@indigo I don't let anything get near my Calibre library (which I keep backed up in the cloud). The Kindle stays in airplane mode, and I transfer everything via USB.

@matigo That's OK. I couldn't think of a better way to say "Linux of any variety, Ubuntu or otherwise, will never be ready for use as a desktop OS by non-technical users, assuming that a desktop OS is even still a thing ten millennia after the heat death of the universe, which is the approximate timeframe during which it will even be remotely likely."

@matigo "ready for general western audiences"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry. I'll see myself out. :)

@indigo I still have the App.net version of Yawp installed on my phone. Can't bring myself to delete it. Looks rather nice sitting there next to the Pnut/10C version, I must say. :-)
@kdfrawg I'm getting through the day, courtesy of coffee, Claritin-D, chicken ramen, and Halls cough drops. Just have to make it a few more hours…
@kdfrawg The nice thing about .odt files is that in a worst-case scenario, you can unzip them like a zip file and extract the raw text. You lose the formatting, but at least the data is there and in a readable format.

@kdfrawg Documents that are really important I save in three formats: .docx, .odt, and .txt. Sometimes .pdf as well. I figure at least one of them should be readable twenty years from now. At least I hope so.
