I wonder how feasible it would be to just donate to your favorite authors

I use a kobo e-reader and it works a treat. Looks and feels good, and can load any ol downloaded epub book without issue with Calibre.

I was thinking along the lines of if you already had them downloaded and wanted to switch off to something else

My Kobo e-reader is pretty nice and takes any ol e-pub file just fine. And Calibre, a third party software for managing ebooks, has a plugin to crack Kindle files. Just sayin

I’ve got a kobo Clara HD with plenty of pirated books on it, works pretty well, would recommend

Massage them…?

I would at least like to know if it’s a problem so I can take appropriate personal precautions. Sure I don’t need a running death count every day like we had during Covid but just like “this thing is out there, here’s what you can do”

So the “easier” solution is to tear the entire thing down and make something new from scratch? Seems like it’d be far, far harder to do that

So the answer isn’t simply “Abolish capitalism” the answer is actually “Capitalism but with logical rules and regulations”

I mean, tipping culture only seems to be a problem in the US. Countries in Europe and what have you are fine and they are still capitalist.

The stats seem to indicate that English is the most spoken language still, though Mandarin wins on first language speakers by far which makes sense.

I don’t see Mandarin taking over English as the default language, so to speak. Mainly because it’s way easier for people who know languages like Spanish, German, other European languages to pick up English as a second language then it would be for them to learn Chinese or another Asian one.

Twitters value has already been going down the shitter thanks to shit leadership, this is just another nail.

Don’t they put the blood back in you after taking the plasma out of it?

Oh no! Anyway…

I don’t know why we’re blaming AI when it’s power generation not transitioning fast enough that’s the problem…

If wind, solar, nuclear was widely available this would be a non issue.

That’s every gacha game ever.

At the end of the day, networking specialists are in the minority by a considerable degree

AI as we know it does have its uses, but I would definitely agree that 90% of it is just marketing hype
