Yeah it’s amazing. It’s my go to reader for vacations, have it at the pool and beach. I don’t know about waterproof per se, but it’s resisted kids splashing me and me dropping it a bunch.

Sorry, I strip it from Amazon ebooks. There’s a plugin for calibre called deDRM that does it, it’s pretty simple once you get it setup.

Just import book, and the drm is gone.

I got the kobo bw. I spent a weekend downloading all 500some ebooks I’ve purchased off Amazon (which they do not make easy) to my laptop. Then I imported them into calibre, stripped all drm, and loaded them onto the kobo.

It’s great, I love it.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Cynical is a word used by the frightened to describe the realistic.

Edit: wait I misread the assignment. That’s the first 3D accelerator I bought. I have no idea what my first gfx card was it was like 37 years sgo.

Man i feel that complaining about the free snacks 100%.

Covid was so hard for some of these kids because they had to fend for themselves during the work day while working from home. Constant complaints.

You and i would get along great i bet :D

Get fucked, NSA

I work in tech now, so I’m a lazy schlub. However, I’m also a college dropout out (English major) who had a ton of actual jobs in the past. Warehouse loading delivery trucks, worked in a cabinet shop, food service, etc. i

I think college grads who go into tech should have to work a normal job for at least a year before getting their tech job and making six figures right out of college.

Otherwise you end up with these entitled shitbags who complain that their company provided duck confit at lunch doesn’t have crispy enough skin (an actual thing that actually happened when i was at a big FANG company. Fucking unbelievable)

So even though I’m a techbro shitlord, i have respect for the people who work jobs.

🙄whatever dogg.

Yeah that’s never happening dude, sorry; this shit’s way too entrenched. Until we start killing lobbyists and billionaires off, ain’t shit changing. Might as well be pushing Jill stein.

Yes, she sucks in her own ways. But she’s not a fascist.

No. The stakes are too high for this bullshit. Better Kamala than an actual literal fascist.

Ow my leg hair ow my back hair ow my arm hair.

Well if you want to be the one who retrofits google cloud to support it more widely, go to town. But I’m sure as hell not going to bother, I have other work to do. And also I don’t work at google.

Cloud infra engineer here.

Answer: I don’t think about it. Nothing fully supports it, so we pretend it doesn’t exist.

I have a closet in my home office. On the floor of it is a sleeping mat and soft blanket as the base, and I have a weighted blanket on top. When I start getting overwhelmed (or just need a quick mid-day nap) I’ll go in there, close the door, and lie down for a bit. It’s isolated and quiet.

When my cat hears that door open she will rush to be included, and will cuddle with me.

:3 why thank you

Zoloft and caffeine. Both are very hard, in different ways.

Rofl. My dad is WHY I do this.

Fair point. I usually just correct people when they are talking about cement concrete. I’ve never actually heard of “asphalt concrete”

I just inherited this quirk from my dad is all
