"Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
Does anyone use the built-in #Calibre Reader? The web service that comes with Calibre? It runs on any web browser and keeps all my books and annotations in sync. It takes some time to get it set up, but it's been serving me well for a few years. I'd love to find more tips and tricks (and CSS styles)

Does Google ever provide real change logs for Android apps? If it's just going to be this every time, why bother?

You can install #tailscale on a Chromebook in the Linux container and as an Android app. But be careful running them together. I've experienced random restarts when both are running. I haven't dug into the specifics, but it seems obvious that it would cause problems.

The Verge has gone paywall! Too bad, it was one of my frequently visited sites from my RSS reader.

Ironically, studies also show that the more a person trusts common sense, the more likely they are to be wrong.

MS open-sources VS Code only weeks after I switched back to Vim full time. Coincidence? Absolutely.

New Linux users - the command is umount, not unmount. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

Syncthing-fork 1.29.6.1 (Fdroid) updated and broke sync on my Pixel 7 Pro. I had upgraded from the old Syncthing recently, and it was still using my existing folders. To fix this issue I had to remove the folder from ST-F and re-share to the phone from a shared node. Anyone else have this issue?
