@internetarchive @joncamfield But if people start reading books they could start thinking. If current events show us anything, it is that no one wants people to think. @internetarchive @internetarchive I appreciate the effort to appeal to publishers, but wouldn't it be better to lobby Congress to amend copyright law to give libraries permission to engage in CDL? Microsoft has made OneDrive's automatic folder backup the default during Windows 11 setup, potentially leading users to quickly hit the 5 GB free storage limit and prompting upgrades to Microsoft 365 for more storage. @alternativeto This thing is such a pain, especially the way they trick you into thinking the onedrive folders are local ones. It's the main reason I insist on setting up my family member's new laptops. I even use onedrive, even for backups, but the official backup software is also way too basic. While we have been hard at work on our #Wayland porting efforts for our upcoming 10.10 release, we felt it important to ship a 10.9.x bug fix release to address some issues, as well as to make it easier for packagers to ship fixes without running the risk of introducing any of our larger Wayland-related changes.
