Finally have time to read @pluralistic’s “Enshittification”. Really late to the party but love Cory’s work so I’m thrilled. And it’s a lovely spring evening here in Montana.
Irony of using a kindle — partly solved by it being jailbroken and buying the book from @craphound

@jolness @pluralistic @craphound It's so tiny.

@prietschka @pluralistic @craphound it’s an *old* kindle paperwhite! I think it’s a 2018 model. I want one with a bigger screen but it works fine (battery life is still insanely good) and it fits in my back pocket which is nice for the rare occasions I don’t have my backpack with me. I’ve done so much research about e-readers but I don’t want to give amazon money and other options like Kobo have their own downsides.

@jolness I have a Kindle Paperwhite, but I like Kobo better. Whether it fits in your back pocket depends on your pants.

@jredlund @jolness reference the multitude of memes that fit into men's pockets, while women are allowed half an iPhone.

@jredlund I don't think alot of them even fit half an iPhone. Sometimes I envy that purses are a normal thing for women, then I remember that a lot of the time, the pockets aren't even real, just a facade.
