Pardon the image source, was the first to pop up on DDG

Don’t worry, Bambi, in Germany, die means something else entirely

Touché

This is a screenshot from the Morning Brew newsletter. They’re honestly pretty great, love these stock hot takes.

Also, gotta think about whether 5% mortality rate is acceptable.

For an airdrop number of pond fish? Sure!

For your hobbyist number of expensive fish? Absolutely not

I should have mentioned no numbers either

Explain it to me, but don’t use any words

I tried to cross post it here: https://lemmy.world/post/22093917

Not sure if I did it correctly, though

I know that… I was taking liberties to take hydroelectric power to its furthest logical extension by saying that the sun is evaporating (boiling) the water, it goes through the water cycle, it is deposited atop mountains or further upriver, and it then flows back down through the hydroelectric stations.

One could even argue that hydro power is just boiling water, letting it condense, and then letting it spin a turbine

I don’t think so, I had to go in and do the song and dance with changing a config file. Reposting this comment here for posterity.

1. Delete .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite (if you are already signed in).
2. Restart Kobo
3. DO NOT tap “Set up over wi-fi”. Press the other one and connect it to a computer.
4. Go to .kobo/Kobo/Koboreader.config (or something like that)
5. Open the config file and under [ApplicationPreferences], write on a new line: SideloadedMode=true.
6. If you did not do steps 1 and 2, delete .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite.
7. Eject and restart ereader.
8. Yay! You just bypassed registration!

Not without significant hurdles due to Amazon’s (very intentionally crafted) walled garden. You’re locked in by the file format as well as Amazon’s DRM. If you do anything to bypass this, it’s technically illegal as a violation of the DMCA.

My last eReader purchase was the Kobo Clara 2E and it’s fantastic. I got one for my dad as well. I love the fact that you can use it completely offline and without any account.

Then they announced a partnership with IFixIt, and that cemented for me (barring any changes), that my next eReader will also be another Kobo… though with this partnership I expect that to be a long time down the road.

Only options available to me on the work computer are Chrome and Edge. FWIW, I use Edge, but still I understand the choice between the two.

Kmufasa, the K is silent like in knife

I appreciate this rule 🙌

Yeah I can’t help but wonder if this was photoshopped
