As soon as I saw the logo the theme song played in my head.

I’ve found the quality on Gutenberg varies massively - since an epub is basically a zipped html file, I’ve had plenty that are just barely-converted text files, with problems like incorrect character encoding and that everything’s one big chapter.

Yup, roadie wrap those cables and maintain things well.

My laptop is nine years old and has done more travelling than most people and has been used at the beach, on boats and near a waterfall. It’s needed new memory, the spinning drive replacing/upgrading to SSD and a new battery but I’ve never cared about cosmetic damage. It’s also clean, because that’s part of maintenance.

My Kindle looks like the end of Rocky II.

Maybe! I checked the Amazon update page and it looks like older models aren’t getting the update. Lucky you.

Unfortunately, just before that video aired Amazon broke jailbreaking with their 5.18.1 update (both for existing and new jailbreakers). WinterBreak is broken. Hopefully it can be worked around, but my guess will be that it’s not going to be possible again.

I’m going to get a Kobo Clara BW and use Koreader on there.

Tech is a tool to me and tools shouldn’t be pristine and unused.

My criticism would be that there’s no cuticle, but if it’s 100% realism you’re after then I guess that’s not top of the list…

Can’t stand it in my ass (Mungo’s Hi Fi)

It was a Flash animation originally. Many of his animations looped, but some of them had the issue that the sound and imagery weren’t exactly the same length, so would go out of sync as it repeated.

edit: Here’s the original hosted on the Internet Archive, running on the Ruffle emulator: https://archive.org/details/flash_badger

I’ve researched this and I’ll be buying a Kobo once my Kindle finally dies (it’s lived a hard life). I’ve bought DRMed books from some non-Amazon sources and had to go through the steps to strip their DRM so I could read them on the Kindle - this was using Calibre. Mostly those other sources were using Adobe Digital Editions (DeDRM can handle it).

I have yet to find if there’s a self-hosted option that would replicate what Amazon does - i.e. tracks read position and lets you download and read via an Android app or a website. I do have Calibre-web set up, but haven’t fully looked into what it can do yet.

Wow, the quality of those “drawings” is amazing. I’m guessing these don’t get published five times a week.

That’s amazing. I’d love to hear from one of the audience about how they found the experience.

Pez will outlive us all

Looks like the autolinking misses the ! at the end of your link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hover!

I’m glad they asked, because now the answer is here for all of us without each having to research the answer.

What a cute little Firefox

I hadn’t heard that, so I looked it up. It’s true, although it was every six months, not three, and California has closed that loophole now (dealers now issue and register temporary plates for new sales). I didn’t see anything saying he’d parked in handicapped spots outside of the Apple car park.

I was on a site that did that and was confused why my text search wasn’t finding much. Thanks devs for breaking basic browser features.

I had to edit mine because I forgot the format and “corrected” you to @[email protected]
