The Chrome browser exists to show you ads and track where you go so that Google can show you more ads. Please stop using Chrome. Firefox is open source, and while Mozilla is not perfect, it isn’t actively fucking evil the way Google is. It has a bazillion plugins, including various (FREE!) ad block plugins (I recommend uBlock Origins, which will even block YouTube ads – you can watch videos without interruptions again!). It will also function very effectively with a lot more tabs open than Chrome. I’ve got around 800 tabs open right now (not loaded, of course, except for maybe 2 dozen; it’s been a heavy browsing day), and my wife has between 2k and 3k at any time.

We are in the New Browser Wars. This time there’s a helluva lot of money up for grabs, because a lot of it is about running those ads. Monopolies are bad for consumers.

Just go download Firefox.

Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex

An engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world  that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what we can all learn about  desire and identity by using an ace lens to see the world What  exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through the  world not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about consent,  about compromise, about the structures of society? This exceedingly  accessible guide to asexuality shows that the issues that aces  face—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and  identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are conflicts  that all of us need to address as we move through the world. Through interviews, cultural criticism, and memoir, ACE invites all readers to consider big-picture issues through the lens of  asexuality, because every place that sexuality touches our world,  asexuality does too. Journalist Angela Chen uses her own journey  of self-discovery as an asexual person to unpretentiously educate and  vulnerably connect with readers, effortlessly weaving analysis of  sexuality and societally imposed norms with interviews of ace people.  Among those included are the woman who had blood tests done because she  was convinced that “not wanting sex” was a sign of serious illness, and  the man who grew up in an evangelical household and did everything  "right,“ only to realize after marriage that his experience of sexuality  had never been the same as that of others. Also represented are  disabled aces, aces of color, non-gender-conforming aces questioning  whether their asexuality is a reaction against stereotypes, and aces who  don’t want romantic relationships asking how our society can make room  for them.

Microsoft announces it will shut down ebook program and confiscate its customers' libraries

Microsoft has a DRM-locked ebook store that isn’t making enough money, so they’re shutting it down and taking away every book that every one of its customers acquired effective July 1.

Customers will receive refunds.

This puts the difference between DRM-locked media and unencumbered media into sharp contrast. I have bought a lot of MP3s over the years, thousands of them, and many of the retailers I purchased from are long gone, but I still have the MP3s. Likewise, I have bought many books from long-defunct booksellers and even defunct publishers, but I still own those books.

When I was a bookseller, nothing I could do would result in your losing the book that I sold you. If I regretted selling you a book, I didn’t get to break into your house and steal it, even if I left you a cash refund for the price you paid.

People sometimes treat me like my decision not to sell my books through Amazon’s Audible is irrational (Audible will not let writers or publisher opt to sell their books without DRM), but if you think Amazon is immune to this kind of shenanigans, you are sadly mistaken. My books matter a lot to me. I just paid $8,000 to have a container full of books shipped from a storage locker in the UK to our home in LA so I can be closer to them. The idea that the books I buy can be relegated to some kind of fucking software license is the most grotesque and awful thing I can imagine: if the publishing industry deliberately set out to destroy any sense of intrinsic, civilization-supporting value in literary works, they could not have done a better job.
