Syncthing-fork on f-droid.

I just use syncthing to copy music to my phone sd card.

It can’t be worse than tex!

Yeugh. This makes me feel sick.

I bet you’ve already read some Iain M Banks? If not, that’s an obvious choice.

I’m not sure if I read a lot of hard sci fi, but I’ve read some maybe semi-hard good stuff over the years.

Tried Gregg Bear’s Eon series?

Juice by Tim Winton was good.

I loved Gateway by Pohl, but don’t bother with the sequels.

Roadside Picnic by the Russian brothers? Super weird and intriguing.

J. G. Ballard? Alfred Bester? China Meiville?

This is all pretty mainstream stuff, I bet you’ve read it all.

About half way through Revelation Space by Reynolds.

Enjoying it so far.

I see. Thanks.

Has anyone tried any of the wacky e-ink readers on aliexpress?

I doubt they’d connect to the amazon ecosystem, but might be ok offline devices.

My partner has a newer one and it can only work offline. I can’t get it to even connect to WiFi any more.

What are we looking at? The gutter?

Fantastic. Sounds good!

And thanks whoever randomly downvoted, lol.

Does it handle outline cover art (e.g. cover.jpg) correctly?

Beets didn’t, which is why I’m still manually filing my music.

For the programmers: operator precedence.

This ^

I don’t need or want this, but I’m curious as to whether they will make prescription lenses for it.

The shape of the lense is unconventional.

Yes, but there is a line at which point the art can no longer be seen.

For example, I can’t listen to the lost prophets any more.

Idiocracy.

Loved the idea. Film itself… meh

Does picoreplayer work OK on the first gen boards?

People used to do this in the UK with their ZX spectrums.

They look awful.
