I’d love to jump on this, and probably will when/if I can afford to.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the weird obsession with endless growth that the stock market demands.

For perspective, the one they’re proposing to build in southern NM has an estimated pollution output larger than the entire El Paso region. https://www.riograndesierraclub.org/project-jupiter/

Yep. Could have been so much worse

Wow, big surprise this morning! I’m glad the new owner is intent on maintaining the same values.

I’ve added the link below the quote, which may help in the future.

I like that take.

I wonder if this being right on the heels is related to that.

I’d love that to be the outcome, tbh.

I appreciate the suggestion. It quite literally hadn’t even occurred to me, so I’ll be sure to do that for future posts intended for wide audiences.

Oh that’s wild! On fedia there definitely is, as in attached screenshot. I guess they decided that since nobody on reddit ever read the articles anyhow, why implement it :D

I posted the link to Ars, a pretty solid tech news source, but thank you for the direct link to Open AI’s announcement as well. The more sources the merrier!

Pretty much. In effect, they just paid 1 billion dollars to shovel their IP into the public domain woodchipper.

In my case, I simply ended up buying a subscription to Brittanica, which I started using instead. I just don’t trust wikipedia in this era. https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/04/30/our-new-ai-strategy-puts-wikipedias-humans-first/

If an ‘information source’ is planning to start using AI, I’m going to go with one that has some accountability.

How is the color? I’ve been told it makes the screen less sharp, is it noticeable? I kinda want one, been using a tablet for comics lately and it’s nowhere near as good at night.

In fact just a few minutes ago I got another bundle from Humble that I loaded onto my kobo with no issue

I have owned 5 kobos over time, and just love them.

“Almost all”… Unless you read a very specific niche, I’ve rarely looked for a book that I wanted to read and not found it elsewhere. There certainly are some that are specific to KDP, but hardly “almost all”.

My kobos have been excellent, I’ve had a few over the years. MUCH sharper screens than the kindle by and large, and they support loading epubs, pdfs, cbz, all sorts of things.

All my parking meters require an app, and all of my work logins require pressing a confirmation in an app.
