As part of the International Day against DRM (“digital handcuffs”), on May 3th, 2016, April is republishing a video on the issue of e-books and DRM.

This day of protest is an opportunity to remember how dangerous these digital handcuffs are for free software users and developers alike, and how far they go toward restraining legitimate uses of works.

The e-book landscape has not changed much since last year, and the video we released a year ago today, to bring attention to the issue of DRM and e-books, is still very relevant, so we are republishing it, to mark the International Day against DRM.

DRM greatly reduces readers' rights, and is what makes an e-book different from a printed book in terms of user freedom. With a DRM-free e-book, the user has essentially the same rights as with printed books (the ability to lend them, to read them as many times as s/he wishes, anywhere, and on any device, etc.), while with a DRM-locked e-book, the user has but limited rights. Please view, share, and re-share this video, in support of computing freedom, and to help us continue to raise public awareness of the restrictions' insidious attacks on computer users' freedom.

And don't even try to fix a wobbly table with your e-book.

The video is in French with English sub-titles. Sub-titles : French, and English (SRT format).

dmenu is a dynamic menu for X, originally designed for dwm. It manages large numbers of user-defined menu items efficiently.

Set the number of rows using the menu option View → Freeze Rows.

We are the home of quality software such as dwm, dmenu, st and plenty of other tools, with a focus on simplicity, clarity and frugality. Our philosophy is about keeping things simple, minimal and usable. We believe this should become the mainstream philosophy in the IT sector. Unfortunately, the tendency for complex, error-prone and slow software seems to be prevalent in the present-day software industry. We intend to prove the opposite with our software projects.

Ingenious ideas are simple. Ingenious software is simple. Simplicity is the heart of the Unix philosophy. The more code lines you have removed, the more progress you have made. As the number of lines of code in your software shrinks, the more skilled you have become and the less your software sucks.

Uzbl is a lightweight webkit browser following the UNIX philosophy - to do one thing and do it well.

A popup window switcher roughly based on superswitcher. This version started off as a clone of simpleswitcher, the version from Sean Pringle. All credit for this great tool should go to him. Rofi developed extra features, like a run-dialog, ssh-launcher and can act as a drop-in dmenu replacement, making it a very versatile tool.

Remembering what CSS to prefix is hard. Today browsers develop quickly (yay) and things often change (boo). Preprocessors and mixin libraries are not always up to date.

This page has one purpose: simply show what prefixes are needed for a newer CSS property. Need more information? Check the awesome Can I Use or Autoprefixer!

Not only that, we can do one better by using vw and calc.

Simply set the width of the child elements to be 100% of the viewport width by using vw (percentage viewport units), and then set their left margin to a negative calculated value based on this, minus the width of the wrapper. Other than the optional max-width of the parent, everything else is calculated automatically. You can dynamically change the width of the parent container, and the children will automatically resize and align as needed, without being positioned.

Will automatically add closing tags when you complete the opening tag.
