensing fees to “rent” books from big tech vendors that regard patron privacy as a premium feature and are vulnerable to censorship from book banners. Under this regime, publishers act as malicious gatekeepers, preventing the free flow of information and undermining libraries’ ability to serve their patrons.
But it looks bad if publishers sue the Boston Public Library. So instead, they’ve launched an attack on a groundbreaking nonprofit, including a lawsuit with clear repercussions for every library in the US. On March 24, 2023, a lower court judge issued a ruling that stated the profits of big media companies are more important than the right of libraries to preserve our history and ensure it’s available to the world. Then, in a copyright troll move for the ages, the same attorney representing Big Publishing filed a second absurd lawsuit against the Internet Archive for it’s research library of old music recordings.
Nevertheless, the Internet Archive are appealing to a higher court and will keep fighting for the digital rights of libraries.**

This one pertains to the lawsuits.
The nonprofit Internet Archive is appealing a judgment that threatens the future of all libraries. Big publishers are suing to cut off libraries’ ownership and control of digital books, opening new paths for digital book bans and dangerous surveillance.
