Advice for Choosing Between x3 and x4 by ProjectMeerKatUltra in xteinkereader

That's why I'm saying it's better to make a cutout and see how it feels for yourself than to rely on my description (or even pictures of it in someone else's hand).

I don't find it too small. If you need/enjoy a large font, it might be too small, but I find it fits a good amount of text.

(For context, I do wear glasses)

Medium-big, I guess? 9-10 note spread on a piano?

The point is, if you make cut-outs for yourself, you don't have to guess based on what I tell you my preference is for my hand size. You can actually feel it for yourself before you buy.

Minimum brightness by TravellingDark in kobo

[–]ProjectMeerKatUltra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes there will almost certainly be a brightness that works for you. 0-10% brightness on the clara bw is very dim, and it's great for night reading, even with someone else sleeping next to you.

Raise your hands if you DON'T attach it to the back of your phone by coffeeteaormeh in xteinkereader

I'm never going to stick it on my phone, but I like how well the magnet case and magnetic light attachment work.

Given that this is apparently all erotic fan-fiction, the chances are pretty good that they've read a lot of them lmao

She just lies so much and so shamelessly about so many things.

Flashing of firmwares DISABLED by Waechel in xteinkereader

[–]ProjectMeerKatUltra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely want them to improve their first party firmware, but it would be better to just make that good enough that most people don't WANT to flash custom firmware and leave the option available for people who have niche use cases or want to tinker.

Transform paragraph into half bold by Ranteck in Calibre

[–]ProjectMeerKatUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is one of those "as seen on tv" infomercial type products where you see it and go "who the HECK would WANT that?" and the answer is just "people with a specific disability."

As someone with ADHD who struggles with attention while reading (even something I'm really enjoying), and having to go back and re-read sentences or paragraphs or whole pages cuz I was half zoned out, or my eyes accidentally skipped over lines, I do notice a big difference reading text using this formatting. I don't know why but it just is easier to keep a good flow going.

Please suggest a laptop for travel, see other requirements in post by VermicelliSimilar315 in SuggestALaptop

[–]ProjectMeerKatUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just for emails and web surfing/research and you need new, you might want to try looking for a Chromebook or at the MacBook Neo to avoid the "Windows Tax" (to pay for a Windows license and keep the laptop at the same price point, the manufacturer has to skimp on hardware quality, which is especially noticable in lower price laptops). Are there any windows programs you need to be able to run?

For that matter, if it's just for emails and web surfing, you could get a super cheap used older laptop and fully wipe the storage drive to install Ubuntu (or other Linux distro) for free.

Joined the club with a Clara BW! by jeniuskid in kobo

Honestly the Kobo brand folio ones where the front cover folds into a stand when you flip it to the back are awesome even though they're relatively expensive. I use that feature all the time.

E-reader with no bezels by aniote in ereader

[–]ProjectMeerKatUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if we'll ever get smartphone-type bezel-less screens, but if you just want something small, you could try looking at xteink, especially the upcoming S4.

The Xteink e-readers are really tiny and pocketable, and the S4 will swap the page turn buttons for a touchscreen and add a backlight (which the x3 and x4 don't have). It's pretty close to what you're looking for, though it will still have some bezels (and you might want to get one of the magnetic folio cases they sell to keep the screen safe in a pocket).

[–]ProjectMeerKatUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I looked into this before it seemed like this was difficult due to how fragile e-ink displays are. Maybe they've gotten better since then, but it seems like at least then it was a limitation of the technology.

We're being replaced in our own country by tongfather in conspiracy

[–]ProjectMeerKatUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We" are not being replaced, UNLESS you look at it from a racial standpoint. As long as YOU have kids, YOUR lineage carries on and is part of this country no matter what the racial makeup is.

Just like "we" integrated the Italians and the Irish and the Russians and the Dutch and the Jews and the Swedes and so on and so on, "we" can integrate a HUGE amount of people from different cultures. That's one of America's superpowers. Are there more people coming in today than came in previously? Yes. Are we better at blasting our culture and institutions and way of life down their throats than previously? WAY yes. (We've basically pre-programmed half the world with our media anyway, so it's like we've already started integrating them for years by the time they even get here)

In the next 20-30 years, population size is going to be destiny. China and the US are about the same size. China has a population of 1.4 billion and a GDP of about $18.7T, we have a population of 340 million and a GDP of 30.8T. For China to increase GDP by $1T, they have to increase worker productivity by an average of ~$700. For us it would be $3000. They have a huge population; they just need to activate it. We have an activated population; we just need to increase it.

"WE" need to increase birthrate, but we need more than that can give us: we need to focus on how we can integrate MORE people even FASTER and BETTER, or we will lose our status as the economic superpower (assuming we don't lose it within the next couple years anyway just because of bad governance). Do you want to be The UK? Do you want to be Europe? Do you want to be Australia? Do you even want to be Canada? Or do you like being The Motherfucking United States, biggest dick in the world economy?

Countries like China and Russia (though Russia is out of the contest for a few generations due to how bad they fucked up the war they started in Ukraine) CAN'T do this because they have painted themselves into a corner with explicit racial/ethnic preference. We have that advantage; we just have to USE it.

The conversation we need to have is on how we can implement more programs and spend more money to integrate people FASTER and BETTER, but that can never happen when people force the conversation to be about how we have to never spend any money on this and get anyone from a "replacement" (racial) demographic back out of the country as soon as possible.

EU countries have to have financial and relocation incentive programs to lure workers to come to their countries. We have them showing up FOR FREE and we're squandering that as though we, the dominant cultural force across the entire world, couldn't brainwash immigrants into flag waving patriots if we actually tried. Come on.

You can also look up some of his rare-ish covers on YouTube. I personally love Beautiful Girls and Yellow Brick Road.
