Yo llevo tiempo sospechando que el arquitecto de esto es un Terry Pratchet infantil, que aún no ha desarrollado todas sus ideas. De ahí que el mundo sea una pelota, y no un plato sobre cuatro elefantes sobre una tortuga repleta de impactos de meteoritos.

Regressions and won't fix bugs may tarnish this. And all software applications die, usually sooner than most of their users. Mosaic, Netscape, Internet Explorer are the norm.

But yeah, it is nice to help making something you love better, even more if it benefits millions of users.

¿Será que alguien se ha leído todos los libros de Xanth y se ha venido arriba?

Hasta el propio Musk sabía que era una mala compra. La mejor prueba es que intentó echarse atrás, pero ya era tarde.

@simon_brooke

They have more than enough money to do this, 100 times bigger: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afsluitd

Or they are planning getting SpaceX from Musk hands. It would explain them investing in the Twitter fiasco.

@Tempehlover

Those five got there knowing they were taking a risk.

Most of the other 2 million were born there, and never got a chance to get out.

Everytime I test an epub file with a variety of ebook readers (devices or apps, it is the same), they are never formatted the same way, unless it has barely any format at all.

And diagrams are always a pain, because they usually get painted too small, and readers usually haven't got any zooming feature for images.

And I am only reading them; I can't imagine how bad it can be for authors.

I suspect ebooks are in the same state as HTML 20 years ago: a total PITA to get straight in all browsers. Besides, ereaders allow users to customize ebook design much more than browsers, and we users take advantage of it much, much more than we do as browser users. Being able to customize font family, size, line height, etc. is one of the main selling points of those devices. Kobos even allow you to use your own custom fonts in any book.

You could use PDF if you really need coherence, but, really, I hate PDFs on my ereader so much I may have read two or three in 10 years.

My advice is: forget about getting the same design everywhere, aim for getting a good one anywhere, pay attention to diagram size and resolution. Otherwise, you may end like a Lovecraft character at the end of the book.

As if working sick were good for productivity, staff's morale, or the company public image (when facing public).

@Vivaldi

The first two. Firefox has the ethics, but not the features; and no one has the features.

About the third one, I'm still missing old Opera per site custom CSS. It was very, very useful. That's the one still lacking. And yes, I'm a web developer; but you can always have a feature for easy sharing custom CSS with the community. Being able to hide some elements or theming your favourite sites seems like something many people would like to do.

Being able to disable CSS would be great, too; but Reader Mode makes it much less useful.

Siempre puedes ir detrás vendiendo anticonceptivos.

También es cierto que a alguna igual le da una alegría.

@davetron5000

Wow. I have an H2O. It has only trouble for very big files; but I usually only use EPUBs and some text PDFs.

My main grudge is they removed support for CBRs months after I purchased it, and that's one of the main reasons for choosing a Kobo for me.

The next one is I can't resize images in EPUBs, so any kind of map or graphic gets stuck at full width.

What ebook format are you using?

@cdarwin

When you base all your planning in an unproven new thing, you risk total failure, whatever endeavor you are in.

What if their tech would have been hacked, instead of destroyed, and that tech would be now at Hamas orders?

A veces me pregunto si la gente debate en redes sociales para contrastar ideas y mejorar su visión del mundo, o simplemente para que les den la razón.

Pero me dura poco. Todos sabemos cuál es la respuesta correcta.

@KristianHarstad

Of course not all Israelis are terrorist. That would be crazy. But some of them clearly are. Killing civilians is a terrorist act, whoever the victims are.

@KristianHarstad

Totally agree.

The most telling sign of someone being a terrorist is when he kills innocents in order to get his goals by terrorizing a population.

I have no words for what Hamas has done. They should be tried for their heinous crimes. As the terrorist on the Israeli side should have been tried a long time ago.

There will not be justice here until each one is given what he has earned. Because that is de definition of justice.
