I have a Boox Nova Air which is still going strong after around 2 years, and honestly it’s pretty good for writing. But I heard a lot of people having problems with updates bricking the device or receiving a bad unit and having an hard time returning it, if bought directly from them. I did not have to talk with support and I avoided the updates, so I can’t say more about that. My experience is overall good with it.

I also have a Kobo Libra H2O that I think is nearing the 4 years mark, and is still going really strong. The biggest problem I had was that it asks for a kobo account during setup, thing that I really dislike. I don’t know if it is still like that.

But, generally, if you want an epub compatible reader that you can mod (NickelMenu etc) and easily side load stuff to, with a kobo libra you can’t go wrong. Even if, to be fair, I’m not up to date with the latest devices and company policies.

One note: the kindle format is pretty closed and all the stuff you buy from amazon is generally DRMed to hell, so it’s not certain that you can pass it to other readers. Just avoid amazon’s ebooks.

EDIT: One thing I missed: PDFs on the default kobo software are bad, the Boox default software for PDF is far better and - in my case - there’s a screen size difference too that can make my opinion biased. Aside from that for pure book reading kobo is generally better, but you need to buy a protective case for it: there are a lot of cheap and good quality compatible ones.

I don’t know why but they are on a separate branch: 0.18.5_release_notes

Reading the commits it seems they want to keep them on join-lemmy, instead of having a changelog/releases file in the github.

They first added the 0.18.5 changes and then deleted the full content of the releases file and put to go to https://join-lemmy.org/news

And then here I am, still unable to run StableDiffusion on my 6650xt because pytorch apparently hates it.

TBF llama.cpp runs like a wonder on ROCm.

All aside the improvements in the AI ecosystem by AMD are appreciated and overall tangible. Let’s hope they’ll keep it up.

I went back and checked and it seems I kind of remembered it right, when it was first released on GOG there was some kind of version incompatibility with the Steam one: Link
You can see it in the SKSE page too, there’s a version specific for GOG: Link

But reading in the gog forums it seems this is not a problem for Fallout 4: Link

We’ll have to try and see! ✌️

This is indeed a great summary. I never really modded it, so that too will be a new experience. I hope mods will works with the GoG version!

I remember the ones for Skyrim needed some kind of patching? Or it was only for the SKSE related one? Aaah, that too will be a journey on itself. Haha!

Finally! Not the best game ever made, but one I really enjoy nonetheless.

I can’t wait to play it again: having left my Steam library behind it’s always a struggle not being able to replay some games missing on gog.

There’s an archived snapshot of the issue: https://web.archive.org/web/20220623132457/https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/820

I checked on their profile and indeed there is no veilidchat or similar repository.

Using the site search with duckduckgo it gives the same link that goes nowhere, so probably there was a repo but it got taken down? I’ve no idea.

Invidious currently works for me, but reading in the Issue in their repo it seems there are still problems.

For whoever wants to try here’s invidious instances list , just add /watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY after one instance’s link to get to the video.

Piped is currently generally broken: issue#2809

Other similar services had to patch too, because of changes on Youtube’s side. So now Piped works only some of the times, until it will get updated.

EDIT: Typo.

I think it only counts the ones subscribed from your instance (kbin, or lemmy), the total count is only available in the community’s main instance

Until you have up and down votes there always will be someone making a tally.

The concept of Karma of other sites, to be fair, is not as simple as that. A lot of times the Karma is not a straight tally, there are algorithms to mitigate abuse (ex. Try to disregard mass voting, sudden influxes of votes, or known bots votes), or it is used to indirectly move the conversation to a preferred subject (ex. Making points obtained in some discussions or communities less valuable, or directly not considering them).

Luckily or not that kind of Karma is not present here, which basically makes the whole concept of total Karma pretty useless because you really can’t trust the value to be kind of truthful and not manipulated.

Already with all the anti abuse, and it being calculated in a centralized platform, it was generally worthless. Here it is completely worthless. People should just be reminded of its real nature of an easily gamed system, and that it is not what they were used to.

We can only hope that in the long run they will drop it.

I’m unsure how the whole cross-posting thing works, so I’m copying my comment from a cross-post here too, let me know if this is bad and how to approach cross-post comments correctly.

I had the same problem. Yesterday I could access the modlog from the lemmy.ml instance but it had a lot of repeated entries. Like a lot.

So yeah, something’s weird. On the lemmy-ui issue tracker there’s this: issue#1905 but I haven’t had the time to read it, I only skimmed it.

Are you talking about this: https://lemmyverse.net/communities ?

There’s this one too: https://browse.feddit.de/ but it is not as nice.

I get an eye opening “Error establishing a database connection”.

My life will never be the same! 😭

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the “web based”. Today I’m incredibly distracted.

Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.

Probably I’m misreading it, but isn’t this kind of answer basically saying “google it”?

I don’t want to sound rude, but my english is kind of failing me, I’m just curious, but what’s the point?

One of the reasons of this kind of public forum is to share knowledge and experiences. ChatGPT is a closed, private, garden where the answer will just die.

I could get a “I don’t really know the answer but I used ChatGPT and it gave me this:” followed by a script, or something like that.

I know, this is off-topic and I’m sorry, I’m just really interested in Why, considering it’s said multiple times in this comment section.

Block the user. It should be just one bot doing it in the lemmit.online instance.

To do so just, from your instance website, click on his name and search for the block function.

EDIT: For future reference you can automagically hide all (properly flagged) bots’ posts toggling the “Show Bots” in your profile, but you will lose the useful ones too and the one not flagged will still appear.

If silence is the real culprit you should try out a white noise generator, generally speaking it should overload/excite you less then music or human voices and could help you sleep faster.

Where I live silence during the night is not really an option, and I had had problems only when on vacation “away from civilization”, but small stuff like white noise, a fan or similar low but continuos sounds helped me out without asking for my attention (which happens with movies, music or similar).

There are even apps that simulate different kind of sound and let you mix them (like rain, birds, wind) but I didn’t have enough patience to really dig on this solution.

I know this is a 3 weeks old post, but this is amazing.
