I have a Boox Go Color, but most Boox ereaders are good devices. You can have a Calibre library self-hosted and use the Android app "Calibre sync" to access it on your ereader.
Some smart entrepreneur could offer a Mastodon-server-in-a-box service, where companies only pay hosting fees for company-name.social and a social network employee.
What difference does it make? It was still a pandemic that wasn't planned, and many people lost their lives or had their lives severely affected as a result. And a certain US president, I will not name any names, completely mismanaged it, because it took his name off the frontpages of the news papers and Fox News.
Other governments were also completely idiotic in their response.
My government, for instance, had a different roadmap out of Covid lockdowns every week or so.
Our minister of security at the time held a wedding reception while the rest of the country was in lockdown.
And our Prime Minister ("teflon Mark Rutte") just laughed it all away.
So it's not just the US where the government was stupid, but we didn't have morgues overflowing with dead bodies where they were stored in refrigerated trucks on the street, but we did have overflowing ERs and nurses on the brink of burn out, because the finances for those care units had been stripped because of neo-liberal policies in the past decade or so.
I don't think a fight is necessary. The Switch 2 is mostly for Nintendo 1st party games, and some third parties and perhaps a number of indies. There's room for the market for that. We didn't need to fight the Switch 1 either.
Found a 2 year old interview with her on Youtube, and the comments are filled with fascist-sympathizers who are desperately trying to claim that what Space Karen did wasn't what it obviously was, a nazi salute. Anyone with eyes could see that.
CBS is weaksauce, I hope Sam Kuffel finds a new, better job soon!
A fascist is someone who believes in a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.
Lets see, nation over individual? Yup, very much so
Centralized autocratic government? Yup, see DOGE.
Dictatorial leader? Given that trump openly admires dictators and that musk supports him, also yup.
And the economic regimentation has been going on for a while now. (the rich become richer, the poor become poorer and have far less power)
The denial of the existence of trans people already means a social regimentation. So that's another check mark.
The suppression of opposition: See what's happening in Texas by their team members of the republican party, where they're trying to oust the Democratic party from major political roles in committees and such.
Ach mein Leben!
