Louis Rossmann on The World Going to Hell in A Shopping Cart

Amazon are going to prevent people downloading Kindle ebooks which means that you cannot be sure that you are reading the same text you read before on a Kindle. It also means that authors can have their works changed after they were published, even after they have died! See this paywalled story in The Times Roald Dahl ebooks ‘force censored versions on readers’ despite backlash: Puffin announces plans to publish a classic collection as it emerges online libraries are being automatically updated with sensitivity changes. See also this Guardian story Roald Dahl publisher announces unaltered 16-book ‘classics collection’ Series will be released alongside controversially amended versions to leave readers ‘free to choose which version they prefer’. Both of these were from February 2023.


It is totally fucked up. There is a yawning chasm between the legislative rights and the actual technology that's being used. See Louis Rossmann is the US FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection and the CAT Wiki at https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/.

I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...
