@ulintl ich hab mir die nur mal im laden angeschaut und fand die oberfläche total furchtbar. android mag ich eh nicht, aber für eink ist es mmn total ungeignet.

ich hatte vor jahren mal ein bookeen opus (oder so). der hatte noch eine ganz eigene oberfläche die super war. leider auch alles closed source.

@velartrill maybe with "so you just write css with other names into the class attribute instead of the style attribute?" ;)

@velartrill this is wrong on so many levels it's amazing!

> do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, rust?

@ulintl ich warte schon ganzschön lange auf einen ebook reader der nicht mit DRM, android und müll-programmen vollgestopft ist. ich will einfach dateien da drauf ablegen können die ich dann lesen kann. die aktuellen sind alle verlängerte onlineshops der großen buchhändler.

fürs ebooks lesen reicht wahrscheinlich ein framebuffer, da brauchts kein komplettes wahnsinniges mobilbetriebssystem zu.

ein freies eink gerät ist etwas auf das ich seit einem jahrzehnt warte!

@encarsia
i think the population here splits into two groups, those who see the intrinsic value of exposing yourself to views you may not like and those who don't. those two groups flock to their respective habitats, servers without or with minimal block lists and servers with comically large block lists.
@thor

@thor one real nice thing about federated networks is that they seem to prevent everything becoming a huge echo chamber. which reddit, hackernews, lobsters, etc. all have become. there is no constructive dissence, and god forbid you say something politically which isn't mainstream progressive narrative. the exchange we've had yesterday would have been outrageous there.

@velartrill thanks for the tip, i'll try to keep it in mind! :)

@thor

yeah, responsibly maybe describes it best. the decisions weren't always good, but i think still better than anyone else who were in german politics at the time.

i really fear who comes next, there are only idiots and fraudsters to chose from.

@velartrill

@thor

yeah, merkel is quite frosty. the other german politicians are just clowns imho. really no one to take serious. merkel at least has a doctor title which she really earned and not got by coping things or having a ghostwriter. i don't like her politics all that much, but i somehow can respect her.

sounds a bit like dr. strangelove :)

@velartrill

@thor
korrekt, also we do like our rules! :)

really, i like rules. i may personally not like specific rules, but i very much like that there are rules and am pissed if people don't follow them.

@velartrill

@thor i'm not really sure about this, though the EU bureaucracy feels really german ;)

we've taken many refugees, more than we can handle imho. it's really bad for everyone involved. the good people among the refugees largely have no real perspective and we got the problems with the ones that are just psychopaths. we have enough of them on our own ;)

@velartrill

@thor
🤷‍♀️

i just was tinfoiling about reasons why the states left materiel behind when they just could've blown it up :)

@velartrill

@thor
sure, but that is bought from turkey etc. who already used it as a political lever..

it's really a complete clusterfuck.

@velartrill

@thor
from my pov in germany the situation is really at it's tipping point currently. you couldn't sell taking some more millions to the population. the covid fuckup already is divisive enough to create problems.

i'm a bit of a doomsday prophet though, and as i've said, it's tinfoil territory :)
