Ebay or Aliexpress, I don't remember. It works in conjunction with "Livraria cultura", though.

I bought a Kobo Clara last year and it works. I can even buy books. I live in Brazil.

Incredible. How can companies have that much power? Buying a nuclear reactor as if it were a birthday gift.

It needs to work and be reliable, else it becomes something like YaCy, that doesn't work that well. Well, Mastodon and Lemmy work fine, so that's a first step.

Yes, and there are people who already worked on terminal screens using RISC-V. But any compatibility advancement is already an advancement for backtracking how those systems work. Therefore, an advancement in Open Hardware. If we can use those systems more efficiently, it's all the better.

I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.

Well, it is a little weird that Tor was originally a military technology funded by the US Department of Defense. Also, privacy in these days is really hard to achieve.

I have worked with somewhat large codebases before using LLMs. You can ask the LLM to point a specific problem and give it the context. I honestly don't see myself as capable without a LLM. And it is a good teacher. I learn much from using LLMs. No free advertisement for any of the suppliers here, but they are just useful.

You get access to information you can't find on any place of the Web. There is a large structural bad reaction to it, but it is useful.

(Edit) Also, I would like to add that people who said that questions won't be asked anymore seemingly never tried getting answers online in a discussion forum - people are viciously ill-tempered when answering.

With a LLM, you can just bother it endlessly and learn more about the world while you do it.

Dailymotion does not allow for commenting anymore. That's why I stopped using it.

Hot stuff. I got to say, YouTube has some pretty interesting things.

I stand by the indie studios. We have proof again and again that indies just want to reach their public.

We have to accept that there is a way to break the capacity of pirating, which has been tolerated by companies by decades. VPNs can be banned, the US defense department deeply knows about Tor. So, if there is political incentive, those capacities can be banned at any time.

I think the fight needs to be a legal one. It needed to be a legal one since the inception of piracy. It just has its flaws that can be exploited by politically invested institutions.
