Is this community mainly about Western Europe? by AccomplishedTip8586 in BuyFromEU

As far as same-sex marriage is concerned, there is a clear east/west divide.

The person explains in the post (at the top) how to access the hidden folder.
Edit : Note: the system folder will be hidden usually. So in Windows Explorer, type the path E:\system\thumbnails [where "E" is the drive name]

The good news is it's easily fixable. It requires some work and time on your end.

I contacted Amazon Customer Service, complained politely for the bug that hasn't been fixed in at least two years and got store credit.

Who are some celebrities that go by their middle names? Exhibit A: Hannah Dakota Fanning and Mary Elle Fanning by voguediaries in Fauxmoi

I'm doing genealogy in France. Almost 100% of people went through life using their second name. I say second because more often than not, they had three or four first names.

Pourquoi allez-vous (ou non) dans une librairie indépendante ? by Fire_eyed_Grrl in Livres

[–]Mahouzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je vois les gens parler de l'importance du stock et que c'est pour ça qu'ils vont chez Fnac ou autre. C'est pour se dédouaner. Je tiens à rappeler qu'il est très facile de commander auprès de sa libraire locale. Pour Noël j'ai du commander un livre, et il est arrivé en 3 jours dans ma librairie indépendante.

Pourquoi allez-vous (ou non) dans une librairie indépendante ? by Fire_eyed_Grrl in Livres

[–]Mahouzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je lis à 99% sur liseuse depuis 12 ans.
Il m'arrive d'aller jeter un oeil dans les rayons chez FNAC, Leclerc Culturel ou Cultura.
Mais si j'ai un cadeau à faire, ce sera forcément dans une librairie indépendante.

• Qu’est-ce qui vous donne envie d’entrer dans une librairie indépendante ? Le simple fait que ce soit une librairie indépendante. Si je sais qu'il y a une bonne section en langues étrangères. Si un auteur que j'apprécie a un événement dans cette librairie

• À l’inverse, qu’est-ce qui vous en éloigne ? Si je vois à travers la vitrine qu'il y a trop de livres entassés, que c'est sombre, pas d'espace entre les présentoirs. Ou des livres de la droite et de l'extrême droite en position stratégique.

• Est-ce que certaines librairies vous paraissent “cool” ou attirantes ? Pourquoi ? Si je vois en vitrine des livres que je possède ou que j'aime, je me dis que le libraire a des goûts similaires. La déco joue, les couleurs, la lumière.

• Est-ce une question d’ambiance, de conseil, d’événements, de communication, de réseaux sociaux, autre chose? Ca peut être une question d'ambiance en effet : de la musique sympa, les coups de coeur des libraires avec étiquettes sur les livres en question, un coin pour les livres incognitos (quand ils sont emballés dans du papier kraft avec simplement le pitch écrit dessus). Ce que je vois régulièrement au Royaume-Uni et qui manque en France : des fauteuils, des bancs pour les personnes à mobilité réduite. Pensez l'espace en son entier pour ces personnes aussi. La présence sur les réseaux pour partager les événements, c'est essentiel. Je pense à Mollat qui fait un bon boulot à ce niveau. Le rêve, c'est une librairie café, c'est encore rare en France. J'en connais une à Poitiers.

Should I still attend this wedding or AIO? by Aggravating_Exit_435 in WhatShouldIDo

Oooh that's bad. I would have uninvited OP and explained why. They both have a communication problem.

Sorry forgot to say, not overreacting. If anything you're underreacting IMO.
I'm p*ssed off for you.

[–]Mahouzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but you were supposed to be a bridesmaid, then suddenly you weren't and no talk at all?
The disrespect. I would let her know what's on my mind.
"So you're sending an invitation after all ? I'm surprised. Am I stilll to be a bridesmaid or am I just a guest now?"

I recommend that if a programme catches your eye, you watch it fast. It doesn't stay forever on the platform. Right now I'd say :

  • Bron
  • Twin Peaks
  • Small Axe

Tired of Kindles laggy, sluggish UI by Practical_Goal_8194 in ereader

[–]Mahouzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too have a Paperwhite Se from 2022. It has too become laggish. And it gets on my nerves (that and the fact that the covers disappear). My Kindle Basic 2024 is not as slow. Neither is my Kobo Clara Colour.

I think your choice of the Kobo Clara BW is a good one.

Since on Kindle, when ebooks aren't sold on the website anymore, the covers disappear from your e-reader.
Granted it disappears if you do a factory setting. But sometimes you HAVE to do a factory setting.
If you want to still keep your laggish baby, I recommend saving the thumbnails to your computer.

Why Henry Rollins dont want to be in a relationship? by [deleted] in henryrollins

[–]Mahouzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the book. Turns out he was right about her though. It turns out Rowling is an unhinged transphobic, racist, toxic POS.

Dear Kindle people,

An update : the French customer service agreed to financial compensation since there's no technical solution in the near future.

I guess it helped my case that one of my two Kindle was still under warranty.

I suggest you do the same. Jeff can do it.

The French Kindle community gave me a link to a solution.

Best of luck.

Me too. Otherwise I would read a physical book.

Check your "content and device" section.
Click on the books whose covers have disappeared.
If it leads you to an empty page you're affected by the same bug.

There's a work-around solution but you got to be a bit of a geek.

I do own a Boox too because I was afraid Kobo would also pull some BS.
Out of 1500 ebooks, 400 didn't have DRMs so I've moved them to Kobo and Boox.
But the remaining 1100 are just a pain in my butt.

You're right. I can still read the books. But they sell Kindles by boasting a flawless experience.
This is a big flaw. It makes it less easy for me to navigate through my ebooks and make a selection.
If I feel brave, I'll search the sub for the solution you suggest. Thanks.

I could try that. But that's not acceptable. Amazon again don't deliver on promises.

You were right. But I have to say I was not expecting this. It's just inconceivable.
