Great article! I was just bemoaning having to hack my kindle, my next ebook reader will definitely be more open.

My Kindle is significantly lighter than my phone which makes it easier to hold for long stretches. The screen is bigger and I can render the text a little larger without sacrificing too much.The screen doesn't produce light on it's own which reduces eyestrain. My Kindle has a warm nightlight which I hope helps me sleep better. The page turn buttons are better placed than the volume buttons

I've read for hundreds and hundreds of hours on both phone and Kindle and the Kindle is absolutely worth the cost for me (once it's hacked). I hope there are better and more open options available when it finally dies.

It's important to note a distinction here, maybe not a difference in kind but certainly a difference in degree, in attitude, in perspective.

You could argue all writing is propaganda. We take a slice of the world and distill it into words but we will always write from our own perspective. It is impossible to write from someone else's point view. All writing is a slice of the world, mangled and tainted with ourselves. Good writing cannot escape this, maybe it hews closer to the world, maybe it injects less of our opinions but it is always biased. The best writing often shows us the world from a viewpoint that enriches our own understanding.

There has never been writing on that website that strays so far from reality, that is so heavily injected with a very specific viewpoint. And it is a viewpoint that benefits very few of us. It does not enrich our understanding of the world, it frays and decays it. This is an important moment because we have never seen writing like this on these websites. There are laws written to prevent moments like this, but they have failed. It is a clear, obvious and direct signal that our institutions have given up on meaning, on the rule of law, and on the american dream. Sure, maybe we've always been a fascist country, but we have never, ever, been this fascist before. This is new territory for us and it is worth consideration.

I know this is a bot post but why not, I grabbed Megabonk and Loop Hero. Vampire Survivors is one of my favorite games and Megabonk looked like a fun remix of the idea. Also a big roguelike fan and Loop Hero looked like it might scratch the itch until Slay The Spire 2 drops. Haven't had time for either though since Hades 2 finally released and dear god I'm loving it.

Here it is ladies and gentlemen, naked protection of child molesters by over 200 duly elected officials.

hobbies, most of them still cost something but it varies and you can usually keep or re-sell the equipment, bonus points if you can find someone else to enjoy them with

is this where we blame the kids for doing what we told them and what worked for us?

I do think the golden one is the center of the maga hurricane and when the center falls the storm will falter, but make no mistake

Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line

Thought it was pretty clear, thumb out=ILY, thumb in=rock out

But regardless of interpretation, fuck maga
