KDE's "This Week In Plasma" Will Become Less Frequent Without New Volunteers - lemy.lol

>The This Week In Plasma series written by KDE developer Nate Graham has been a great way to keep-up with all of the interesting KDE Plasma desktop developments over the past eight years. This Week In Plasma is regularly featured on Phoronix and always provides an interesting weekend look at the very newest innovations to land in Plasma. Unfortunately, This Week In Plasma will become less frequent or even go on hiatus without new volunteer contributors. > >There was no This Week In Plasma edition this week and Nate Graham today put out a blog post explaining the situation. Long story short, due to work and family responsibilities, Nate has less time to invest in This Week In Plasma and thus is looking for new contributors to take over.

E-readers: Kobo vs Boox? - Divisions by zero

I’ve been getting back into reading and while nothing will beat a physical book, having a device with multiple EPUBS seems like a good way to save space and money. After a bit of searching, I’m down to two options: Kobo (specifically the Libra Colour) and Boox (specifically the Go Color 7). I’ve discarded tablets because they’re just a larger phone and thus blue light-induced eye strain. I’ve also discarded the Kindle because of Amazon’s business practices. I known that Kindles can jailbroken (which I wouldn’t mind doing) and I could buy one second-hand on eBay but I prefer to give my money towards a better competitor. Which one do you think is better? Have you used their previous e-readers? How do they compare? Thanks in advance!

This is territory I thought I would never have to think about but something stinks lately to say the least.

Libraries matter. Access matters.

After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost

“We survived, but it wiped out the library,” Internet Archive’s founder says.
