OH. MY. GOD. How did I not know there’s a Old Reddit style interface included in Lemmy???

Targeting Taiwanese, Tibetans and Uyghurs, you say? I bet it was really difficult to figure out who’s behind it.

Does this site really not support HTTPS? I’m just gonna assume that the author’s views on PHP are also stuck in 2005 then, like his website.

These articles always read as “bla bla bla fusion bla bla neutrinos bla bla zero environmental impact bla bla billion percent capacity improvement” and nothing ever seems to hit the shelves. We’ve had world changing breakthroughs in battery tech every single week for the last 30 years, it seems.

Thanks!

I host my own Tiny Tiny RSS (TT-RSS), but I’ve used the public instance of CommaFeed too, many years ago, before I started selfhosting.

I really like TT-RSS, especially with my own theme I made, but the container image I’m using now is outdated and has some problems, and if I want to upgrade I’ll have to switch image to the official one, and I won’t be able to simply migrate my data over, as TT-RSS has since dropped support for MySQL completely, so I’m considering just hosting Commafeed instead (since I have to start fresh anyway).

I prefer RSS readers that feel a bit like Google Reader (R.I.P. - Gone but not forgotten)

You can’t even buy working batteries for a most of the old phones I have in my drawer.

The idea is nice, but such a government program would either end up just shipping tons of broken electronics to third world countries, or spending more money testing old electronics compared to what it would cost to buy new cheap feature phones for people in those third world countries.

Learn how to use Docker. That’s gonna be a big help.

It’s a whole ordeal to get set up. There’s some plugins for Calibre, I believe one is called NoDRM and os is called De-DRM. Can’t remember which one I’m using or what the differences are.

From Google Play Books you can download the encrypted books (from the website on PC). You are supposed to use Adobe Digital Editions with your Google login to be able to read the encrypted/DRM-protected books on your PC. When you’ve set up Adobe Digital Editions, you can find a key file somewhere (can’t remember the location, you should be able to Google that) which you can use together with one of the plugins in Calibre. And that should normally be it.

That didn’t work for me though. So I found some other third party DRM removal tool, in which I logged in with my Google/Adobe Digital Editions account. It could then decrypt the books, but more importantly, it also made a key file somewhere, which i WAS able to use in Calibre. So now, with that key file, I can just drag the encrypted books directly into Calibre, and it decrypts them just fine.

It’s been several years, so I’ve probably forgotten or misremembered some details.

EDIT: By the way, there’s a time limit on decrypting the downloaded books, so download them from Google and decrypt them withing relatively short time (a few hours maybe, not sure). Don’t think you can just decrypt them whenever in the future.

Google Play Books, since I like their app a lot and don’t have to think about syncing across several device.

I buy my ebooks legally, but I also de-DRM them and keep them in Calibre. I guess that’s the least illegal way to pirate them.

Didn’t Mac use just CR line endings at some point?

It does not work on my OnePlus 7 at all. If I zoom it crashes, and I have to clear the app data to get it to work again. And if I just take a normal photo it just crashes while processing.

There’s not even a pinky swear. It’s not transactional in any way. It’s just a header you decide to send with every request. It’s the same as someone posting “I do not consent to Facebook harvesting data from my profile!” on their Facebook profile.

Ubuntu users fight Canonical all the time too.

Most of the problems I’ve experienced with Ubuntu recently were caused by Snap. I really hate that they insist shipping that buggy mess.

I’d like to recommend There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury too.

Incidentally, I have Pump Six and Other Stories by Paolo Bacigalupi on my reading list. I’ve heard good things.
