I’ve found the quality on Gutenberg varies massively - since an epub is basically a zipped html file, I’ve had plenty that are just barely-converted text files, with problems like incorrect character encoding and that everything’s one big chapter.

Maybe! I checked the Amazon update page and it looks like older models aren’t getting the update. Lucky you.
Unfortunately, just before that video aired Amazon broke jailbreaking with their 5.18.1 update (both for existing and new jailbreakers). WinterBreak is broken. Hopefully it can be worked around, but my guess will be that it’s not going to be possible again.
I’m going to get a Kobo Clara BW and use Koreader on there.
I’ve researched this and I’ll be buying a Kobo once my Kindle finally dies (it’s lived a hard life). I’ve bought DRMed books from some non-Amazon sources and had to go through the steps to strip their DRM so I could read them on the Kindle - this was using Calibre. Mostly those other sources were using Adobe Digital Editions (DeDRM can handle it).
I have yet to find if there’s a self-hosted option that would replicate what Amazon does - i.e. tracks read position and lets you download and read via an Android app or a website. I do have Calibre-web set up, but haven’t fully looked into what it can do yet.

It’s almost a productivity hack.

There’s a lot of smaller communities that are only kept going by one dedicated poster, or never got the critical mass to keep going, which is a shame.

I doubt that you can get your skin hot enough to denature those proteins without damaging yourself. I’ve given myself a blister before trying.
Over many years, I’ve settled on hydrocortisone cream followed by an ice cube. Those little buggers love me.

Deebster@lemmy.mltoReddit@lemmy.ml•AI Is Poisoning Reddit to Promote Products and Game Google With 'Parasite SEO'5·1 year agoI’m not a regular there any more, but I feel like there’s more “natural” spam posts nowadays. They’re not natural enough that they haven’t prompted me to check the account’s post history (all mention product x, of course).
Edit: e.g. this one
If this is an example of the AI, it’s not very good.
I’ve had that before and I’m very confident the password was correct - my theory is that they’d changed how non-ASCII characters like £ were handled and their code only half recognised my password.

As a professional software I know that the actual typing is hardly any of the work - let alone on someone else’s code!
And you’re a developer too, so you know this. This minimising of his contributions comes across as you arguing in bad faith, not to mention backing up the complaints about your hostile attitude.
I don’t find that, but when I do you can often find the page on https://archive.today/ or https://web.archive.org/. You should be able to set it so that you can pass them a url from the address bar using your browser (e.g. Firefox’s
quicksearchessmart keywords) or search engine (Bangs on DDG, Kagi, searx), if it’s not already linked from the post text.
As soon as I saw the logo the theme song played in my head.
