Yeah I guess that's fair, but I think that the fact that the light isn't directly shining in your eyes but is reflected, makes quite a difference. Still, use whatever mode feels most comfortable to you! Just sharing knowledge.

FYI ereaders don't emit light even with the light on. They use lights hidden on the sides under the bezels, and that light gets distributed above the screen using a kind of gel layer. The screen then reflects that light back.

You had me until "veganism is a religion"

What the fuck dude, you're comparing preachy vegans with actual police brutality. Kindly get the fuck out and think about what you said thank you

Yeah so apparently it's a real picture taken quite some time ago that has been upscaled. It looks absolutely horrendous though and 100% fake, especially the parts you highlighted. I guess I'm not terminally online enough to recognize a repost or something, but weirdly enough I'm OK with that.

Yep that's why I don't understand all those people with Kindles and huge Amazon book collections. They can literally take it all away on a whim. If I want to own a book I'll purchase a physical copy, but ebooks? High seas for me. I feel like a 'free' ePub in my Dropbox is safer than whatever proprietary format in my Amazon account.

Edit - getting mostly replies defending ebooks and stating disadvantages of physical books (also, yeah I know books "aren't for showing of" lol, like that's the only reason for owning a book).

Just want to add I have both and get their pros and cons. I read tons on my ereader too, just not a Kindle because fuck that closed system, it's not for me (for reasons mentioned above).

Are you memeing? I hate Adobe as much as the next guy but Inkscape is absolutely horrid compared to Illustrator or even Affinity.

Lmao are you unironically saying you're doing the right thing eating beef because you're creating incentive to make you stop eating beef?

Yeah that's the thing I'm pointing out dude
