Oh nice! Yeah this is 100% the best way to go. I use the app Mihon for finding/reading manga, its basically the same as tachiyomi before it got shut down.

The one I use is the Boox 7.8" Nova Air2 eReader. I chose one without a color screen. The color screens are cool and all, but for black and white content, the color layer makes the white more of a grey color. For that reason I don’t recommend the color e ink quite yet.

The 7.8" screen is literally the perfect size for manga. It feels perfect.

Good luck!

I just got a boox e ink tablet. It runs android. I have a sideloaded manga reading app and Google books installed. epub books (found easily on Yandex) can be uploaded to Google books from my phone.

I love it.

So I just watched the clip. Granted the clip was only a few seconds, and yes I believe he is old and senile. But.

The clip doesn’t seem to give evidence of anything specific. He might have to pee for all we know.

“ugh just use a normal browser”

I’m currently using safari on a MacBook. Way more power efficient than chrome.

Maybe? I’m not sure if we want to pretend the fascists are on equal footing as the ones that actually believe in democracy. Good and evil do exist, and we should deplatform the evil

Not all AI is an LLM. So yes.

YouTube is the only streaming platform I pay for. I don’t want to bother with 3rd party apps, and I use it every day. Plus I get YouTube music out of it, so I don’t need to pay for Spotify. Overall 7/10 it’s fine.

No judgements toward people who don’t want to pay though, I get it.

Lolllll found it. https://youtu.be/cZ0qpPTH1ow?si=b17mHt0cXsDWK1O_

Got it, so you are enabling Trump

Then realize that YouTube was losing billions every year for over a decade, and that their current model is the only way it can be profitable for them 😅

I’m curious, could you elaborate on what this means and what it would accomplish if successful?

Can you imagine how exciting it would be though when this actually started to work? This probably started as a side project, with a dude saying like, nahhh this could never work.

Until suddenly it did

If I have mastodon, how and when can I follow Blue sky users? I read something about an adapter server or something, but I don’t know what that means in a practical sense.

200 sounds like a big number, but out of how many? Is this 1%, 10%? Numbers like this without their context are kind of meaningless.

I use proton VPN for torrenting. It doesn’t show I’ve downloaded anything. I think that means my VPN is working? 😅

The people here who 1) think a breakup of Google will actually happen, and 2) think that a paid subscription model for a search engine have all been spending too much time in their Linux bubble.

If Google did this, everyone would just switch to Bing, or open AI’s new thing they are making. The general public will not be on board with that.

Incredible work. This is indeed buried treasure.

When people say things like this, I wonder if they understand how impossible it is. Google is not just a company. It is a 2 trillion dollar entity. Even if Google search entirely fails, it will still persist. At this point, you may as well say, “The wind needs to be ended.” You don’t end the wind. The wind already won. It will outlive you, me, and our children.

What we can do is protect against it. We can deal with it. We can contain it. We can redirect it and repurpose it to be helpful. But ending it? That doesn’t happen.

Is China’s reduction in birth rate caused by the same thing? Or Germany’s? I’m just saying, this seems to be a phenomenon of wealth and prosperity, not any specific coordinated effort.

As for multiculturalism… My opinion there is it’s all relative. Technically the land belongs to the native Americans. Europeans are the new culture.

Interestingly, the majority of Canada’s new incoming non permanent immigrants appear to be from Ukrainian, another European country, to escape the war.
