Kindle's are currently about 30% off on Amazon's websites. Seems to be every model in all colors and variations. The deals are for Prime members only, but you might be eligible to try Prime for free.

The deals are at least on amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and amazon.de.

Would also be great if the new comments would be highlighted.

It once landed on a ledge above the deposit, so you only needed to drop the bombs.

Does plus addresses help circumvent that? I think most email providers supports plus addressing (also known as sub-addressing). You can add plus sign and any string before the at sign. For example: [email protected]. The string between plus and at signs can be anything, and all these addresses points to your normal inbox with the added benefit that you can filter them into different folders.

PS. Lemmy version 0.18.2 was released today. It fixes the vulnerability and has some other improvements as well.

Also be wary when using apps and especially when enabling push notifications. Lemmy API currently lacks any kind of support for partial access to an account (unless this has changed recently). So, apps cannot, for example, get read only access to your account's inbox. Apps can get either no access or full access. When you sign up for push notifications, an authentication token is stored to the push notification server which gives full access to your account to who ever happens to get their hand on that token. If there, for example, happens to be a security vulnerability on the push notification server, it might leak those tokens.

If you have enabled push notifications on some Lemmy app, and want to invalidate the token, you can just change your password.

Here's a post by Memmy for Lemmy's developer about push notifications: https://lemmy.ml/post/1534493

As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

Kindle updates are always slow. Can take months to receive an update. You can download the file, put it to the root folder of your Kindle and restart your Kindle to update it.

 

There's a new firmware for Kindles from 7th gen Paperwhite to the newest Kindle basic. Newest firmware for Scribe is 5.16.2 (May 2023).

Release notes are very short and very generic:

Version 5.16.2.1 – June 2023

Here's what's new:

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

Not listed in release notes, but there is now a button for annotations, that I don't think were there before.

Have you noticed any other changes or improvements?

Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

Both kbin and Lemmy are reddit-like content/link aggregators. Kbin combines content aggregation with twitter-like microblogging.

Hogfather has a two part TV movie adaptation. It's pretty good, I think. But it's a Christmas movie, so I don't know if you want to watch it middle of summer.

It's available on YouTube, but split to four parts for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcGPPeBbIv0KY_r7QS_a5c_A0uX19pMhB

It's all inline images. I assume the devs haven't implemented image markdown yet.

Lemmy uses exclamation mark for communities to distinguish them from users: !community@instance vs @user@instance.

 

A new beta of Mlem for Lemmy was released on 2023-07-02. Among many other improvements, it has greatly improved VoiceOver support. But there are also the following known issues:

  • Large posts will prevent scrolling by using left and right gestures with VoiceOver
  • Unable to navigate to a community from a post with VoiceOver

You can read all the details from their announcement post.

You can download the update from TestFlight. Remember that there are two separate TestFlight betas. The first ended when there was a change in the development team and won't be updated anymore. If you are in that beta, you need to join the new beta to get the new update.
