Pairing mostly sucks with low quality adapters which have all sorts of timing issues. Some decent ones are perfectly fine.


I wonder how much of it is low quality adapters vs poor drivers. Whatever Bluetooth module they used in my £20 Chinesium car stereo connects quicker and works with less niggles than any other device I've tested in the last 20 years.


Are there any spiritual successors?


For me the progression was Slashdot -> Kuro5hin -> HN.


-> lobste.rs


Similar to jlokier's response, I ended up here after k5 went away. HN fills my geek interests pretty well, and over the last few years I've found that "long form video essays" on YT, audiobooks / podcasts fill my desire for learning about other random topics.

It seems that Medium article is ripping off this one https://www.alexandercowan.com/yellow-walkman-data-art-of-cu...


I got around this with Pillow and Python by reducing the image quality to like 20% which in my case didn't have any compromises, but reduced the image size quite substantially. Then I repackaged the images back into cbz and used KCC to make a proper file. As a disclaimer, I have done it only with the Kaiji Ultimate Survivor series to be able to fit the entire manga on my Kindle PW3 with 4GB of storage (I already used up like 1.5GB). Kaiji has less complex drawings, which most certainly plays a role.


Learn how to use (Neo)vim.


He provides a portal to the west as a Japanese person would imagined it to be, akin to an otaku romanticizing japanise culture.


My guess would be that it nurtures the imposter sydrome once the "top performer" starts struggeling with something they shouldn't if they truely were a top performer.


Have you tired KOreader[0]? It supports multiple ebook formats, including epub and cbz. You'll need to jailbreak[1] your Kindle though.

For anyone who might want to jailbreak their Kindle in the future, you'll want to enable airplane mode otherwise it will automatically update its firmware (patching the jailbreak) and there's no way to disable that.

It'll keep updating itself as long as it's powered on, even if you haven't used it in months and there's no telling how long it'll take for current firmware versions to be supported, latest jailbroken version is 17 months old.

After covering the first part of the sceen, I still fail to see the 3rd flash


In Serbia, Latin is "popular" because it is the default in all computers and phones. Most don't bother switching or don't know how. In the old days, when sending an SMS had a price, using cyrillic letters was expensive as hell. You could barely write one third of an SMS for the same price. And that adds up pretty quickly! On a side note, as someone who has to use multiple keyborad layouts each day, it is annoying.


And in a few generations, you don’t think this usage of computers and phones is going to have a serious impact on how Cyrillic is used? People are going to use Latin on phones and computers all day long but still use Cyrillic just as much?


It most certainly will have a big impact. It will take a few more decades, but at some point everybody will simply switch. Both formes are equal in the eyes of the consitution, but Cyrillic is prefered by official insitutions, except if you deal with a lot of foreign affairs. Then it is more practical to simply use Latin all the way.
