      It's not that hard to free your kindle. :)
      See: https://kindlemodding.org/
      I recommend you try it if your kindle is supported by the jailbreaks.

      I use (https://koreader.rocks/) on my Kindle, and I like it far more than Kindle's native interface.
      KOReader is also available on other platforms (e.g., Android, Linux) so you can try it there first!
      It can even synchronise reading progress between devices, so I can resume reading on my tablet/phone. :)
      (yes, I shill koreader. its awesome)

        Oh! On the desktop I use @tokodon@kde.social (Qt6) and, seldom, Tuba (libed waiter).

        Tokodon has some problems here and there, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a snac/mastoAPI problem or just a Tokodon bug.

          I think the project's main goal is spreading awareness // keeping people informed rather than boycotting AI projects.
          At the end of the day, it's up to you what to do with that information and, well, many turn to boycotting.

          Regardless, I'm tired, too. I can definitely relate. guhhh... –_–

              fwiw I've been using with mastodon clients for a while now and it does the job.

              unfortunately, afaik you don't get push notifs via the masto api, so you either have to poll, or get them via ntfy.sh/telegram/email

                          There are ways to synchronise them with one another.

                          A question one could ask is whether there could be a way in Forgejo/${FORGE} to keep those synchronised...
                          You can already use workflows for that, though.

                            Minor tone suggestion:
                            SailfishOS objectively has extremely poor privacy and security compared to the Android Open Source Project. It's a fact.
                            While I wholeheartedly appreciate your providing sources to your arguments, saying "It's a fact." doesn't make them any truer.

                            On the contrary, in my opinion it is detrimental to your argument, because that statement not only means nothing, but is also often used by people who don't have any meaningful evidence and reach for this to falsely 'reinforce' their position.

                            I suggest omitting statements like these, and just presenting information supporting your claim. (Like you already do :))

                            Anyways, just thought I'd share.
                            Keep up the great work!!

                                                Technically, there are alternatives like or , which tend to have most of GitH*b's features, but without the enshittification.

                                                No idea if it'd be worthwhile to use them for Gentoo, though.
                                                I've only used both for personal stuff, with the exception of hosting Forgejo for my group of friends.
                                                I haven't been involved with Gentoo's infrastructure enough to tell :p

                                                  I'm curious... do you think there would be any point in relying more on established and externally maintained solutions for the infrastructure?

                                                  I have the—perhaps incorrect—impression that the Gentoo project depends on a lot of custom (an sometimes legacy) software, and is suffering from decisions made decades ago...
                                                  Well, that and the fact that some components of it are incredibly complex (sob Portage <3 sob).

                                                  But maybe I'm missing the point here... -c-
