I think you are missing the point of using an e-ink device.. I don't think anyone would use one because of "how powerful" it is.

I don't want to read for hours on end on my phone or computer. With this, I can turn backlight off and use a lamp, like a normal book. Better for my eyes and relaxing.

Also, having dedicated devices for certain activities will change how you interact with them when using them. If I read a book on my computer I am tempted to look things up, get some work done or play a game. This is just for leisurely reading, and so when I pick it up that is what I do with it.

If you read a lot (books, not documentation which requires looking things up) then it really is a lot better for your eyes and a better experience to use e-ink.

Been using an Onyx Boox Nova 3 for maybe 8 years now. It runs android, drm free everything (edit: it has no store really, it is basically empty. Supports virtually any filetype you can read. Epub, pdf, mobi, cbz). For some android could be a distraction from reading, but the browser is slow enough to were you use it to hop on annas-archive, get a book and then quickly close it. File transfer via shared wifi or USB, good reader, some nice reading stats without needing any account. Recommend if anyone wants to jump the amazon ship.

Nicotine and some chocolate these days. I always take a cup of coffee and a piece of cocolate every day. It is sacred at this point.

I've been listening through the Ozric Tentacles discography. Idk why I never got into Space Rock before but as a fan of Psytrance it is kind of a no brainer really.

Got into it after reading Eat Static are ex-members of Ozric, and so decided to check it out.

And right now Ishq, ambient. Was a feature on Jon Hopkins latest album RITUAL.

Juno is so good. Sounds like a very nice weekend.

Yeah, but at least I can make a grilled cheese unlike that other dunce Gordon

For the moment, I just don't engage in political discussion on Lemmy. It is way to extreme for me in general. It makes sense tho that those who don't feel their opinions fit anywhere else (or get them banned etc.) gather in a place that allows for freer discussion, which I think is a good thing really.

And also just posting about niche music makes me happier than getting angry online so.. That's been a good motivation.

Nice. Any chance my existing spotify accound could get banned or something? I want some QOL changes but am afraid of losing ~400 playlists..

I'll just wait until DOGE delete the cdc webpage before clicking this link.

Edit:

sporadic fatal insomnia

Ah, as opposed to the regularly scheduled kind

This whole article reads insane

Experts eventually concluded that the spread of infection in cattle was likely tied to feeding practices. They speculate it began when cows were fed meat and bone meal from other cows that had prion disease.

that's fucked up please stop

I'm sorry but I am gonna choose to forget I ever learnt about this hellspawn.

It's ridiculous people are still pretending that the Trump admin aren't fascists even tho they do everything to make it crystal clear.

Yes I figured but wasn't sure if I wasn't missing something lol. Well at least I learned a new term (defederated).

Stressful as fuck, glad you are moving away from that.

When I say decentralization I refer to the fact that it is federated. Not sure what you mean.

Ah I see haha nice. Glad you like it, incredibly overlooked imo.

They are awesome :) check out the chopped and screwed remix as well if you like it

I have never gotten into twitter so I couldn't say, and I narrowly missed MySpace as well..

It was a lot of fun tho

Whole thing is amazing, did a relisten today after posting and it always goes just as hard. Crooked Streets is a classic tho

It is a neat place, thank you!
