Ah, URL shorteners, my greatest enemy
The URL you want is this, just remove the space after the https:
https:// archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1
Hey everyone, want to borrow ebooks from archive.org on YOUR terms?
Here's a method I came up with using Calibre, on all platforms where it's supported.
1. Install the DeACSM and DeDRM plugins into Calibre
2. In the plugin preferences, configure DeACSM and set up anonymous authorization, then export the encryption key and import it into DeDRM's ADE keys
3. Restart Calibre! This is important!
4. On archive.org, find the book you want to borrow and loan it out
5a. If you can borrow it for two weeks, do that and download it in the format you prefer
5b. If you can only borrow it for an hour or it doesn't give you a download, borrow it anyway, then copy the identifier in the metadata, add it to the following URL: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1 and download that (you can also change the format to epub or similar but it may not always be available)
6. Add the ACSM file to Calibre and it'll download it and then decrypt it for you
7. Be sure to return the book so other people can use it right away!
Happy reading!

daily reminder that you can *always* talk about your compensation with your coworkers. It's legally protected. If a boss tells you otherwise, it's time to turn tail and/or get them in trouble for labor violations~

@junebug Yeah, better to just try and Get Shit Done at this point, the window to fix it keeps shrinking
@D6016 cutie detected!
@Runner how about I do a pirouette right into lämp
@Runner "Do an aileron roll" sounds so much less interesting though
"The trans Pride flag has been planted on the peak of Antarctica’s highest mountain, Vinson Massif, by trans climber Erin Parisi.
Dedicating her achievement to 'the resilience of the trans community' that 'took me in when I had no hope', Parisi said trans people 'showed me that it’s better to be visible and free, than live in self-imposed exile, and that stigma withers when we visibly embrace our truth'"
