I always thought Accept (and Accept-Language) headers are quite neat. Surely I can try article.es.md first, get a 404, try article.en.md, get a 404, try article.es.txt, article.en.html and so on, until I find the thing I'm looking for. But Accept let's me say "I'll take any one of these, preferably in this order". This is especially useful now when agents are reading the web and they don't really need all of our HTML code - just the text.

If you're versioning the whole API though, I agree it's best behind a a /v2/ prefix.

It's interesting — "knowing how to search" used to be a skill. One wouldn't search for "How did Cantor come up with his diagonal proof?", but rather "cantor diagonal proof origin". You would see "normies" searching and wanted to bang your head against the wall seeing them searching like they're talking.

But seems like they won? Why know how to search when you can simply ask your question. You can even tyipe it layke dat and it would still work.

Note sure what you mean by "tools". It does support function calling, so you can hook it to whatever tools you want. I'm using it with Home Assistant to control my smart home devices.

It sounds like your criticism is about their product, not about their business model.

The business model of having a popular product with great documentation, which leads free users to additional paid services, seems like a very valid business model.

Even the criticism you have for their product is along the lines of "the product only worked because they identified a problem in the market; If someone else identified it, this product wouldn't even be needed!". Which is, well, true, but also true for almost any other successful product.

If you're looking to tinker with a Kobo Clara HD, you can install PostmarketOS on it ;) I created https://github.com/bjesus/air for this device.

It is, though to be honest it bothers me less than I thought it will. The battery lasts so long that I rarely charge it.

Same experience with the X4 Pro. Can wholeheartedly recommend. It feels like reading became much more accessible to me all of a sudden.

It seems to be the "official" one according to Wikipedia though?

Did TPB ever change a domain? I've been using the .org domain listed on Wikipedia for as long as I can remember.

In the video he explains that the goal of the hybrid system is mainly to be used when for some unexpected reason the airplane cannot land at its original destination.

I got the Xteink X4 Pro a few days ago. I was so convinced everything these days has a USB-C port, I didn't even check. Honestly it's the only downside of the device, I love everything else about it. Sure, it's small, but it's almost entirely an advantage for me. I don't even think about "should I take it with me?" - I just do, which means I read much more. The light is great for reading in bed. And CrossPoint is super solid (flashing took a minute).

Yes - tiling window managers are really nice on a computer, but they're absolutely the best for small e-ink devices.

FWIW, some Kobos can run PostmarketOS. I built this UI for my Clara - https://www.github.com/bjesus/air . It runs Firefox, Syncthing, KOReader, and basically anything else you can run on Linux.

I haven't lived in Israel for more than 10 years, it is not my society, and yet I am ashamed of the current goverment and never ever have I supported them online. I have done more in my lifetime to oppose these people than you will do even in 10,000 years, in campaigning, in arrests, in protests and in court. I wish your posts made me laugh too, but they actually fill me with sadness.
