F**k Amazon, part 2 (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 week ago by Feeee23@lemmy.world to c/books@lemmy.world

Don't throw away your Kindle, Jailbreak it and take back ownership. Make your Kindle even better with KoReader and other apps. If you wanna see whats possible i recomment this Yt video. If you wanna get started here are all instructions: https://kindlemodding.org/ Don't let it scare you it seems complicated but its just a lot of (easy) steps. So definitely possible in <2h.

is that super racist cartoon the best image to use for right to repair?

Happy to hear you out and I didn't downvote, but I'm not sure how it's racist. The original cartoon doesn't seem racist (though Bugs Bunny has plenty of that in other cartoons) and I'm not sure how this frame could be taken that way otherwise.

I don't understand what the image is trying to convey anyway (though agree with the premise of Amazon-fucking).

Amazon still wants to retain a sense of ownership of their Kindle devices, despite it being the user who one who bought and owns it.

It's a similar idea (albeit corrupt) idea to communism, where you don't own anything, as everyone owns it. (there's a USSR emblem in the corner, signifying the meme has an oppressive communistic feel about the subject)
