I mean all the plug-ins should work

“Blonde” was one of their early attempts at this. They know when the story is losing you so then they have a few minutes of Ana De Armas topless, fapping, etc to get your attention back.

My favorite sites for actual ebooks are Humble Bundle and Fantastic. But these are predominantly tech books. No idea where I’d get good fiction in epub today.

Addendum: that specific site is dog shit. Imagine thinking you just bought an ebook but instead you bought a lease to some DRM shit that only works on their app.

EPUB or GTFO.

I hear you saying that, but the books I want to buy are never on those sites.

Why do young people pop into a community that has been around for decades and wonder why the old people who built it are still around?

I’m looking forward to after all this mess is over, all of the felony charges that he’s going to get hit with just for what he’s been up to the past few weeks.

Let’s also remember that “U.S. officials” now describes MAGA flunkies that replaced actually qualified professionals.

Yeah I was just thinking… this is not at all how the tools work.

As someone who actually approves $$ for tech vendors in an American company, I can tell you that no matter how cheaply China-based services become, they still aren’t going to be seriously considered. Anthropic and OpenAI are based out of San Francisco. Legal jurisdiction to resolve contract disputes, breaches of confidentiality, etc. can be resolved in a fairly straightforward way between two American companies, especially when they are headquartered in the same court district.

Chinese companies exist inside of a legal safe harbor where they have less incentive to play by the rules, and a much lower risk of consequences for getting caught breaking them. The risk isn’t worth the perceived savings.

It’s going to impact American consumers a hell of a lot more.
