On my Paperwhite from 2018, the battery life is better on KOReader than on Amazon’s firmware.

I use it on my Kindle and I love it. I can use better and more dictionaries, the controls are ergonomic and customizable, I can easily override the font so that every ebook looks exactly the same. It supports epub and with it my Kindle is faster, the battery lasts longer and it supports dark mode on an old model while Amazon officially doesn’t. Amazing software all around!

Ecosia is a non-profit, so being profitable is not their mission. Each month they publish a breakdown of their expenses and donations. In January they got around 4 million euros, so I’d say they are certainly successful at what they do.

As a stylistic note, it’s funny that philosophy graduates often can’t help but mention that they are one at every opportunity they have, as if that carried a particular a certain intellectual prestige. They do that while perhaps missing the point: a critical mind does not need to announce its status and does not rely on declarations of prestige to be one.

It’s also funny how a marvelously rational philosophy graduate can then support the most banal moral positions. The life of the mind is quite something.

Sometimes the writing itself is a guide for the mind of the reader, and the indirect path prose can take is part of the message.

Not everything has to be written in digestible snippets of text.

While you're definitely right about it having a steep learning curve, it's also true that not many RAW editors do what Darktable does. Darktable aims at serving advanced, tecnically-minded users. It's complicated, but in a way, it's nice it is, for those who need it.

Still happens to me when using software that is GPU intensive, like Blender. When I drag a slider, I hear the buzzing of the GPU.

They’ve been there for a long while, I don’t think they’re new.

After being a user for a long while, my enthusiasm for Kagi has decreased. Their UI is lovely, but I feel in the end they are just repackaging other indexers. I’ve started using Google + Ublacklist and for me it works the same. I also don’t like how much they have focused on AI, given even their Quick Answer, when it’s wrong, it does so with such confidence it makes the tool quite untrustworthy.

There is a certain justice in the use of OpenAI as a name for their product, given that OpenAI has turned the generic technical GPT name into a brand.

Thank you for your work. While looking for references of past artifacts, this website has been so valuable.

Sorry, but I don’t think families who escaped in those times were exactly just innocent property owners.

I wish this worked on Windows too. In general, I'd love to see all those lovely GTK4 apps on Windows, they look so nice.
