If anything that seems like worthwhile analytics for the dev team to have access to.

Most software lets you opt out of sending anonymous analytics data though.

Really? You had someone blaming Ukraine for Ukraine war and the best you could come up with was misoginy? You really got all the way down to their level there.

Lol crypto did not “start” in San Francisco. And if that’s so incredibly wrong, there is no point of even considering anything else you wrote.

3Easier said than done. Had a quick search. In 45km of my home there is not one reMarkable, PineNone or Bookeen. There is 2 kobos. And around 200 kindles. Kindes are starting at 5 bucks for ones that look a little beat up. Kobos are 80 bucks. You can still avoid buying most books from amazon. Obviously not all. Even owning Kobo there are some books you end up buying from Amazon. They have the largest foreign language library. There are thousands of popular books which you cannot get in a foreign language anywhere else these days. And you have to acknowledge that most people in the world are not reading books in English.

Sometimes you can get a solid deal. If youre super patient or lucky. But the 2nd hand market will generally always follow the market distribution of retail.

So long as kindle is domninating. 2nd hand users are gonna be heavily pressured into buying kindle.

I wholeheartedly agree that we shouldnt support amazon and i do think they are making kindles a pain.

But i dont think you can expect people to just find 2nd hand alternatives like what you listed. Especially when you consider the demographic of people shopping for eraders.

This is why i find these kinds of comment chains futile. We all love to vote with our money, but its not that simple for a lot of people. Maybe instead of this “you get what you deserve” attitude we could put more energy towards promoting the jailbreaks and trying to make those as accessible as possible for your chineese grandma to be able to do it herself on her Windows Vista. Not to mention that there is 0 value in telling anyone that bought a new kindle that they deserve whats comming. At best they sell their kindle when they buy a kobo perpetuating the cycle. At worst they trash it and contribute the already growing problems of ewaste.

Pretty easy to come up with problems that chatGPT is useless at. You can test it pretty easily. Throw enough constraints at it and the transformer starts to loose attention and forget vital parts.

With a bit of effort you can make problems where chatGPT will actuallt give a misleading answer and candidates have to think critically.

Just like in the past it was pretty easy to come up with problems which werent easily found on SO.

Same landscape. If you put in the time and the effort to have a solid recruitment process, you get solid devs. If you have a lazy and shitty process, you get shitty devs.

Have you actually found that to be the case in anything complex though? I find it just forgets parts to generate something. Stuck in an infuriating loop of fucking up.

It took us around 2 hours to run our coding questions through chatgpt and see what it gives. And it gives complete shit for most of them. One or two questions we had to replace.

If a company cannot invest even a day to go through their hiring process and AI proof it, then they have a shitty hiring process. And with a shitty hiring process, you get shitty devs.

And then you get people like OP, blaming the generation while if anything its them and their company to blame… for falling behind. Got to keep up folks. Our field moves fast.

There is a whole community of people out there who will pretty much refuse to buy brand new electronics. And thats for very obvious and valid reasons.

Kindles can be found for dirt cheap if not free 2nd hand. And so many users have a kindle for this reason. Myself included. Id never throw out or discard an electronic device that continues to work. For the same obvious reasons as why i dont buy new ones.

And so this information is super relevant and important to users like me. Regardless of how much people like you might be convinced that “we had it coming” or whatever.

For those of us who will only buy electronics used, kindle is usually the only option. And far cheaper too. So its nice that the device can be opened up a bit.

Can this make Overdrive/Libby integration easier? Thats really the main thing pissing me off about Kindles.

Nobody knows his identity or whereabouts. Nobody knows what happened to the soldiers who stopped either.

And thats probably intentionally so, to avoid martyrdom if hes dead. Or to protect his life if he’s not.

And that in itself is a very powerful part of the story.

You’re right. Everybody is just being dramatic and pretending they can’t afford to own a home. Especially the people having their homes repossessed. They are the biggest fakers of all.

Lol. So hard to keep up with the trends these days. It’s a mine field. First the n-word, then blackface and now this… What’s next?! /s

I know its intimidating but getting a managed instance of nextcloud somewhere like Hetzner is really straight forward. You wont have to do much if any admin past the initial setup.

But services like Proton are a Swiss alternative to a lot of these cloud services.

People dont own land anymore. We live and die in ever-inflating rental properties.

Thats not true
