Nope. Raw epub to reader and it doesn’t handle it.


Nope. Raw epub to reader and it doesn’t handle it.


I’ve tried that in the past, but it doesn’t seem to care how the epub is put on it, it always displays epubs horribly


I really don’t care. I’ve tried several different ways to get it to cooperate with epubs, and at a certain point it isn’t worth it when I already have a viable solution.


It’s a kindle D01100


My reader formats epubs really terribly, the text is almost always way too small, and requires some grotesque horizontal scrolling for most books.
On the other hand .txt just works, and handles resizing just fine


I’ve been using raw text files for my books, sent locally over USB, and that’s the way it’s gonna stay until my reader craps out


Raw fish in the air ducts is IMO a better choice


I’ve had contamination OCD for the majority of my life, and this shit has been torture for me.
I’ve been trying to get a ADA accommodation to work from home because my job is in software, but the bastards over at HR think that clorox wipes and a dedicated cube will solve this shit. It’s irritating as fuck that nobody in charge seems capable of piecing basic hygiene together.
The industrial revolution and it’s consequences type shit


Which end of the snipe goes where?


My mind was on the more practical idea of intervening on the ground.
But basically no-one, since it’s largely based on international law which is toothless.


At least not legally


People want houses, that doesn’t mean they want forests clear cut.
Similarly people want space exploration, that doesn’t mean they want to speedrun Kessler syndrome.
The infrastructure isn’t the only issue here. Its the fact that this is being done by a corporation owned by a nazi, with many other companies looking to compete. So instead of having one set of LEO satellites, we’ll have several.
If this was actually used to benefit humanity the light pollution caused by this would be understandable and minimized. But this isn’t being done in a sustainable way, or owned by the people.
And that’s all before considering the detrement to the environment from these satellites constantly burning up in the upper atmosphere.
And with all that said, this isn’t space exploration, and it isnt the type of space infrastructure that would aid exploration. Actual exploration doesn’t need thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of these tiny satellites aimed only at Earth.


Beautifully prompted

There’s a dude at work who has one and uses it for calls. He says it’s for travel, so he can have “bigger” monitors wherever he goes.
But he always has his camera on, and some AI filter that replaces his face so the headset doesn’t appear.
And it looks fucking awful. It’s at the lowest depths of the uncanny valley. It’s a facade that doesn’t blink right, that floats around, with a mouth that doesn’t match his speech. Its like it was designed to be off-putting.
Ok? I’m still going to read books as .txt files anyways, because it does so.
