Stop it

Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.

Yeah that’s what I mean; this is a bit edgier than I’d expect out of him these days. To be fair people often tend to become less piracy-enthusiastic once they publish their own books!

He’s gotten a bit less edgy over the years. Mostly in good ways.

I’m curious what’s the financial outcome here for the customers? I don’t remember what Humane’s price model for these pins was, and none of these articles are discussing it. For example… Eh I’ll just look it up.

Oh my god it was $500-$700 up front plus a $25 monthly fee. That’s just horrible; will the customers be getting refunds? [Looks it up] Nope.

Thank you!

That’s interesting. What kind of massage are you talking about here?

To be quite honest I never allowed my Kindle or my Kobo to go online and the experience is not that different. The build quality on the Kindle is a bit better superior and I might well go back. Calibre is the real hero of the story IMO.

I just got a Kobo color (don’t recommend the color feature; no book is ever going to use it except the red-letter Bible and House of Leaves) and gifted the old Kindle to a friend. I e-reader is an awesome gift actually because for a lot of people it’s something they would never evenly in years take a chance on, but that they would love it if they tried.

Interesting. Is this top answer accurate then?

Oh, Linux started being like that some 3 or 4 years ago for me. Of course, it depends to some extent on the actual games you want to play. Destiny 2 is apparently never gonna run.

On Windows, there used to be (possibly a third-party application) a desktop widget that had a “turtle”, and if you clicked on the widget it would drop a little pixel of food, and the turtle would slowly walk over to it and consume it. I thought that was really cool.

Swing and a miss

This is the way.
