If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.

I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.

Bah, like the Romulans could do any better.

Arctic and Mlem for iOS.

Arctic is my primary, it was the first that I know of to include admin tools, the single developer is super accessible and on top of for resolving bugs and does a good job at supporting markdown both in the editor and the viewer.

Mlem is my backup if I need to access 2 different spots on the Lemmy-verse. It has a great viewer and interface but is missing a markdown editor.

For when you really want to set something on fire, but it’s just too far away.

I don’t inderstand, my phone knows that when I type stormloght, what I really mean is Stormlowght instead. (This happened yesterday)

Auto carrot is amazing.

You can eat anything, once.

Fiskars the blade company also makes Gerber products. The knives, not the Baby food.

This very reason is why I cut off both thumbs. Can’t force me to unlock my phone with my thumb print now. Checkmate, cops.

Less risk of computer viruses, higher risk of bird flu though.

I can still beat an AI at the 100 meter dash though. Suck on that AI.

/Also, I can climb stairs, I bet Chat GPT can’t do that!!

I love SwiftOnSecurity.

Because that’s how she’s told people she prefers to be called, that’s how she still brands her social media.

People respecting somebody else’s choice for how to refer to them is literally the example that is the worst for your argument.

This wiki page, not itself as an original source but as a collection of original papers in the references for you to peruse at your leisure is a great starting point. But your question is a bit like the “Did you know Aristotle never said ‘Thank You’? Mostly because he didn’t speak English.” Joke. You are expecting modern accommodations and language in texts from a different era that would have used unfamiliar forms or language like ancient Egypt that had a 3rd gender “sekhet”.

What’s up with people changing their names after marriage or adoption too‽

Why does everyone refer to her as Marie Curie instead of Maria Skłodowska? It’s just soo unnecessarily complicated to have to use a different name than the one assigned at birth.

We can remember it for you wholesale.

I knew I was going to get every downvote I got. He’s got an Elon Musk-like cult of personality in some tech spheres and even implying that he’s not 100% right will get dogpiled by white knights.

I had the same experience as you and there were at least a couple opportunities where I had close acquaintances that actually knew more about topics that were more outside of his wheelhouse who confirmed that he was just regurgitating things that were common misconceptions or “close, but not quite”-type inaccuracies but doing it as though he possessed absolute authority. I’ve even seen others try to correct him on those in the past when they knew more and his responses were not the way one responds when you’re actually interested in fact over the art of the diatribe.

I don’t have anything real negative against him and he’s definitely done quite a few things that end result in a positive improvement, but I’m also thinking he’d probably benefit from a bit more humility.

He always strikes me as the kind of person that confuses his moderately deep knowledge of a limited topic set with the type of thinking that makes him an over-confident expert on a much larger variety of topics. Like when economists start making declarations about climate change science.

Has anyone investigated the consequences of all the sunlight that’s leaked into the environment because of this disaster? What sort of clean up are we looking at and how long will it take?

I imagine it depends upon your phone and it’s support for USB drives, but I can use my kobo Libra and Clara directly connected to my iPad as a drive and drop the epubs and PDFs on it and have it recognize them.

There’s also a website that has released its code (so you can run your own) where I can push things through it via the Internet similar to send to Kindle.

There’s a whole bunch of other reasons that I think the Kobo has the current best eInk device having to do with its interface, but those that are more personal preference related and not the subject of your question. But I’m happy to share if you’d like.

And to think, they stared with an app to identify if something was a hot dog or not.
