  1. Yes I wasn't clear - I meant via Amazon's store. Thanks.
  2. How much of the video did you watch? I'm not aware of other game companies that enable 3rd party integrations into their item systems. This isn't just "lootboxes bad" - it's Valve profiting from actual gambling happening on external sites.
  3. Their games and systems tie into huge gambling operations on 3rd party sites

    If you have 30mins for a video I recommend People Make Games' documentary on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMmNy11Mn7g

  4. Can you create the epub and pdf files yourself and have them distributed unaltered?
  5. Unavoidable ads in the UI of the TV itself? I would hope not.

    On channels/services that you might choose to access via the TV? That's a separate matter.

  6. In case it's unclear, KOReader is an application you can run - not replacement firmware.

    For the stock reader I believe this was the option I changed to disable automatic refresh entirely : https://old.reddit.com/r/kobo/comments/pbqey3/page_refresh_i...

  7. I think installing KOReader would let you configure it https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Ko...

    That said I have a 2012 Kobo Mini with the option in stock firmware (and an undocumented "only refresh when I choose to" setting too). Maybe there's a firmware update for yours that would add it?

  8. Firefox's right-click menu has "Copy Link Without Site Tracking"

    uBlock Origin can remove them before loading a URL, some examples (they go in My Filters)

        *$removeparam=/^utm_/
        *$removeparam=fbclid
        *$removeparam=si
  9. Anyone know how to make a LG TV wake an AppleTV from sleep?

    Once it's awake buttons presses on the LG remote are passed through to it but I have to keep the Apple remote around for that first step.

  10. while Soulseek has existed for 24 years, I mention it in case GP's use didn't overlap.
  11. I thought I'd buy Cory Doctrow's Enshittification ebook direct from his website. Surprised to be redirected to Paypal with no other option.
  12. and v8.0 released today
  13. Oh - I'm not seeing any paywall.
  14. That option wasn't added until some time later.
  15. Anecdata: I use it every day to wake my windows desktop PC

    and to hibernate it: ssh -f desktop 'shutdown /h'

  16. can you install fdroid from the graphene store? signal is available in there: https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=46082592
  17. which is easily enabled in f-droid: settings > repositories > toggle it on
