  • Does this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?

    It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.

    Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.

    Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.

    Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)

    Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!

    This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!







  • Though these new phones and most Samsung devices generally have high quality, durable, and reliable hardware, the devs are making pretty crappy choices about software changes and some hardware choices are just disappointing… This screen, the camera bumps, the old and outdated battery tech.

    Samy is falling behind and mucking things up. They’re only likely to stay relevant because of their long standing history.

    I mean, I wanna like their tech, but mostly I don’t right now, even though I used to love it… I can see business pros continuing to use their devices, but I don’t want an iPhone clone personally.


  • Meh, far as I’m concerned they can still talk about all these events and facts but they should always do so in a positive and celebratory manner.

    Not, this site remembers whatever genocide, but instead, this site remembers the soldiers/citizens who faught against a ruthless group who were at the time commiting genocidal acts against indigenous people… You don’t even need to name the group of assholes. But it’s fine to specifically name the heros and their heroic acts.

    Perhaps post education signs that talk about positive changes to an area.

    Like in 1998 John Soandso lead a campaign to restore the area you see before you to the healthy natural state it’s in today. Because of that campaign bla bla birds and native plants have returned to the area over the years since. Previous to John’s campaign the area had been heavily over polluted by nearby industrial factories.

    Keep any of the bad stuff referenced as a relevant afterthought. Use the good stuff as examples of what to do, of people to look up to.

    I saw some similar signs in NC last time I went through, like the ones celebrating the life of a master builder in area who had helped build many of the still standing historic building. Oh yeah, he was also black and a slave, but that wasn’t the point, so it was just kinda noted within the context of the details of his life… Instead the sign celebrated his craft and contributions to the community.










  • It’s funny watching this argument.

    I’m from a very hippy community.

    I’m a collectivist.

    I’m extremely far left & progressive.

    I’m wholly anti-fascist.

    I’m also 100% in agreement with you regarding including differing opinions regardless of how extreme.

    Inclusivity only brodens the divide and limits opportunities for people who harbor extremist views to be influenced toward developing more balanced, functional, and beneficial perspectives.

    Moderation can be used to soften their influences in our commuty while including them allows our community to influence them.


  • ‘You people’ is typically defined by the attached action. ‘You people’ are the people who actually do that thing, whatever it is.

    If you don’t do it, ‘you people’ is not you.

    If you do do it, ‘you people’ is you.

    The point is not about ‘who’, it’s an oppositional statement about the ‘what’, the action, and implies it’s bad, or more importantly that the speaker doesn’t approve.

    Like: ‘You people, always with the child raping.’

    If you don’t rape children, ‘you people’ isn’t you.

    But also, the speaker is implying that child raping is bad, or something they don’t approve of, and something they don’t do.
