The smallest margin on Kindle Scribe is too large. Changing text justification is not possible. Books cannot be uploaded directly with a USB cable without additional software (calibre). Gesture configuration (tap, two-finger tap, etc). Koreader can do everything you want and is significantly better than the stock reader. Unlike other vendors, kindle requires root to install it.

slezyr··on Developer account removed by Apple
It is strange to mention that he is in Chile and not mention that he is a Russian citizen, and the apps come from a Russian company that was recently re-registered(??? or not) somewhere else.

It could be sanctions, and it is not related to reviews at all.

slezyr··on Developer account removed by Apple
Russian guy saying that he is in Chile in the first sentence? Absolutely nothing suspicious.

It is even a Russian company. It was registered a bit before the war started and liquidated not so long ago.

According to Russia's media watchdog, the network estimates around 300,000 users based in China.[63] As of 14 February 2018, China authorities unblocked VKontakte and it was fully accessible in the country.[64]

This is hilarious.

> > But as importantly, it will provide the level of commercial support that bigger studios need to be able to switch to Godot.

> Nobody is going to do that.

> You know how Hacker News is really negative about stuff that turns out to be a huge success? There should be a name for the opposite, where a bunch of nerds get really excited about something that will definitely remain insignificant.

Let's call it trolling.

I work with B2B software(software library) and... professional support sells well, and companies are ready to pay a lot for it. Many customers won't even buy the software without support.

slezyr··on EU regulators make anti-speeding tech and 'black box' mandatory by 2035
Eh... Apart from messing with input, I like it. Sometimes, it's hard to notice when the "city", "village" starts and reduce your speed. Our highways sometimes might pass through the small cities. It's european thing. It's in my interest not to speed there. Usually, only OpenStreetMaps(OsmAnd) helps me see when the city starts.

Well, I always had extremely bad tearing with X11 and Intel, AMD GPUs, and no issues with Wayland.

No, they did not. The tearing is still there.

slezyr··on Ivan Krastev on Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
> Or that the attack on Kyiv began with the destruction of the television tower just as NATO attacked the television tower in Belgrade in 1999?

No, an attack on the tower[1st March] happened after the most significant attacks[26th Febrary] on Kyiv.

Even not young Ukrainians. It's very stressful for everyone to hear as planes fly over the residential buildings and drop their bombs.

slezyr··on Russian defence ministry warns Kyiv residents to leave
Just a moment ago, they completely destroyed a part of the house in the city near Kyiv with an airstrike.

slezyr··on Russian defence ministry warns Kyiv residents to leave
They already do this in Kharkiv. Yesterday and today, they were shelling residential areas for no reason. Also, today they dropped two bombs from the planes. The first bomb was dropped on the city center. And the second one near the residential building and hospital.
slezyr··on Ukrainian “Snake Island” Troops Reportedly Alive
They initially said that their fate is unknown. However, Russia made a video with "border officers" from Snake island, and now they believe that they might be alive. But... Russia reused the same actors for another propaganda video... Their fate is still unknown.

slezyr··on Ukrainians turned to encrypted messaging app Signal as Russians invaded
No, it's a PR company from Signal. I'm in Kharkiv right now. I know no one who uses Signal here. Everyone still uses telegram for all the communication and news.

There is a lot of news about Signal, but it's simply not here. And yes, if I have to replace it, I'll go with something that does not require a phone number. Mobile networks might go down.

slezyr··on Ukraine Conflict Live Map
Full-scale might not happen, but it absolutely does not mean any kind of peace. There is no interest for russia to stop daily shelling and keep capturing in small pieces. Russia has zero interest to stabilize the situation they walked away from all the agreements and negotiations.

Why not? Nothing stops him.
slezyr··on Ukraine Conflict Live Map
Yea, that's a bullshit. Ukrainian-Ukrainian here. Russians now claim that they will "protect" the entire Donetsk and Lugansk regions and expand if needed to do so. People die right now MORE than in previous "peaceful" times. They already fucking shelled a kindergarten, school, and killed a civilian (was a rarity before).
