Highways in the Netherlands? You mean a bike highway? /s

I disable notifications for most of my apps anyway, but the neural connections are still there and hard to undo. Breaking them is a long process in my experience… or maybe I reinforce them too much still.

That and the upgradeable storage… as soon as I can figure out how to solve my partition issues.

I got a secondhand Kobo on eBay for less than $100, almost in new condition (the seller just forgot to include the charging cable, but luckily I had plenty of spare micro-USB cables). It’s a 2018 model, but it has 8 GB of storage, plenty for most people, and a nice 6" 300 PPI screen with warm light and dark mode. It’s more than sufficient.

Point being, alternatives are out there. reMarkable and Boox aren’t exactly equivalent devices, since those are meant as more e-ink note-taking tablets, not dedicated e-readers. You could probably find a 2018 Kobo Clara HD for around $40-50 used nowadays as well… and it has more features than the equivalent 2018 Kindle.

Introductory, sure, but it’s still overly simplistic.

I never said I was free from a flawed ego. I might test out the name of a personal enemy, someone whose death I would hear about but not someone who would be on the news. Then, from there, it’d be easy to wield a strong sense of justice against those who have committed irrevocable harms and have gotten away with it.

So Zinn is to history what Diamond is to anthropology?

I love Tasting History. I’m really curious what he did with the pine nuts and how that comes across in the cheese…

This doesn’t seem to be a full episode, but I wish he’d do one!

I’ve wanted to play since I finished the show’s first season! I’ve heard mixed things about the PC port, so I’m curious to try it.

Kira’s downfall was his ego. So the user of the Death Note should be a selfless person, thinking about what the impact of this tool is on humanity and whether it can be used (and if so, how) for the betterment of humanity.

There are a number of ways…

Token math/systems-illiterate humanities person here, glad to be of service.

I’ve seen some authors I like on Mastodon, like William Gibson. It’s a quieter place but I like that about it, as someone who never used Twitter.

Well, Hangul was developed precisely with efficiency in mind. Maybe not for screens specifically, though.

Do you have any recommendations for learning more about Bazzite for such a use case?

As someone who owns neither but is impressed by this new boom in handhelds, I’m just happy that there are multiple options that are repairable and modular.

Agreed, it’s always a bit of a commitment to learn the options at first.

Bigotry thrives on ignorance. By coming out and speaking up, people are actively challenging a status quo that enables such ignorance.

You’ll sometimes notice this when a homophonic parent has to confront their own child coming out instead of just a bogeyman ‘other’. Not always, but occasionally, they’ll actually rethink their ingrained biases.

A 4090 is pretty great for playing Skyrim at 60 FPS, I’ll have you know.

This is a fantastic resource, bookmarked. Thank you.

I also wanted to add for buyers - PicClick is a fantastic resource for sorting through listings and auctions much more easily. It has various domains (.de, .com, etc.) so be sure to search for your local version.

Additionally, a somewhat specific question if you’re able to answer - I’ve been looking at bike locks and accessories on eBay. There are a ton of decent higher-end locks at steep discounts because of cosmetic scratches or scuffing. Would these still be as safe to use as a regular new retail item?
