No one will shed a single tear for you, greedy bastards.

Website changed, but it is still out there.

Edit: syntax

Okay, yeah, that is definitely concerning.

There are no ads on my Kindle.

After the feature of being able to send EPUB files to Kindle through email and them being automatically converted… I have not felt I was missing anything by using standard Kindle software.

So I’d suggest, unless you really really need some obscure feature, Calibre+Kindle is nowadays perfectly fine, and maybe you shouldn’t risk bricking your device.

Is there any benefit to that aside from cleanliness?

Most “normal” programs use some “abstraction” libraries, so the programmer doesn’t need to know which platform it is running on. This “platform” is important because it is the layer that actually talks to things like your SSD, RAM, GPU, etc.

Videogames, tho, are very very specific programs that really benefit from very optimized code, so some of these “abstraction” libraries simply will be worked on for a specific operative system.

Thankfully, the people from the WINE project and lots of work from Valve themselves have made it possible to “trick” these libraries into thinking they are talking to Windows. It’s not perfect, tho, so some stuff is still not working, but you’d be surprised how much we’ve got already. Check out the ProtonDB project.

I find it funny when people around me think I am a computer expert and I just tried to read this and couldn’t comprehend sh*t.

I knowwww

Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!

How does it hold up against Ardour?

Yes, actually, one of the preinstalled themes is activated. Normally you have to pick the option that says something along the lines of “don’t use themes” inside Tools/Preferences/LibreOffice/Application_Colors or something (depends on the language). That would make the desktop theme apply properly over LibreOffice.

You might need to reboot LibreOffice to see the changes take effect.

Been using BTRFS since I learned I could squeeze more data on my cheap-ass drive and… It’s been 3 years, no problem at all, and I have backups anyway.

Minor upgrades don’t usually come to Debian at all, unless they are fixing some critical vulnerability or something, but that is usually patched over the previous version anyway.

I’m a cheap guy, and honestly I got the cheapest Kindle (I believe 2022) and I’ve been reading books from Calibre without issues.

No other e-reader was as cheap as that, and it… Just works.

Finding activities and hobbies that align with your values and make you groe.

Yes, mindless hobbies are also fine, but for me, participating in local FOSS communities and the like makes it a very fulfilling activity, and a way to learn more things.

If you are a student, you should be able to organize with some of your classmates or friends.

Also, maybe consider LanguageTool instead of Grammarly, at least it’s not fully closed source.

The Hyperloop still hasn’t happened in an age where we can grab rockets from the sky.

It was just a great idea to stop development of high-speed rail so cars could still make sense for longer.

Hopefully USA seems to be realising already: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/22/hyperloop-one-elon-musk-high-speed-rail/

😅 thank you!! Following ISO 8601 is always appreciated.
