I'm A Different Bird

I wouldn’t call this a “smart workaround”. I mean, I can hardly blame the opportunistic fucks for doing it this way, and certainly the original sin in Apple’s licensing/certification bullshit, but it’s just an amazingly stupid way of doing this all around, brought about by both Apple’s and the earbud manufacturers’ greed.

I mean, both are problems.

You don’t even need root, or at least you didn’t when I had mine. You just need to turn on developer mode, and then the Fire Toolkit app can do the rest.

Hey, some bots are cool. There are even whole instances devoted to bots, like botsin.space.

Spambots can go to hell though, along with their creators.

Honestly, just pick up any USB barcode scanner, open a spreadsheet up in Excel or Google Sheets, and go to town. It will go pretty quickly.

Bookshop.org is an attempt to provide an alternative to Amazon as a bookseller by using a network of independent book stores. It’s not decentralized technologically or anything like that; it’s just a website that bookshops can affiliate with. But it does represent a model to build an alternative that other industries can learn from.

I was an Infinity user on Reddit before the APIcalypse. Trying this out now, and it looks great. Thanks!

One thing I’ve noticed is that it throws an error when trying to load the sidebar for a Kbin magazine. I’m not sure if you have full Kbin support on your road map, but that particular issue might be worth looking at for inter-operability’s sake even before implementing Kbin completely.
