You mean whether a squatter can legally invite them in?

Yep, it's going steadily downhill. New bugs introduced, old ones unfixed.

I've moved to Liftoff for now, which is nice. As soon as Sync is available, I'll be there.

I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don't fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I'd like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it's getting a bit small.

Yeah battery life was my prime use case, and since I really don't do anything but reading on the kindle, I haven't yet come across any potentially missing feature. Didn't they also serve ads at some point? I feel like if the kindle is disconnected from the internet for >30 days, the cached ads expire and that's that.

For non-fiction and notes taking I'm using the reMarkable 2, that's honestly a game changer. And it displays books in large enough size to view unmodified pdfs.

No mods required whatsoever, just get your ebooks in whichever format you can and then use https://calibre-ebook.com/ to convert them to .mobi and copy them over via cable. If possible, avoid pdf's - they can be converted, but it often looks shit. EPUB on the other hand converts with zero loss, and that's the most common format on libgen.rs and other ebook sites. If MOBI is available right away, just go for that of course. Conversion takes mere seconds though.

Since I don't buy any ebooks from Amazon directly, I've set my kindle to flight mode right after the initial setup and haven't switched it back on in over 4 years.

Does that dish have a name? Never seen pineapple in a soup, would love to give it a shot.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 2 years ago

That could work, if you try, report back please!

I don't mind pineapple in dishes (and love it on pizza). They are commonly found in Cantonese and Yunnanese dishes as well for example, like Gulaorou (sweet & sour pork chops with chillies & pineapple). The acidity goes well with the sweetness of the BBQ-like sauce.

So I can see them harmonizing with meatballs in general. What I do take offense with are the spaghetti, I just don't think pasta in general is a good match for pineapple.

Ok whatever it is, the price on display is not the final price, and I feel scammed.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 3 points 2 years ago

That might take a little while.

Dachau was preserved as a memorial. Tiananmen Square is just that - a city square in Beijing that hundreds of thousands of people cross every day without batting an eye. Many not even aware of the historical significance.
