>The best candidates I've fielded have been Ukrainian, Russian and Chinese. These are countries well known for their tech sectors.

Out of curiosity, what tech sector does Ukraine have? I don't remember ever hearing of any large successful Ukrainian SW compony or unicorn.

The American Sunlight Project which coined the term "AI grooming" and is the reference for this article should be familiar to many:

> The American Sunlight Project is a left-of-center organization that seeks to counter what it considers “disinformation” online.

> Founded in 2024 by former Biden administration “disinformation czar” Nina Jankowicz, the organization supports President Joe Biden’s claim that modern people live in the age of disinformation, advances the idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit then-Republican candidate Donald Trump, and conducts open-source investigations to undermine those who challenge disinformation researchers.

Question to KOReader users: can you somehow keep the Bookerly font? It's one of the main reasons I like Kindle.

slezyr · a year ago

Download the font[1] and put it in the '/koreader/fonts' directory[2].

What are some "killer" applications that would tempt the casual Kindle user to jailbreak the device?

I can see someone has ported syncthing [1], which could be convenient for syncing the contents of the device. But probably still too much work compared to using e.g. Calibre and a USB cable a few times per year.

The smallest margin on Kindle Scribe is too large. Changing text justification is not possible. Books cannot be uploaded directly with a USB cable without additional software (calibre). Gesture configuration (tap, two-finger tap, etc). Koreader can do everything you want and is significantly better than the stock reader. Unlike other vendors, kindle requires root to install it.

Jamming is also a type of signal. How hard is it to find exactly where it is located?

Is it possible to create a seeking missile that instead of, say, heat follows signal strength? Even when it's mostly noise?

Being Russian doesn't make you suspicious of anything.

There are lots of young Russian people coming to Latin America recently, presumably (if I had to guess) to escape the war. Source: seen this with my own eyes.

It is strange to mention that he is in Chile and not mention that he is a Russian citizen, and the apps come from a Russian company that was recently re-registered(??? or not) somewhere else.

It could be sanctions, and it is not related to reviews at all.

It is even a Russian company. It was registered a bit before the war started and liquidated not so long ago.

In unrelated news, "As investigators piece together clues, Russia has quietly taken steps to begin expensive repairs on the giant gas pipeline, complicating theories about who was behind September’s sabotage." [1]

A farce of historical proportions.
