Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.

Got it, appreciate the feedback! I actually tried the new Libra Color briefly and found the screen too hard to read without the backlight, wheras my Kindle I almost never use the backlight indoors. That said the Libra 2 was really nice and I may go back to it anyway.

Thanks yes I was looking at Boox but I really want it to be as not tablet-like as possible, and the battery thing would be a small hurdle for me. Kobo has some nice devices, I wish there was an updated sage as I don't really care about colors.

 

I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

Thinking about that engine room makes me want to be a Star Wars fan.

"Just keep on Lemmy. It feels like Reddit did 14 years ago."

For better or worse this really nails it. I also think it's a good reminder that when Reddit conquered Digg it happened over a six month period because there was like 100k users maybe total. There are so many more people involved with Reddit these days it's going to take literal years before Lemmy is anywhere near the same level in terms of MAU.

My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.

Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.

Fedora Kinoite.

  • You will basically never need the terminal.
  • Highly tweakable, but out of the box is very similar to windows
  • It's immutable (impossible to break)
  • App "store" makes sense and is not weird.
  • Extremely fast.
 

Note that r/coolguides is a very "normie" subreddit and may require extra handholding. There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand what "open source" means. Some looking for "The Lemmy app" etc. Be patient and helpful!
