So intense was the public’s reaction that more than one-third of Belgians with the surname Dutroux changed their names.

Wow.

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.

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.

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.

Pez will outlive us all

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

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.

In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.

This doesn’t affect me, but I’m sure there’s going to be a vocal tiny percent that absolutely hate this news.

Deycan’t believe it’s true.

Gonna have to disagree here. Messy beds are healthier because they get to air and so cool down and dry out. This is good because bacteria, fungi and dust mites like it warm and damp, and they can cause illness, asthma and allergies.

Yeah, that got old very quickly, although things like the old Reddit switcharoo* always got an upvote, but the original comment needed creativity and the stock reply needed to link the the previous example. It was cool that it was a different experience each time and that the network grew, occasionally branching, and had maintainers that made sure you could follow without hitting a deleted part dead end.

* after half a year I had to use a search engine to get the name

But here I wrote all of this, instead of just the word “This”

Yeah, this is a good topic. I can add a few:

Short term, pets in houses, farm animals, etc will need to escape and start fending for themselves otherwise they’ll starve (or dehydrate).. Oops, I’d somehow missed an entire paragraph of your post 🤦‍♂️ Sheep need us to trim their wool, because we’ve bred them up grow fair more than they need. They’ll get too hot if they don’t have problems with defecation first (an actual thing farmers have to worry about).

Medium to long term, when dams and dikes aren’t maintained they’ll eventually fail, flooding vast areas including the Netherlands.

I guess that the world will continue heating for a bit even once we’re gone, so we wouldn’t be around to theoretically use our tech to help. Obviously, we’re the reason it’s happening in the first place, but nature’s not equipped to deal with change that’s this rapid.

Ah, you mean a ninja edit. Yes, this should be allowed.

I just tested and it definitely isn’t.

I’d seen it in my Firefox/Win10 + uBlockO setup. I just used yt-dlp and then a uBlock “quick fixes” update recovery sorted it.

All the ones I actually want on my phone worked already, but this is still good news.

I’d seen someone calling all us Kagi fans shills which I thought was stupid at the time, but now I’m starting to see why they might think that.
