Excellent, I hadn’t come across this yet, many thanks!

Just fyi, you typed the link to their main source code as github.org instead of .com :)

ETA: Been reading up today, and I’m fully onboard. Glad it uses opensearch, mega easy to just replace SearXNG, and the approach to the curation with the crawler extension is neato.

Let’s Backtrack a little bit

You could almost play the game: “Linux Distro or Weed Strain?”

Other than my Steam Deck, I daily drive NixOS and it runs on all my servers. Can confirm the glory (hole).

Valve over here puttin’ everybody on Arch

I never really used Flatpaks until I got a Steam Deck and started doing a little game dev on it.

I now have an init script that I run after every SteamOS update to install paru and other libraries via pacman instead, lmao.

it’s an app on Flatpak called Flatseal, it’s a GUI to give flatpaks permissions and such.

I spend hours writing a bash script to automate something I know I’m only going to do once.

Oh man, since I know very little about developing at the kernel level, I bet I’d get some sweet and soul-crushing novellas.

Is there a fetish community for people that want to be ripped apart by Torvalds’ anger?

They retained a large portion of their staff and are still headquartered in Toronto, though.

Oh damn, I hadn’t heard of that with the Avowed thing. That’s a Bethesda/Microsoft sleezeball move right there.

I think people in general need to just default to “finding content another way”, because companies should never be given the benefit of the doubt IMO.

Case in point is Obsidian, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.

Should definitely be. My mother has the Paper White 6" and I am able to transfer all my zlib EPUB and MOBIs through USB with no issues.

Nevermind, I think I misunderstood and you meant it more like, “We’ll see how long they allow this feature”

(and for whatever reason strikethrough markdown isn’t working…)

I’ve never used it, but curious myself what the benefits are.

Seems too easy to just hop on tor, login, and download.

IMO, err on the side of caution and just don’t use it.

Interesting site. I already snagged a Kobo, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for other stuff!

DDG partnered with Microsoft which allows Microsoft to ignore the tracking protections in the iOS and Android browsers, all in the name of serving you “relevant ads” like that’s something I want. They can make all the soothing claims they want, I won’t use them ever again.

Try SearXNG, It aggregates from several search engines into one result list with no tracking. Also FOSS.

Ahh, looks like Canada native company started by Indigo, bought by Rakuten in 2011. At least their HQ and all is still in Toronto, didn’t get gutted by the buyout.

I’d never heard of these, thanks! I been trying to find old Kindles for sale, but this looks like a much better choice.

ETA: they’re also a Canadian company, win-win
