About keeping the children safe

It’s always security when someone wants to take our freedom away. Always security…

In metal gear solid snake eater there’s a scene where we cross a river seeing every enemy we killed.

That’s interesting to know. I’d be devastated if I spent more morey for one and felt like it wasn’t worth it. Those devices are too expensive around here.

By the way, don’t you find it useful for reading stuff on the internet, like web articles, news, etc? When I looked for one, I also imagined myself connecting a bluetooth keyboard and using it for writing.

Maybe my different experience comes from living in the global south. All of the are expensive in here, so kindle has no price advantage

I mentioned some in this other comment: https://lemmy.zip/post/49532624/21704502

I used a cybook odyssey for more than 10 years, so I guess bookeen devices can be a good choice. I’m currently using a refurbrished tolino vision 2 and the experience is also much better than the kindles I tried.

But if I had more money, I would probably have bought a device from boox. They make nice ereaders, some even with android,being much more flexible than a kindle. Devices from bigme and the meebooks also look nice, but I don’t know if they have good cases.

I’m sure there are other good options around. These are just the ones I know.

There are so many alternative ereaders that are better than the kindle, that I don’t get why people buy it.

I once borrowed one from a friend and it didn’t even let me organize media in directories from a pc. The directory structure got all messed up and it was a pain to follow my study sequence. Any cheap Chinese ereader would allow that.

Whoa, it’s beautiful. I’d be still using it with some usb adapter.

This is so cute *-*

So they downloaded it all to train their models and didn’t even seed back!?

I found myself using my phone less and less too, and to be honest, I’m even feeling healthier mentally. Portable devices were supposed to improve our life, not make it worse. Big tech did something really terrible to phones :(

Teaching people without computing skills to use linux is actually easier than teaching windows. Most trouble people have with linux comes from being used to windows and having difficulty to adapt.
