  A generally good evolutionary strategy is to be useful to humans.

  Bruh, the first iPhone didn’t have a camera

  I have a lot of shot to say about Steve Jobs, but he knew what asthetics he wanted. He would loathe the current trend with phones having a camera bulge. Look at all the iPhones released under him, look at the back of them. If they had a camera it was flush with the back of the phone.

  Whoops, I was sitting down a few hours later and suddenly remembered it and edited my comment. My bad

  Mine was when, i don’t remember, speaker of the house ®?, said his favorite band was rage against the machine.

  Like dude, those guys hate you.

  Yeah it’s a profoundly stupid take.

  There’s the famous Whoopi Goldberg quote about how as a little kid she saw it with a black woman not beimg a maid and running around the house screaming about it in celebration

  There’s the famous story about Nichelle Nichols wanting to quit to do plays until MLK jr told her that she needed to stay for black people everywhere to be represented as an equal member of the crew, and it was the only show he’d let his kids stay up late to watch.

  From its inception it’s been “woke” by daring to put both a black woman and an asian man in roles where they were to be treated as equals and valued members of the group.

  I’d like to add more examples, but it’s been so long since I’ve watched any star trek.

  I remember getting flagged on my sources and properly attributed quotes. I’m sorry joe schmoe and I both quoted the same article and used the same quote from it.

  I once applied to a job at microsoft, and got a rejection email from them, on their own email platform, from 5 minutes in the future.

  Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.

  Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I’m fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide “welp, I’m not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse” leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.

  Fun fact, IE is still on windows 11, and it can be used though not through normal means. To any C#/.NET devs out there, on winforms the “browser” control is IE, and is still supported. Additionally some programs (like my company’s ERP) still can and do launch full standalone IE under certain situations.

  It’s all good man. Different people have different wants and needs. Your hands are a bit full with other stuff so setting up an ereader the way I have with mine is just too much om your already full plate.

  Have a wonderful day and I hope you can find a good solution for yourself.

  The process isn’t hard or time consuming, but I understand, this sorta stuff isn’t for everyone. I’m just a huge proponent of “this is my device it’ll do as I say”

  I have a Kobo n437, I swaped the internal sd card with a 32gb one and installed InkBox/Quill OS.

  You’ll need a bit of linux skills to use a bigger storage solution to its full potential. The project is currently on hiatus as they port the OS over to the pine64 e-reader.

  Worth noting otherwise, currently pictures in epub formated books don’t load (at least on mine don’t know about other models) so youll want to convert them to pdf.
