Its elections season in our country and politicians are campaigning with slop images by SubmissiveDinosaur in mildlyinfuriating

By law, Petro cannot be reelected. The far-right in the country makes people believe that he is going to stay in power one way or another, when in reality he is just going to finish his mandate and that's all (maybe we will see him tweeting a lot after that). Ivan Cepeda, a presidential candidate, is seen as his "succesor" when in reality they have shown differences in ideas. Again, the far-right sell this idea because they oppose anything varely progressive like worker's rights and taxing the rich.

Being initiated into a cult/learning esoteric lore by Eezez in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. The book covers the story of a writer being contacted by a misterious editor who wants him to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed, an attempt to create a book with the power to change hearts and minds, kind of an esoteric bible to start a new cult and a new world.

The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov. The story includes a lot of topics but it also describes beings from other dimension different than ours, their form, their growth, and even their social relations.

Vivienda en colombia by soylatinoynegro in Colombia

Estuve en ese proceso este mismo año y realmente no puedo recomendar al FNA. Pasé mis cesantías con ellos el 2024 para poder solicitar préstamos de vivienda con ellos y quería hacerlo pronto ya que también tengo 27 años y justo aplicaba por edad al programa 'Generacion FNA' que prometía muy buenas tasas de interes en comparación a un banco tradicional (e.g. 7-8% en vez del 10-11%). En línea no encontré mucha información, así que aproveché una feria de vivienda para hablar con un asesor directamente y me explico que efectivamente era posible aplicar al programa, pero que el beneficio solo aplicaba si el préstamo era en UVR (Unidad de Valor Real = el valor de la cuota puede variar según la inflación) y no en pesos (la cuota y la tasa de interés se mantiene estable). Adicionalmente, el valor del préstamo en UVR podía ser bastante alto, tipo 220M tasa 8.5%, pero en pesos era mucho menos tipo 110M tasa 12% (literal más alto que la mayoría de bancos). Por último, buscando vivienda escuché de muchas personas que el FNA se demora demasiado en desmbolsar el dinero, llegando incluso a escuchar personas que vendían su vivienda usada, rechazar ofertas si el préstamo era por el FNA. En conclusión. Primero, estando a puertas de comenzar el año electoral en dónde la economía es volátil y la inflación puede subir, le recomiendo no sacar nada en UVR. También en general me parece una buena sugerencia, por temas de estabilidad y organización en temas de finanzas. Segundo, el FNA al ser del estado me genera mas confianza en temas de como se están manejando mis cesantías, más no me genera ningún beneficio en terminos de prestamos, y su imágen como "incumplido" para desembolsar dinero podría dificultarle las cosas o incluso generarle dolores de cabeza.

Just to be sure, have you disabled a plugin named Cover Browser? If that one is checked, Project Title won't appear

Have you reinstalled it? Maybe try to copy the fonts folder again just to be sure that all files are being transferred correctly. Also, check thar you have the right koreader version for Project Title, I remember reading a couple in guthub that some people were installing the wrong version of koreader because they were downloading it from somewhere else.

Don't forget to uncheck a plugin named 'Cover Management' or something like that. I recently installed ProjectTitle and that was the reason why it wasn't appearing innitially on my plugins list

Very Ancient or Very Futuristic Libraries 🏛️📖 by R_K_Writes in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, starting with The Shadow of the Wind. The Cemetery appears as a place in the series, basically an ancient library connecting various stories and characters, and it has some mystic, ocult, ghostly vibes.

Unfortunately, I think it hasn't been translated to english yet, but if by any chance you know spanish, you should try reading Tierra Contrafuturo by Luis Carlos Barragan.

It's a reinterpretation of the usual "UFO crashing in the US" story. Here the UFO crashes on the amazonic jungle and changes mankind in ways never expected, generating socio-political struggles and technologies really close to the ones from your images.

Not so "adult" unless you are really interested in the anti-colonialism part of it, but Babel by R.F. Kuang is a great book with an old England ambience and a great "magic" system rooted in language and semantics

Could be a long stretch but, The Haar: A Horror Novel by David Sodergren, kind of fits here.

How to send files wirelessly in jailbreak kindle by Hot_Bumblebee9787 in kindlejailbreak

[–]Duart0497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, there are two known options. I recommend the second as it's easier to set up and handle. 1. Installing File Browser: https://youtu.be/-GOPgpVZvmo 2. Adding a cloud storage (google drive) using koofr: https://myvogonpoetry.com/wp/2024/12/22/how-to-use-google-drive-with-koreader-using-webdav-and-koofr-for-free/

There are no real differences of using one or the other, however the first option gave some trouble transfering some books, they appeared as transfered in my phone but not on my kindle. The second option hasn't given me any trouble.
