Pocketbook is what you want.

For some reason not popular state-side, but it's absolutely the bees-knees.

Drag and drop install of Koreader. Built in RSS reader. Performant PDF reader (if you want to not use Koreader) Linux, so you can write your own stuff if you want.

I own the Era model, and it's been amazing.

I know this is considered by some to be a religious text. However, I have read some bits of it and know that there are gems there. Still, could I ask you to expand on why you think so?

As an Asian who definitely has no family cookbooks to fall back on, It definitely is a project to get things written. It's a tragedy that knowledge passed down for generations get lost because inbetween generations placed no value in cooking.

>Your desire to handle that all in-house by organic, corn-fed, English-as-their-first-language meat-bags is lovely but you'd be bankrupt in a week.

This sentiment is, in essence, the problem. It's perfectly logical for this trend of distancing customers from their , as you put it, "all in-house by organic, corn-fed, English-as-their-first-language-meat-bags" when you start with the core concept that the _only_ purpose of a company is to earn capital.

I'm clearly not in the demographic for this. However, I'm immediately dubious about any "maintenance scripts claims". That sounds very opaque. Does your app have any rollback / contingencies in place in case your maintenance scripts break something?

• Automatic replacement of apps installed without Homebrew

Does that mean your app would look in the homebrew repo to find similar apps and links it?

My pet theory is that they were a form of marketing for the folks who grew up with the wild-west-internet. The internet now is more corporate and "serious". You have an entire generation of workers who only ever knew the internet in its walled off / corporate form. And then you have folks want to "just get work done". So you'll continue to see fewer of these harmless chicanery.

I think my reason for commenting was because the way you comment makes it seem like the product is out to try / "check out my product!" but the product doesn't even exist.

It feels dishonest? Like a bait and switch.

That being said, good luck.

Not a dig at you, but I see you plugging this on everything even remotely similar to your app. With the caveat that your product is not even out? Is the intention just to build hype?

Seems a bit disingenuous is all.

I mean, isn't the only way to go about that to be completely vanilla or do what the masses do, then? Because if you start blocking all these cookies, canvas, javascript, etc- won't your browser's fingerprint be even more unique since you'd be the only one who's traffic data would be incomplete?
