Booker says it ‘irked’ him that Thurmond held previous record to ‘stop people like me from being in the Senate’
  • Agree completely, I also just feel it's important to highlight that style of inauthentic behavior.

  • What are you accomplishing, right here, right now, with this comment?

    The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.

    Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with "debate".

  • Official Teaser Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3
  • Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.

  • Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?
  • Got it, appreciate the feedback! I actually tried the new Libra Color briefly and found the screen too hard to read without the backlight, wheras my Kindle I almost never use the backlight indoors. That said the Libra 2 was really nice and I may go back to it anyway.

  • Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?
  • Thank you! Does this work for all models?

  • Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?
  • Thanks yes I was looking at Boox but I really want it to be as not tablet-like as possible, and the battery thing would be a small hurdle for me. Kobo has some nice devices, I wish there was an updated sage as I don't really care about colors.

  • Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?
  • That's a great explainer, thank you! Any guidance on pointing me in the right direction to find Kindle jail breaking walk throughs? I may just end up keeping mine.

  • Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?

    I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

    I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

    Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

    Post on /r/RedditAlternative complaining about Reddit shadow banning and power tripping. Most comments are positive about Lemmy and provide guidance to potential new joiners
  • "Just keep on Lemmy. It feels like Reddit did 14 years ago."

    For better or worse this really nails it. I also think it's a good reminder that when Reddit conquered Digg it happened over a six month period because there was like 100k users maybe total. There are so many more people involved with Reddit these days it's going to take literal years before Lemmy is anywhere near the same level in terms of MAU.

  • Master Replicas, Hiya Toys Launch New Star Trek Preorders
  • My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

    The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.

  • Anyone have any experience with eabud batteries?
  • Nice, I was very close to buying a new pair of headphones so happy that a $25 purchase and an hour of work brought them back.

  • Three original movies are being released in theaters today
  • Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.

  • Which Distribution and Desktop Environment should I use?
  • LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. "Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can't recommend it."

  • Which Distribution and Desktop Environment should I use?
  • I mean, rollbacks are quite literally a feature to prevent breaking it. That said I've never even had to roll back once.

  • Anyone have any experience with eabud batteries?
  • I replaced the batteries in these exact buds and it made them brand new again. Highly recommend doing this. These are the ones I bought.

  • Which Distribution and Desktop Environment should I use?
  • Fedora Kinoite.

    • You will basically never need the terminal.
    • Highly tweakable, but out of the box is very similar to windows
    • It's immutable (impossible to break)
    • App "store" makes sense and is not weird.
    • Extremely fast.
  • Lemmy mentioned in an r/coolguides post "A cool guide for leaving big tech." - You know what to do

    Note that r/coolguides is a very "normie" subreddit and may require extra handholding. There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand what "open source" means. Some looking for "The Lemmy app" etc. Be patient and helpful!
