  • Can we as a society STOP WITH THESE FUNCKING REDESIGNS?! We had ir right with Android whatever 3 or 4 vesions ago. No need to redo what is functional and we’re used to.

    And it’s not just Android. Windows 11 is inventing the wheel all over again. Like dude, you did it with Windows 10. Why are you remaking everything? Just maintain, fix bugs and from time to time a feature that’s needed.

    I feel like more and more IT companies are changing designs just for the sake of looking fresh.

    EDIT:
    Wait, Android 16? I don’t remember hearing about Android 15, did I miss something?









  • So there is a thing I kind of pirate, but not entirely – e-books.

    But thing is, our public library page has e-books and some of them are available to be read online. Now I cannot officially download them, however opening a network tab on browser console shows me a request to download the whole .epub file. So what I do is copy that request as curl and just download it via terminal.

    Is it piracy, probably, is this resource publicly available for me to read, definetly yes.

    Other than that I don’t really pirate much else.


  • I’ve been using Kobo Libra 2 for more than a year now. It’s good for me as I mostly read books. It’s black and white and has adjustable (intensity and temperature) backlight. One thing I’d recomend – get a case as well. The screen is rather soft and scraches easily.

    Other than that I can’t recomend much else since I haven’t had anything else. It’ll depend very much on your use case: do you need a collored screen, what do you intend to read, comics, PDFs, regular books.

    Reading regular books screen size does not matter as much as for PDFs and comics. And for comics colored screen might be a better choise.

    My general recomendation: an adjustable backlight is a must, both intensity and temperature, deside on a size and color requirements and start looking for something in your price range. Kobo and Onyx were the brands I looked at first, but there are others.

    In my, rather short (5ish years profesionally), career I needed to rebase once. And it was due to some releasing fuck up, a branch had to be released earlier and hence needed to be rebased on another feature branch scheduled for release.

    Otherwise, fetch » pull » merge, all day, every day.
