  • How to make an Amazon-free Kindle

    Jump

  • Not sure when things changed but all I know is that when I bought mine years ago the Kobo site redirected me to Walmart and that's where I had to buy it. My e-reader even displays the Walmart logo on it when I power it off.

  • Kobo was sold exclusively through Walmart in the US (at least when I bought my Kobo). I think they recently ended the partnership.

  • US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding

    Jump

  • I've always felt that we support Israel for the same reason we support Ukraine. They're a friendly military force located in a region of the world where we have enemies. Ukraine helps counter Russia and the same for Israel during the Soviet Union era. Now Israel is a counter to Iran and various terrorist groups.

    That describes 90% of the businesses I shop at.

  • The joke is so obvious there's no need to comment on it so others, including myself, are using this as an opportunity to post our opinions on the difference between sci-fi and fantasy.

  • I would argue that science fiction and fantasy are the same thing and the only difference is the explanation for how all the cool stuff works.

    Functionally, there's no real difference between a portal that takes the characters to another world using a wormhole and one that does it through through magic. Just like how there's no difference between Vulcans/Klingons/Wookies and Elves/Dwarves/Beastmen. Both are intelligent non-humans.

  • They think when the chaos hits they'll be the ones climbing the ladder instead of the ones being used as a ladder.

  • I could be entirely wrong about this but isn't it in-universe lore that Elves don't see the curvature of the world and that's how they can see so far?

  • First time I hear about the Boox Palma, a phone-sized E-reader with Android and the Play Store, does anyone have it?

    Jump

  • I don't know how relevant this is to you but I was looking at getting a Boox since it would easily let me read my Kindle and Kobo books on a single device without any hassle. However, it achieves this by running their apps so the books are segregated. There's no one library with all your books. Your Kindle books are only on the Kindle app, your Kobo books are only on the Kobo app, your library books are only on the Libby app.

    It sounded really tedious to have to flip between a bunch of different apps to track all my books so I decided to just stick with Kobo.

  • Russia is barely using one of its best weapons against Ukrainian forces in Kursk because it's scared to hit itself, war expert says

    Jump

  • If I was a corrupt Russian general, embezzling funds meant for nuclear deterrence upkeep would be a pretty safe bet since they are the weapons least likely to ever be used and thus least likely to be found out.

  • I got a new job. whatsapp group (20 people) is migrating to signal because I don't use it.

  • That's exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

  • Never store gerbils up your ass, we went over this!

  • I thought it said "his shole had teeth" and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

  • I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn't on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

    I'm likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

  • This is what I'm going to have to do as well since my computer isn't compatible with Win11. The only thing I'm worried about is gaming.

  • I didn't realize you could put the steam deck to sleep with a game still running. I had assumed it would cause game issues.
