It’s a joke that the long-haired person might be trans and had their testicles removed previously.

I’m not sure that was the original joke, but works quite well.

I agree on the outdated UI, but at least it gives you a ton of options that official apps would never allow you, or babysit you too much to offer.

I’ve literally used Calibre 2-3 times, and while the UI seemed daunting at first, it was logical and did did its job quite fast when figured out. And I usually don’t need to use it afterwards for another long period.

Good luck doing that to my 2012 5th gen Kindle that’s been off the update schedule for an eternity.

Plenty of 4k with HDR on Real Debrid. Or even better quality and bitrate ripped from BRs, in the open waters.

This seems like the most likely intended consequence to me. They probably know their userbase well, and actual humans declining aren’t gonna be swayed to stay by a price hike. Those bots, on the other hand…

Yeah, keep X on and pile up the multi-million fines if they don’t comply with laws. That’s the only thing companies care about - something eating up their profits.

And if they keep not complying - then ban it altogether, like Brazil did. I prefer to recognize and ban it for the illegal activities it does, not because some folks don’t like it and banded together against it.
