Amazon will let you drop DRM on their e-books, and just download epubs!? According to @alternativeto. I trust them, but I just can't wrap my head around this. How, why, what!?
Have you said anything about this yet, @pluralistic?

DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: https://u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM

Printer DRM update.
So, it turns out that my printer is no longer eligible for frimware upgrades. The current firmware can no longer phone home (uses outdated TLS). Since it cannot phone home, it cannot use my subscription-based (DRM) cartridges.
My choices to stay in the same ecosystem are:
- Buy new DRM-free cartridges
- Buy a new printer with newer firmware
I chose to leave the entire ecosystem, cuz DRM.
