  This is why Winamp went from version 3 to 5, since “no one wants to download a Winamp 4-skin.”

  There’s no way that Elon let her have any actual autonomy to make decisions for the company. I’m not even convinced Elon didn’t just tell her to say that.

  Also, assuming those are her own words, she didn’t say that she did any of those things, just that she had the “responsibility” to do so. If that was really her responsibility, she epically failed at it.

  I’m not convinced she actually did anything as “CEO.” I’m sure that Elon just told her what to do/say and she made it seem like they were her ideas. There’s no way she had any ability to make any real changes or do any real work.

  WTF are you buying from Temu? Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer actual products, not literal garbage.

  Note-taking app. Each note is a markdown file, so you can add formatting.

  I thought you could load bookshop.org eBookd onto a Kindle, but it seems they have their own DRM and you need to use their own app…

  Some of their books are DRM free, but not all. I thought they all were, but it turns out I was wrong.

  So… maybe even bookshop.org isn’t the best option for Kindles.

  I guess there really is only one option left…

  To all the people who are saying “I’ll just pirate books,” you are aware you can buy eBooks from places that Amazon, right?

  Have a look at bookshop.org/ebooks You can buy books/eBooks and support local bookstores that aren’t Barnes & Nobles or Amazon.

  I’d suggest you download/archive your Kindle books and then buy your eBooks from elsewhere. You can still load those onto your Kindle.
