You can buy and use a Huawei phone, but it will not have access to Google services (unless you root it? Idk). Other Chinese phone manufacturers are fine though lol

This just makes me sad, 100 years ago, they'd all be communists, but their brains have been fried by lead (Reagan), the pathology of the American Constitution held as a religion, and the most reactionary media in history.

brace-dark-cowboy convincing people there was ebola at burning man was the bit of the year.

Yeah, that's the good stuff

I do like that function. I can't highlight in the pop-up on my kindle, which is annoying. Only works with ebooks tho, and finding or citing things in ebboks is annoying as the page numbers get all weird. Location 4657????

Wait, it uses endnotes not footnotes? God damn, Foster Wallace was a sadist.

I've read some of his essays, he was a good writer. I may read infinite jest one day, my partner enjoyed it.

visible-disgust

Especially if it's a pdf

Yeah I have the same experience. It's awful and slows me down so much, and I have to have two windows open with the same PDF if I don't have the book. I can't not know what the fucking note says. It's the worst in books where they decide that each chapter needs to restart the sequence. Then you have to find the chapter, and then search for the number. And at that point, I've forgotten the number or what the sentence with the note even said.

Those are endnotes though, footnotes are at the bottom of the page which is easy to find, read, and then go back to reading.
