Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you've strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.

Most people who want it back don't need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.

Here's the simple facts:

SMS is not secure, or private.
Signal is for secure, private comms.

As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.

I understand you don’t and that’s fair enough, but simmer down a bit

I hung my hard drive from my rear view mirror. Looks pretty cool as a personal item on display but nobody I know can listen to the music that's on it - and, for fucks sake, nobody should dare disagree with my decision when I ask for opinions on a public forum.

My opinion is yours to adopt or discard. If my opinion is too hostile for you, you're looking for an echo chamber, and not discussion.

Yeah. I keep it clean on a shelf, and listen to it. It's the pinnacle of the vinyl experience

It's already a limited resource that people want to listen to, and taking one more off the market is abhorrent to me.

I don't mind seeing the sleeves, posters, and books on a wall, but seeing the actual vinyl locked away in a picture frame (or made into sunglasses/bowls/etc) pisses me off.

Did vinyljerk travel to the fediverse? If so, this post goes there.

No. I already fucked reddit, thanks.

lemmy.fmhy.ml

It was for the music in a linked game download, and owner decided to close up shop.

The lemmy.ml instance

And it feels so good! I hated how breaking in to the mobi files wrecked the formatting.

It's understandable that they wouldn't know much about other countries' history. Sad.. but I get it. Public education is slipping worldwide.

What's bothered me about discussion online for the last 10-15ish years (and it gets worse every year) is that people feel the urgent need to opine strongly on shit they don't understand - and that bluntly pointing that out is somehow frowned upon.

I long for the days when it was kosher for everyone to just tell them to shut the fuck up until they were ashamed enough to delete or recant.

Anyway.. Buongiorno!

Sys admins are already worked to death, so anything that can be done to simplify makes perfect sense.

Appreciate the correction! I haven't dealt with Amazon for e-books since I got my first Kobo reader 5-6 years ago, so I'm out of the loop.
