Surely an author would want to actually allow a user to read the book they purchased on whatever device they want? It's convenient to be able to download it as a PDF, and might make it an easier sale if the user doesn't have to own a kindle or install the janky Kindle app.

But I suppose there's still the lingering fear of losing potential sales because a reader can just copy and share that PDF with his friends. It might keep some authors awake at night. The DRM does present a (not insurmountable) barrier to copying and sharing.

I'm not sure I buy the conclusion that this will potentially increase DRM use, though... if you're already selling a book without DRM, it would already be trivial for a reader to convert it from an AZW to PDF or Epub, this just saves that extra step.

On the one hand, Meta made openllama right? So maybe these guys will do some similar things. On the other hand, maybe the world is safer if they focus on ads and we can just trade up on potential hellscapes.

And a leader who decorates the Capitol with gold Wing-Dings.

Helping out dyslexic glaucomic crosseyed midgets who are using CRT monitors due to poverty sets off all their DEI alarms. They'll send out ICE out of sheer panic.

More like Wing Dings, the dude rambles incoherently.

Computer screens are too advanced for MAGAs. They want to read their parchment while having a leeching at the Alchemy Medical Institute and Witch Burning Center.

The best thing is, if you never go into the store, you'll never know! What a great scam. Bravo.

Whoever's idea it was to take the bars off capital "I" should be flogged. They are not serifs, they are bars, like a double-ended T. Floggem! Dig them back up and flog their bones if we have to. They generated centuries of confusion.

point well taken

Climate models are physics bases, and, to date, have been quite successful in predictions.
