Wait, does Kindle handle epub now?

Plausible deniability.

They already did, except you need to be willing to install a proprietary Apple application. Still a de facto data ransom.

"An American company" means very little when they operate outside of America.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense! I didn't consider all these other possibilities.

Sounds weird to me as both can be used for the general creepiness and both allow blocking people if needed. I just don't see the benefit of one over the other here.

EDIT: The other comment explained it to me, I understand it now.

For example if I meet a woman I like, it’s infinitely more socially acceptable to ask for her instagram than it is for her number after meeting.

Is this really a thing now? Any idea why it's considered more acceptable? It's definitely not a thing in my social circles and it got me curious.

Yes, I believe you're correct in terms of them being within their rights to do so. I'm just not aware of them ever actually pulling this trigger, but they technically can.

I have dozens of games in my library that are no longer available to purchase. Often these are games with expired music copyright, though some just removed the music in an update instead. I don't remember a single withdrawn game that would get removed from my library.

Good point, yes, that's an exception. A justified one if you'd ask me but I guess YMMV.

That's definitely how it works with games on Steam or GOG.

My point was that I don't feel being in a community with every man in existence, and likewise I see no point to limit a community to a specific gender, especially in this day and age. "We don't know you, it's the first time I see you" is a valid reason for not considering someone a part of a community (yet) on a fair presumably meant for already established members. "You're a man, go away" just isn't.

Also, since you seem determined to give only brief one-liners in response, I have no interest in continuing this conversation with you.

Quite a bold statement after a single reply from me. Did we have some similar interaction beforehand elsewhere? I usually don't pay much attention to nicknames, so apologies if by chance it was a repeated occurrence.
