How is IAs approach much different to that of a regular library?

True, they were digitising physical books and lending copies. But this is not much different from how a regular library works (assuming controlled digital lending, yeah I heard aboud Covid period 😕).

I’m not an expert on American law (know nothing about it), but reading the articles and comments I thing there’s an argument to be made for IA functioning as a library.

Yeah, that. I have no need for mobile syncing, but I believe loqseq provided syncing works via git

I use logseq for work notes and Obsidian for personal. Obsidian is more markdown which I like for my loose notes. logseq, on the other hand, is more focused on productivity and it’s fully opensource. Obsidian is only free for personal use, however their notes being closer to standart markdown means that they could be openned with any text editor and be just as functional.

Syncing between computers is easy – it’s just a git repo. Dealing with mobile is tricier but I never needed it so can’t comment much.

Where could I follow up on this story?

Or a page that uses only half the screen width in the center. Just use the damn screen!

Dunno, it’s fine for me. As a messenging app it moslty gets out of my way and lets me communicate. It has all of the important functionality and creature comforts. Also, it already has some bloat (stories, whatever that crypto payment thing was/is). And the UI / UX is perfectly fine as is.

Although, as a dev myself, I hate UX work, it’s just boring and unfulfilling. I get why UX is often an afterthought. First it has to be functional, anything beyond that is secondary.

Yeah, a one to one conversion might not be possible. Although this example also approximates the image by making it two tone and using simple shapes to compose more complex ones.

It still feels as a non-trivial task tho.

This feels a lot like vector graphics. I would imagine one could automate SVG to CSS translation.

So there is a thing I kind of pirate, but not entirely – e-books.

But thing is, our public library page has e-books and some of them are available to be read online. Now I cannot officially download them, however opening a network tab on browser console shows me a request to download the whole .epub file. So what I do is copy that request as curl and just download it via terminal.

Is it piracy, probably, is this resource publicly available for me to read, definetly yes.

Other than that I don’t really pirate much else.

I’ve been using Kobo Libra 2 for more than a year now. It’s good for me as I mostly read books. It’s black and white and has adjustable (intensity and temperature) backlight. One thing I’d recomend – get a case as well. The screen is rather soft and scraches easily.

Other than that I can’t recomend much else since I haven’t had anything else. It’ll depend very much on your use case: do you need a collored screen, what do you intend to read, comics, PDFs, regular books.

Reading regular books screen size does not matter as much as for PDFs and comics. And for comics colored screen might be a better choise.

My general recomendation: an adjustable backlight is a must, both intensity and temperature, deside on a size and color requirements and start looking for something in your price range. Kobo and Onyx were the brands I looked at first, but there are others.

I’m pretty much the same. Although my e-reader supports generic epub files, so I go to whichever book shop site and look for ebooks.

When I bought my e-reader, I specifically looked for one that wouldn’t lock me into their ecosystem too much.

uBlock usually blocks those cookie pop-us for me, didn’t really noticed them.

I mean technical problems require technical knowledge. I don’t see how this is that much different from adding a drive to a Windows system and then having to format it so that it works properly.

Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still fuction?

Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?

I would say yes and yes.

Best way to partition my / and /home directories?

While I didn’t do it on Fedora with KDE, I did it on Ubuntu GNOME. I can’t imagine the process being much different. You basically just need to set up a partition, mount it on /home and copy the files, after all /home directory is nothing special, it just contains files.

Now my setup involved setting up an encrypted partition and then mapping it via LVM. Your milage may wary, but the process should be rather straigthforward with some google’ing and messing around.

Slap Google SSO on that and you’re good. Honestly that’s worse than regular registration.

And that is the different premise for the social network.

You do have the equivalent choice here.

If you want Facebook, go to Facebook. It’s not worse or better it’s different.

Well Facebook is worse, but the reasons are corporate not design issues (it’s more complicated than that, but that’s beyond the point).

How is this conflicting? You are a private person same as I, I don’t know who you are, you don’t know who I am.

How is selective hiding of post and comments privacy?

If you don’t want it to be seen – don’t post it.

I’ve never been on Twitter. Besides Reddit I really disliked all other main platforms. So answering your question: I don’t care, it’s a different platform for different style of social media interactions.

the Internet is forever

My position has nothing to do with this sentiment. Internet forgets, and often.

I like federated nature of Lemmy, I like that there is no “private” accounts. This is a feature not a bug.

I’m not trying to argue against privacy, but what you are describing isn’t a privacy issue or an issue at all. It’s a design element. And it’s this design is why I like it here.

As someone here has said, at some point the responsibility has to fall on the user. You don’t need to share anything. As long as the nature of the platform is clear (and it’s a separate discussion) the is no issue to be fixed.

If to you that is seems as an issue, well then maybe you are at the wrong place. And if the platform changes in the direction I don’t agree, I will leave.

In this context, it’s an open public digital space. Noone is obligated share anything.

The part that is discussed as a privacy issue is a design element. It is by design post are visible to everyone, it is by design that comments are visible to everyone.

How is it a privacy issue when the user desides what to post for everyone to see?

If you are looking for a different design ideology then maybe you need a different social media platform.
