I HIGHLY recommend Libro.fm , not only are they DRM free but you can chose a local bookshop to support with your purchases a lot like Bookshop.org (I only buy books online from them) and local bookshops.

(that's my referral link to Libro.fm, feel free not to use it - you earn books by referrals )

I haven't used any #microsoft or #Adobe products willingly in years and have been moving away from #google as well.

Il y a plein de facettes à ce projet, mais celle à laquelle j'ai contribué le plus est certainement OutDesign, un convertisseur universel de fichiers #InDesign, qui consiste en un lecteur de fichiers #IDML pour @pandoc.

En bref, OutDesign permet de libérer les fichiers InDesign d'#Adobe, qui ne propose normalement que très peu de formats d'exports pour se libérer de ce #jardinclos. OutDesign résoud ce problème, et le résultat direct de cela est la possibilité de lire le livre Déborder Bolloré en web, en EPUB, et de l'imprimer à la maison en A4 et en A5.

Has #adobe acrobat reader entirely abandoned any hope of being useful to anyone?

The enshittification of the large language models continues.

On top of its already extortionately expensive cloud plans, Adobe is now charging users for credits each time they use generative AI features:

"Generative credits allow the use of generative AI features powered by Firefly in the applications to which you are entitled. There is only one type of generative credit which can be used for Standard and Premium generative AI features. However, to use premium features, you must be on a plan with access to those features."

Imagine laying off actual human artists, designers, and photographers for this crap to save money.

Then having to pay an economic rent on top of your monthly subscription to big tech.

I'm generally extremely pleased with Adobe's Project Indigo, an iPhone camera app with lots of computational photography-boosted image quality goodness. But I will say, it is prone to crashing on my iPhone 14 Pro, and on a warm bike ride it gave me an overheating warning. #photography #Adobe
