   Yes. I had Kindle DX (2010) and Kindle Paperwhite (~2016?). I still have and use Onyx Boox Air (2?). As X4 has no touchscreen layer and no backlight, the contrast is best. Resolution not as good as Boox, but no complaints there. The only do

   Onyx Boox will be releasing one soon ("Picco" AFAIR?). But they break GPL.

   I got an X4 (slightly larger model) less than 2 months ago and I already finished 9 books on it. It is always in my pocket and I started reaching for it instead of my phone during tiny moments of boredom. Sometimes it's just a few para

   I got it last week and I absolutely love it. There are just a two devices I've got in my life that I think are perfect. This is one of them, other being my Steam Deck. It is so small that I can actually carry it in my pocket all the ti

   I tried it on my Samsung phone. Keeps crashing, "recovery" just deletes everything and you start over from scratch. No session lasted more than 5 minutes.

   I've been a Kagi user for months now and was really looking forward to testing this. However, I cannot find the download link. The page does not really contain any information on an actual release. EDIT: I found this in the docs: >

    It is incredible how many addons I need to make YouTube usable. Here's my list (all Firefox): - uBlock Origin - ad block - SponsorBlock - to skip in video ads (some other nice features like highlights too) - YouTube Row Fixer - for the

    True, longer would be better. And if the platform was truly open, we could just treat phone like PCs. You can still install Linux on a 20 year old machine and it will work. At least this is 5 years from "the end of placement on the mar

    I agree that the platform should be open. I played with PostmarketOS on one of my old devices and I really wish I could just install Linux on my other devices to make it really usable for the years to come.

    I would absolutely pay for the development of an independent, open source, privacy oriented and user friendly browser. I would never pay for the shitshow the Mozilla Corporation is. I would find $5-$10 per month perfectly acceptable. For no

    I love the idea as I listen to a lot of podcasts and an occasional audiobook. The first impression is not that great. There's nothing natural about the voice. While individual words and phrases sound good, there's still no decent

    I had a look at COSMIC on Fedora [1]. It is fast, stable and usable, but feels little unfinished (it is an early version after all). It is not my cup of tea (maybe I am too comfortable with KDE Plasma 6), but I am glad that there's a n

    I would love to try it out on my Android tablet. Being able to run Linux with a real desktop browser and development environment would be really amazing.

    I use KDE Plasma 5.27 (6 with many improvements is around the corner) on Wayland and fractional scaling is handled very well, nothing is blurry, no hacks required. If KDE recognizes an app that is not Wayland compatible (like most Electron

    That's not the first story like this. It seems like more and more often the QA is done by users who have not signed up for it. Why can't a multibillion company do a proper QA?

    "Charity" made me chuckle. YouTube by itself had an exponentially growing revenue since first introducing ads. In 2022 the revenue was at almost $30 billion (maybe this will better show that amount: $30,000,000,000) [1]. So yeah,

    My personal opinion here. For a long time GDP and standard of living/well-being of a society have been correlated that people started to think that these are the same. These two are becoming more and more detached each year with progre
