They got me!

My guess is that if it ever does go to court that N’s argument will be that you don’t own the keys.

Have you used Koreader? That’s one reason I would get a kobo. As well as their new partnership with ifixit.

I also like the idea (which apparently doesn’t work with koreader) of syncing with Pocket. I don’t use Pocket, but would start if it meant I had a nice read it later ereader.

My understanding is that M4 is very efficient, and I would imagine that its energy use on sleep is negligible.

And as for affordability, I think the M4 Mac mini is supposed to be a terrific deal, no? As long as you use the base specs.

What does kobo do that kindle doesn’t? I’ve been thinking about switching since I damaged my kindle, but calibre works great and I love the kindle hardware.

If those button combos seem strange, on an SNES controller those are opposite directions on each pad. E.g. Y is the leftmost face button.

I thought Spotify gave shite royalties.

I only ever beat it with a friend in 2 player. He really carried me, it probably would have been much easier for him in 1P!

I’m a teacher and I have a USB stick full of textbook PDFs. It wouldn’t be cool to email them on my professional account but sneakernet is the ultimate VPN lol

Makes me wonder what has been lost to the trash already.

I have a collection of music videos organized by artist. I have absolutely no idea where I got them from… I forget how I did it and it kills me. I wish I could remember how I set it up - they seem to be better quality than YouTube and only recently got into ytdlp.

If I remember then I’ll post it on here.

Anyone who has had to troubleshoot anything Windows related knows just how useless anything from a Microsoft website is.

What is the value in federating Nextcloud instances? Sharing calendar info and stuff like that?

THPS.

I often tell my students “whatever you do, don’t go to libgen dot rs to download our textbook illegally. You’re gonna want to avoid Anna’s archive as well. You really want to steer clear from these malicious websites.”

Great review of several high end mice, wired and wireless. He found no correlation between wires and latency. Ultimately, he concludes that the most important properties of the mouse are weight and feel.

I don’t like the feeling of the cable dragging on the desk. Or the cable snagging on the monitor stand, or anything else on the desk.

I also prefer the aesthetics of a wireless mouse. One less cable to manage. The charge cable is tucked away and only comes out every week or so to charge overnight.

Yeah, my keyboard has a cable but my keyboard doesn’t move, and it’s a pretty sexy (and heavy) cable so it’s different than a mouse cable.

As for latency, from what I understand in many cases a wireless mouse can have less latency than some wired mice. So that’s nice too.

I guess the main downside is weight but that has never bothered me. That said, I’m not a competitive fps player, but even so some wireless mice are quite light.

I prefer turning off all the breakers in my house, but whatever floats your boat!

Yeah. To be specific, you wouldn’t want people to donate and expect a specific service. Or worse, donate in exchange for their site whitelisted.

Exact same over here. I don’t want an online account. I just don’t. I never will. I’d used Linux desktop a few times in the past but gaming was always bringing me back to windows. Finally my windows machine broke for no reason and after weeks of not being able to fix it I just installed Linux on top of it. Haven’t considered going back.
