@Fluse @dalias I don't think #Kindle works without an account. You'd have to manually download software updates and apply them yourself.
That's one of reasons why I chose #PocketBook
Since you already paid for those books, there's little reason to not look for them on https://annas-archive.org/ and save yourself the hassle of fighting with DRM

@dalias @mawhrin @neil extradition laws exist, and issuing fines over borders is also possible.

@famousringo @JessTheUnstill @SwiftOnSecurity it sounds like "Gauss cannon" does what you say, but I'm not convinced this solves the issue 🤔

@dysfun @dalias "mandatory" without consequences is only a suggestion

@dalias @dysfun doesn't that put the burden on you (and your $$$ lawyer) to prove it?
Also, incubation times make contact tracing a non obvious matter...

@feld @drwho oh? Why does it suck? I haven't looked closely myself, but from hearing about them it seemed to be the one to be on, that's why I'm curious.

@cwebber Second Secret Goblin doesn't judge, only nudges you to share hummus

@cwebber hey, First Secret Goblin popped up! Does it want to be petted, or does it want to bite me in the shin and steal my lunch?

@hakan_geijer I assume the source is LaTeX? From a quick search I didn't find a good way to make that into epub, though there are some mentions of using pandoc to convert, and there's https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/41402
I assume you're not particularly interested in changing what you write it in 😅
Yeah, epub is "just" zipped html, so the jump there would be small, and html would make it easier to read on whatever shape screen people happen to have

@hakan_geijer do you depend on the page format? Would it be possible to also have an epub version?

@galactus @rysiek @evan @Mushi
IIRC @mcc tried to run PDS, and you have to have *exactly* same version as main bluesky. You try to add your own modifications, it won't work. You fail to update at the same time they do, it won't work.

@louis @mekkaokereke @rasmus91 what got me is that he's doing equivalent of touch typing, most of the time he doesn't even look where the drums are

@solene thank you. I'll try that later, though flatpak has some assumptions and isolations.
It probably has a better chance of working for calibre than IMs, and for that someone suggested also other variables to try, specific to calibre

@solene with this in place at least Signal still puts the `.org.chromium.Chromium.XXXXXX` files in `/run/user/<uid>`

@solene sorry, where/how do I set that?

Annoying thing with #flatpak apps is that their temporary files go to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, which is a ramdisk created by systemd. Ramdisk created with very limited size, causing for example #Signal to fill it, or things to quite comically fail when #calibre tries to transfer a larger book to your device. And I haven't yet found a way to adjust the size of this ramdisk, and only an ugly hack to work around this.
#Linux #sysadmin

@lanodan @q66 @domi I've seen a monitor that gets video over USB-C, charges your laptop over same USB-C, and *itself* has ethernet, so you get wired connection, video, power by connecting just one cable, and have only monitor standing on the desk.

@lilithsaintcrow @cstross a lot is going to Nvidia.
I saw a comment how being a large shareholder in OpenAI and throwing money at it is a win-win for Microsoft: if it pays off, they get loads of money. If it doesn't pay off, all of it is running on Azure on normal commercial rules, and they get loads of money.

@lilithsaintcrow @cstross @daviddlevine you are directly affected.
I don't believe they are at the stage where they are making noticeable amount of money off of it, and rather getting funded in the hopes of it all becoming profitable at some point.
Kinda like Uber.

@mattly @Viss why is signal chat even worse legally?
