Ok? I’m still going to read books as .txt files anyways, because it does so.

Nope. Raw epub to reader and it doesn’t handle it.

I’ve tried that in the past, but it doesn’t seem to care how the epub is put on it, it always displays epubs horribly

I really don’t care. I’ve tried several different ways to get it to cooperate with epubs, and at a certain point it isn’t worth it when I already have a viable solution.

It’s a kindle D01100

My reader formats epubs really terribly, the text is almost always way too small, and requires some grotesque horizontal scrolling for most books.

On the other hand .txt just works, and handles resizing just fine

I’ve been using raw text files for my books, sent locally over USB, and that’s the way it’s gonna stay until my reader craps out

It’s the copilot/microslop quality guarantee!

That’s a suspicious question. The Copilot police are on their way to your location.

My mind was on the more practical idea of intervening on the ground.

But basically no-one, since it’s largely based on international law which is toothless.

At least not legally

People want houses, that doesn’t mean they want forests clear cut.

Similarly people want space exploration, that doesn’t mean they want to speedrun Kessler syndrome.

The infrastructure isn’t the only issue here. Its the fact that this is being done by a corporation owned by a nazi, with many other companies looking to compete. So instead of having one set of LEO satellites, we’ll have several.

If this was actually used to benefit humanity the light pollution caused by this would be understandable and minimized. But this isn’t being done in a sustainable way, or owned by the people.

And that’s all before considering the detrement to the environment from these satellites constantly burning up in the upper atmosphere.

And with all that said, this isn’t space exploration, and it isnt the type of space infrastructure that would aid exploration. Actual exploration doesn’t need thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of these tiny satellites aimed only at Earth.

Rage from within the machine

I loved that castle. I think the remains of it lie in my parents attic to this day.

Yes and no.

It is absolutely damaging. But the dude knows way more about the tech we use than anybody else on the team. He is autistic as fuck, and his hyperfixation is the Microsoft tech stack.

He spends hours at home watching tutorials because he legit thinks it’s fun.

He routinely shows up to work and goes “hey, did you see the new [version of Microsoft package/tool] they finally fixed [thing]!”

And every time I’m just like “no. I did not see that”.

He has by far the most experience and knowledge, but he just misuses it like crazy.

The senior dev on my team does this on a daily basis.

Then the rest of the team gets confused how to use his code because he’s buried it in a dozen layers of abstractions.
