“are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”

Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.

Damn

I had the same reaction. Enshittification came for Windows more than a decade ago, WTH are they thinking with this meme?

Jokes on them, in 50+ years I’ve accumulated almost nothing anyhow!

Fair point! So which part of my reply to the other commenter was incorrect?

Sure, OK. But it’s not a universal observation. Leaving off “to me” makes it so. That commenter didn’t sound that way to me. See how that works?

I now wish he’d won in 2020. Maybe it would have finally been the thing that stopped D from tacking to the right. Plus, we’d be a month away from being done with him now. We’d be a month away from starting to rebuild from 8 years of his shit. (well ok, more like two months)

Instead, factoring in the supreme court, the house and senate, and figuring all the shit he dismantles will take more than just 4 years to put back together, I figure I’ll be dead of old age (as will anyone over 50) by the time any of the progressive goals that seemed like they could one day be obtainable at the end of 2020 actually have any chance of becoming obtainable again.

And that’s on top of the untold horrors that await the queer community, people of color, folks with special needs, etc etc during the next four years, and I’m now not 100% sure we’ll get another election at all.

Biden was never going to win. He is actively losing his marbles. It was so painfully obvious even Democrats had to accept it.

And yet now everyone has to pretend that a single coherent thought comes out of Trumps mouth in any given 5 minutes.

That’s how you sounded

To you.

I’m sure all the folks who were quick to ignore or dismiss their clarification of the packaging issue at the time will be just as quick to make comments like these as they were to skewer them then.

All I can think of, sorry.

Overdrive is the one I usually hear about, but in googling Libby it seems they are related.

Well that does sound pretty cool, I might have to take a closer look when I’m ready for another purchase.

I’ve looked into those other brands but not recently enough to provide any meaningful comparison. (though I have this feeling that “remarkable is overpriced” is something I’ve heard a lot, but I could be wrong)

I’ve personally owned the Kobo Glo, Glo HD, and Libra 2.

For most of their devices (I can’t speak for current models one way or the other) you can swap out key bits of the software and enhance functionality via various hacks/mods. A lot of that is documented here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=223

You can also open them up and replace a standard SD card to boost storage capacity. (Again, I know this to be true at least through the Libra 2, I do not know about more recent models.)

The thing I got the most use from in the past was being able to swap out the sdcard on my Glo and Glo HD, but some folks really swear by the other various mods. I don’t have any complaint with the default reader software on the Kobo, so haven’t messed with swapping that out.

I have not messed with the SD card on the Libra 2 for two reasons - apparently doing so will mess up the waterproofing, and also because I’ve found 32GB to be sufficient for my purposes.

Kobo, folks. I’ve been there through three generations of devices. No regrets. Fairly hackable, sideload friendly, competitively priced.

Me too!

I used Windows back then (edit - and MSDOS before that). There was already EEE as far back as Netscape Navigator and they are far from the only example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

Then there is the whole “they stole from Apple who stole from Xerox” before that.

Essentially - at every juncture where MS has had competition, they have behaved poorly. “Linux is a cancer.” Sure thing, Ballmer.
