Just keep “hollywood” running in another terminal at all times.

Install and run “btop”.

You could scroll down to the screenshots on the GitHub page, but I had a friend recommend btop to me and seeing it for the first time running on my own machine was an experience. Highly recommend.

10 year old bug?

What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽

“I was referring to open book reader…”

The lack of capitalization, and the project name that could just as easily be a descriptor, made me miss it at first too.

"The Open Book is my long-standing attempt to design a comprehensible and accessible e-book reader that you can build yourself (or at least have manufactured affordably). The current edition is something I’m calling the “Abridged” or “Developer Preview” edition. It’s designed to be incredibly simple: there are 7 through-hole and 14 surface mount components, nearly all in a chunky 1206 package that’s easy to hand solder. The tradeoff is that it has no LiPo charging circuit; instead it uses AAA batteries, making it a bit more chunky than previous versions of the book.

The goal with this version is to get hardware in hands so we can start hacking on firmware."

So:

  • This is a hobby / project of love
  • The current focus is on hardware

I’m sure that the eventual plan is to support ePub.

I’m not sure it will ever get there, because it’s not a well resourced project, but I personally don’t like criticizing one person’s efforts, which they are making freely available.

It looks like you would get a perfect solar eclipse on Mars if Pandora were spherical.

If there’s another planet in our solar system where you can almost get an earth-like “perfect” solar eclipse, I find it highly unlikely that there isn’t a single other planet in our entire galaxy where one might also see a “perfect” solar eclipse.

One key problem with forced arbitration clauses is that company chooses and pays the “neutral” arbiter, who is inevitably biased against the consumer.

Find the mutual aid networks in your community and join / support them.

Just generally be in community with those around you.

Join or form local weekly protests for a permanent ceasefire.

Join a union and encourage others to. Help ensure that your union has enough resources to provide support for more vulnerable members when they need to strike.

Run for local office.
