Yeah, they’re the VHS of video calling software.
Let me throw my seedbox into the ring. :)
You don’t have to convert to mobi anymore. The Kindle backend supports epub for a couple of months already. I’ve also read reports that Kindle’s can now convert ePub by themselves if you copy ePub files via cable but I haven’t verified that myself.
Can confirm, though it’s unlikely to be some piracy check. The epub just has a couple of errors that might make it difficult for Amazon’s server-side epub parsing implemention:
$ epubcheck ~/Downloads/nietzsche-a-guide-for-the-perplexed-r-kevin-hill--annas-archive.epub

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any other epub versions. Though I just discovered the Kindle ePub fix project and converted the ePub to a fixed version using the en
language tag. That seems to work because the book just showed up in my Kindle library. :)
I don’t know about this take. I’m not sure how serious you are about it, but imagine a web without Javascript. Perhaps we’d all be using proprietary abominations such as Java or Flash today, not knowing what would’ve been possible with a more open, albeit somewhat clunky, programming language that’s supported by every browser.
Can’t reproduce on the most recent stable version of Brave on Android 13 (Pixel 7 Pro). Tried multiple mirrors on Anna’s Archive.
You’re right, it’s definitely fishy and his claim doesn’t seem to hold up. According to Wellfound (previously Angellist) Brave was seed funded by Founders Fund with 4,5mil USD, which brings them close to owning 10% of Brave, though possibly with some dilution, because Chinese company Qihoo 360 provided 2,5mil USD in seed funding in 2015 already. I don’t think it’s likely that any “[…] first floor engineers at Brave” have a bigger equity, if I’m not completely misunderstanding how these equity valuations work.
It’s definitely suspicious. Since I’m inbetween moving browsers from Chrome to Brave right now, I’ll have to dig deeper into this and maybe switch to Firefox again. Though Mozilla has their own issues.
Sigh. Thanks for your reply!
Definitely, Thiel is a capitalist psycho, no question about that.
According to Brave’s CEO, that’s not really true though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25840586
Can you provide contradictory evidence? I tried to no avail. I would stop using Brave if it turns out that Thiel is having a bigger stake in Brave than I knew so far.
I could’ve provided a bit more information on my own take on the link I submitted though. Thanks for being supportive!
That’s a stupid assumption unless you can provide examples where that actually happened.
Anti-fascism on Disney+. Never would’ve expected that.
At least there’s one person who doesn’t go off the rails as if just told people to stop using Tor or Signal. Appreciate! 🙏
I don’t get what you’re saying. Who burned down what house? What is “the oligarchy” supposed to mean? I don’t see any Parler links anywhere and I thought the platform shut down anyways? I found some older posts of his in Wired and Slate. If he’s a right winger, please show me what’s right wing but don’t come at me with some ramblings of spreading right wing propaganda.
The US is headed to shit and they’re obviously tightening the noose in terms of wanting to do away with privacy and with Tor being basically the only widespread anti-censorship network with decent UX we all must be aware that this is a gift that can easily be subverted and taken away. Sure we can fork it, but you need some decent cryptographers to ensure it remains secure and these people don’t grow on trees.
I don’t think the author is telling anyone not to use Tor but to keep in mind that it’ll probably only last as long as it works in the US’ favor of enabling color revolutions in “evil countries”
Responses like yours really worry me about the political discourse.
To the downvoter(s): Did yo really read the piece? 🤔
This just made me switch from AndOTP. Much better UI, awesome import capabilities, much more robust backup/restore. Thanks for sharing!
I can’t recommend the Google TV/Chromecast if you have to interact with multiple apps or plan on using the Discover screen or search. The remote is finicky and feels cheap and the device itself is totally underpowered for Google TV. Its Amlogic SoC is slow as fuck and often drops frames and the 2GB of memory are barely enough to keep the bloated interface in memory while the storage is often full even after just installing a few apps. It has gotten a bit better after even Google had to admit that performance was abysmal but the optimizations just fixed the most obvious shortcomings.
I have sinced unsubscribed from all streaming services and just rely on the put.io app on Google TV to handle my media consumption needs and it is good enough for that. So if you just need the Stremio app (which I haven’t used myself) to access local content, you should be fine. I never saw it struggle with 4k HDR content nor did I encounter A/V sync issues.
This! Good for you for standing up, my friend!
Same here. I’m using Syncthing to keep states synched between my MacBook and Pixel. All I’m missing is a shared grocery list for me and my girlfriend.
