I have been using Jellyfin for over a year, brilliant thing. Makes it very easy to stream my media; I have one client catered to music, and the main one for movies/TV shows.

According to this page, you can jailbreak Kindles going all the way back to the first generation. The older you go the less features may be available to you, however definitely have a look at your model number there.\

There seems to be a firmware version that is incompatible, however that page should provide some more information about it.

Jailbroke my old Kindle, and disabled updates. It’s way better now. With the custom reader, I can just connect it straight to Calibre and copy books over via WiFi with no bother. Disabled ads and have custom screensavers too.

If anyone has an old Kindle, and is upset about this, I’d suggest to have a look to see if yours can be jailbroken.

Maybe they could pitch the idea that they theoretically could, one day, be able to afford to buy them.

This was a very, very entertaining read thank you lol.

Poor mum getting a fright from the weak reception.

I imagine the servers would have been shut down some time ago, if not for the confusion.

“So are we shutting down that game? What’s the name?”
“Let it Die.”
“Alright.”
“What are you doing?!”
“Shutting down the servers…?”
“Why?”
“… You said let it die!”
“I didn’t! I said it’s Let it Die not let it die!!”
“What?!”

… Did it give good advice, though?

Silicone can be expensive, and I have a Lidl just down the road.

This was my issue with them, back in the day. I loved the sound (minus the leaking), however they were always getting caught in my hair.

You can just use your teeth for that, it provides antioxidants or something. Starts to taste a bit funny after subsequent peelings, though.

Poppers is what they call those little black bottles with the caps, which folks in the gay community sniff. Relaxes the bum hole.
I’ve not ever tried them myself, since I’m a top anyway, however it’s popularly known around gay pubs and the like.

Fun fact, the act of putting ginger up someone’s bum was historically used as in torture, however it is now a part of BDSM communities.
It’s called Figging.

I’ve never really had the opportunity to mention this random bit of knowledge before, as believe it or not the subject has never come up before. Thanks, RFK. Jr. Sort of.

When I played the first one I just camped at the teleporters, and got many kills. It was a very long time ago, perhaps around that same time.

This is how I felt about it. Cranked the graphics up, thought it was beautifully made, yet overall the gameplay and execution felt generic. The combat becomes predictable and nothing special.

Okay Uncle Snoop.

What I’ve noticed is YouTube recommending me more obscure videos, from very small creators.

I very much appreciate whatever they’re doing, regardless of how these bigger channels are being hit by it. Yesterday I got recommended a video by an elderly woman, showing a mug warmer she bought. It was very sweet, had less than 30 views and it was a lovely contrast to the flashy, over edited videos stretching a paragraph to 10+ minutes.

Not saying the big channels are bad, I just personally like the small time channels and appreciate that YouTube has been (at least with the algorithm it has set for me) giving these small channels a shot at getting an audience.
I’ve connected with a lot of people from smaller channels, joined communities etc. yet this is much more difficult with the larger ones (in some I’ve been to, over the years, the chatrooms they set up are so huge the moderation sometimes just gives up or doesn’t even exist in any practical way).

Whilst this is true, it’s also a good reason to move to self hosting if possible.

I’ve been slowly removing my reliance on these ad filled services, even though the apks I use have ads removed, and this news just gives me more reason to ramp this up since these same APKs may no longer work without some trickery by 2027 (if they go with this plan).

Still, this all seems like constant patchwork as any and all effort is being taken to rid ourselves of control over our devices. It’s an iffy situation and I just hope people smarter than myself will continue fighting, in some manner.

I hope they don’t block VPN access.

… I’ve read through the article, and it all feels like a fever dream moments later. Maybe things like this is why aliens refuse to make contact.

Seems like the rest of the comments, sans a few, didn’t read the article.
Having flown a fair bit, Heathrow always felt rather quiet. I flew out and back to Heathrow 3 times within the span of a year, recently, and didnt notice any background music - something I became familiar with in other airports. If this is how they’re planning to introduce some music I’m all for it.
