Ive been converting some pdfs to epub for the kobo and that has worked great. Its not perfect but gives a better experience than pdf. Ive also put some solo card game rules on there so a deck of cards and the kobo gives another fun on the go activity.

Come on in, the water is great!

I’ve attempted to learn it before but struggled. That was a long time ago. Is now the time to try again with these latest quality of life features mentioned?

If so, who has some good learning resources?

Maybe try a few distros on a live usb to see which work well with the hardware.

Just as I got another letter in the mail today from some unknown company about how all my info has been exposed in yet another data breech.

My coworkers are doing this to me. They are even pasting into PR reviews. The threat is real.

I can’t stand how many companies and organizations only have a presence on Facebook. When I reach out to them to ask if there is another way to stay connected I usually get a big NOPE.

It’s everywhere. I was just trying to find some information on starting seeds for the garden this year and I was met with AI article after AI article just making shit up. One even had a “picture” of someone planting some seeds and their hand was merged into the ceramic flower pot.

The AI fire hose is destroying the internet.

Thanks for the insight. That’s a really awesome use case: near real-time health tracker data.

So far the switch has been fantastic. Its just taking time to write new scripts and such as I port my old windows workflows over to Linux.

The one thing I haven’t gotten working is SteamVR. I’ve only been able to launch into the steam vr home and it puts me underneath the floor. I can teleport move around but can’t interact with things and it leaves me under the floor.

Ok, have fun on windows while the rest of us move to Linux and enjoy gaming there.

I’ve started using {emailaddress}+{sitename}@gmail.com i.e. myemail+xyzCompany@gmail.com

That way I can at least see who sold my info. I wish I would have started doing this long ago though. Some sites dont let you use the plus symbol even though it’s valid though

I’ve been using linux for years, but in limited contexts. With switching my primary desktop over this year I’ve found it helpful to stop by my local library and checked out some books on linux. I’m combining that with chatting with a locally running LLM. I’ve also setup an extra Raspberry Pi I had laying around with Ubuntu Lite as a sandbox OS to tinker with.

Maybe consider a portable sandbox setup like this you could quickly demonstrate or share?

Yes, the ability to use Overdrive directly on the Kobo to checkout or return titles is so much nicer!

I bought my first ereader this summer and got a Kindle and hated it. Returned it and got a Kobo. Its fantastic, I can just load my ebooks like it’s an external drive. I dont have to email all my ebooks to Amazon just to get them on my own device.

Me too :( but it looks like it’s time to jump ship and migrate all my content to a new app.

Nice. Where do I find the memory requirements? I have an older 6GB GPU so I’ve been able to play around with some models in the past.

Yep, ads masquerading as comments. It’s awful. I’m so glad I moved to Lemmy.

lol, I just watched this movie this week
