I found an excruciatingly manual method of extracting comics which I purchased, but it works well

To make it a lot simpler, a Discord user made a script (with the help of AI) which takes the scrambled .jpg image and the tag (e.g. 3,4,7,14,0,13,12,11,6,10,2,8,15,5,1,9) and then uses ImageMagick to unscramble that image. Then I may have to edit the image manually (the edges for example are not scrambled so I have to edit those in)

I’d love to share the script with those who use Honto and would benefit from it, just gotta know if it’s alright with this community


I’m doing my part in opting out of copyright because fuck capitalism

I’d be publishing written works in the public domain but I like to be attributed, so copyleft will do for now, it’s catchy



What “rights” are there in the first place? This measure hurts the customer in the long run


There are a couple of files, actually.

This is the root directory.

Then, I go to the epub directory.

META-INF contains these files...

...and item has these files.

image and xhtml folders have the same amount of files (137), but the former has them in the jpg format, while the latter has them in the xhtml format.

Sorry for haphazardly explaining it like this, I’m on mobile.


I purchased an ebook (two of them, actually) from some Japanese site called honto, but of course, stupid old me didn't realise that Digital Restrictions Management was going to make my life a living hell. Has anyone had any luck with cracking them, or did I just spend 730 Yen on a nothingburger? ![Link](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/dc0e965d-5ccb-4020-94c0-67dc8cdb3ef8.webp) Apparently, there are some local files on my phone from "doenloading" the ebook, but they won't load. In the browser I had a little more luck, but the images are scrambled when I attempt to "inspect element". What do I do? I really want to get this to work...

Actually I’m an X11 user. Also have an AyyMD APU


Do you mean Novideo?

Naw it’s a joke, don’t @ me please




Obviously I’m not the user you’ve replied to, but what about SUSE Enterprise Linux Desktop, for example? I’ve got an ISO, but can’t update because I need to have a subscription… Am I making stuff up or am I SOL?



Jamendo

I recently made a Jamendo account myself, and I already found an album to download (“Show it to your Mother” by Rusty Tea Makers). I find it easier to find music there than on FMA


I would argue that there are a few ways this phrase can be inverted: >No rights reserved Implies that the author waives all rights to his/her work (i.e. ultimately places it in the public domain) >All rights included I've seen this one in the context of royalty-free music being used in the commercial sense, where if you pay for the license, you can use that song anytime anywhere, with all rights to the song. This seems to be the opposite of "All rights reserved" which we should know by now what it means >Copyleft While not really a phrase, it is the opposite of copyright itself. Used primarily in software but maybe some other media can also be considered copyleft. As far as I'm aware, it has some ties with copyright itself (that you cannot remove attribution from the author, and, in case of software, must distribute it as is, without putting any restrictions yourself) There are probably more means other than what I've listed, and I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Never paid for a streaming service, never will (we’ll see if that changes when I get married)
