Just look up Kindle DeDRM, it is easy enough to remove that stuff and then even convert them to epub

They will use Threads long before mastodon or lemmy, as unfortunate as that is.

Mesa 23.3 Lands Optional Support For Allowing Game Tearing On Wayland
I never understood why people would want tearing. It's such a bad experience.

My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two.
I've been using Atomic stuff for a while. First Silverblue but now I use Bazzite Gnome.
I actually use Nix ontop of it for dev tools and CLI tools that Flatpak doesn't handle.
I don't like the toolbox style of doing things. Nor devbox, dev containers, nix shells, whatever. Too much hassle.
But I do like using Nix + Home-manager to manage my home directory and tools, especially between computers as it's all in a git repo and has separate configs.

What's everyone playing? (June)
Diablo 4, Cassette Beasts, Skull, Boneraiser Minions, Skull, Blasphemous, WoW Classic Hardcore.
Most of it on the steam deck. ClassicHC on desktop because of the stakes.

I actually think even if they kept it two way, most people will still use Threads. It's all about ease of use and where everyone will congregate. Don't underestimate the power of technical illiteracy or general don't give a damn.

[Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - September 2023
Vampire Survivor, Last Epoch, Path of Exile, Victor Vran, Adventures of Van Helsing, Wolcen, Warhammer Chaosbane, etc.
I've gotten into Diablo style ARPGs and trying them all. So for Last Epoch is the funnest for me, primarily setting wise but PoE is fantastic, just soooooo many systems to figure out.

Because Google doesn't do standalone tools. It's all web and they don't want to host it forever.
And no, because there are now third-party tools that can flash it that are standalone.

Mozilla flamed by Firefox fans after promises to not sell their data go up in smoke
Reply in thread
https://wicg.github.io/webusb plenty of spec here and a draft to become web standard.
It's up to me to decide what is sufficient secure and private for me, I don't have the same threat model as others. It's the same bullshit line Firefox throws around.
There is a reason why Firefox is constantly losing adoption. People want things to work.
They can easily add it behind a flag until it's ready, but those that need it can use it in it's current form. I need it for keyboards and mice to be configurable on Linux. Many hardware manufacturers are starting to use it to make cross platform tools for their prepherial hardware. I'm not gonna wait for Firefox overlords to deem it "safe enough" by their whims. They don't even have a framework for how to qualify something is safe. It's just at the personal preferences of Mozilla devs.
They have implemented plenty of things that were drafts, and posed just as many security or privacy issues.

I'll stop using Chromium-based trash once Firefox devs stop acting all holier than thou and implement WebUSB and WebSerial instead of some vague notion they are protecting me from myself by not implementing it.
