"How queer!" he thinks to himself, and takes it upon himself to fix this book. So, he finds another copy of the book, scans those three pages, prints them out at *just* the right size, and attaches them to the library book. when finished reading the book, he returns it to the library without mentioning his good deed. if this action he performed is to be considered legal, then it should be considered a transition of the medium that the media was inscribed upon. Similarly, if the book was digital, and inscribed upon the owner's hard drive using magnetic storage of zeroes and ones, would it be legal to repair said book if one of the many .txt file chapters were missing? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/1266 ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: weed - ama │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-907 how does the music sound? want me to help you setup a visualizer? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┐ ║ -> file: fediverse/3969 │ ║ │ ║ there are very few professions that are naturally more suited to a schizophrenic │ ║ than a normal person. │ ║ │ ║ One of them is beggar, another is prophet, and a third is "massive │ ║ disappointment" but that comes with the territory. │ ║ │ ║ *have you considered that maybe you're just a loser* │ ║ │ ║ yes I have and I decided that all I can do is my best, and if my best loses then │ ║ what else could I have done?
