open about:config change middlemouse.contentLoadURL from false to true.

In the USA shoplifting is up because most states no longer prosecute. Which is also the reason a lot of retailers have or are in the process of closing stores in big cities. Had a friend that worked at Riteaid, once a week several women would come in with trash bags and empty the makeup section. Even with them on video nothing came on it.

Simple, I read. And with the internet I never have to worry about buying books.

Been using Debian Since Potato. Never had a real reason to use any other distro.

uh z-lib still works. I download 10 books most days. Never going to be able to read them all. Books 18426 items (16699 files, 1726 folders)

that is the same bs rpios says with every release. most likely they just don't want the forum with a bunch of people having ods issues.

I installed rpios on my pi400 three yrs ago then changed the Debian repos to Sid and updated. Been doing apt upgrade ever since with no problems.

No problems here using /etc/systemd/resolved.conf for NextDNS settings. I also set the dns settings for NextDNS in Firefox.

I tend to use walk or midnight commander. zoxide is nice as well. It also helps to have bash aliases. https://github.com/antonmedv/walk

Not an industry, but if EBT/food stamps payments stopped there would definitely be riots. Not that aren't already.

I use it on my pi400 running rpios Bookworm. Easier to install things like Okular and other apps without installing all of the overhead of KDE/Gnome. Counting the necessary kde/gnome libs I currently have 33 flatpaks installed.

Just do a search, there are many sites that cover a lot of topics that also have downloadable books.

I have 4 .deb packages that I have downloaded from github. Other than those I try to use apt first if there isn't a package I search for a flatpak. The only reason I have snap installed is to play with Firefox Beta. Packages: 2839 (dpkg), 45 (flatpak), 7 (snap)

Okular it can read pretty much any format. MoonReader+ on my android devices.

Runs great on my raspberry pi 400. With rpios upgraded to Debian Sid.

No one I know uses Matrix or xmpp. IRC is simple.

stays on 73F year round , AC and heat. Average bill runs around $80.

Debian had the update this a.m.

I don't have a ton of storage. My Raspberry pi400 which is my desktop has a 1TB and a 500GB SSD attached. I keep the Books folder synced with Google Drive along with my phone and Kindle Fire. My Book dir is: 58GB and has 18748 items (16970 files, 1777 folders). Gotta love zlib and Anna's.

Yes, without a doubt. Been an Ordained Minister since 1987.

raspberry pi os + Debian Sid. Been using the same install with daily updates for 3 yrs.

Does it have a SD card slot, and if so can it take a 256GB card? 26k epubs and pdfs. Who pays for books?
