  • I used to subscribe to Linux format! I got the back issues on exactly/Exact Editions too, so for a while I could also view every issue on my android tablet. Those were the days.

    I don’t even know if Exactly is still around anymore.

    Edit - nope, I was thinking of New Humanist magazine, oops. But I did used to get Linux Format through the door. I remember they used to have rackspace ads on the plastic weather cover









  • Similar, perhaps. I enjoyed visiting Costco in England and devouring jacket (baked) potatoes with Heinz baked beans (I’m aware this is Lemmy…), Shepherd’s Pie and a hot cup of Yorkshire Tea - so the menu is localised too.

    I don’t remember if they also had the typical American fare when I was there, because I was more interested in the British cuisine I had missed so much. They may have had the froyo and hotdogs. Im certain there must have been pizza, surely.





  • Mvp comment there. I checked mine and I am in the US, on a phone I originally bought on credit. I do not have that app installed. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

    Definitely worth checking out your app list to make sure. I wonder if it accidentally came downstream from AOSP into the alt ROMs, and that’s why it’s not in my stock, proprietary, US market, flagship Google pixel device.

    The least annoying reader on Android I’ve found is moon reader pro. It feels a lot worse to me than maple reader on iOS though.

    Try Librera from F-Droid. I only wanted a pdf reader, and got that and an epub reader/ebook manager too. Apparently it’s also good for music manuscript too but I haven’t used it for that.



  • Nemo on Windows can read extfs partitions better than NTFS plays with Linux. It’s more of a problem with proprietary file systems, not the open source file manager trying it’s best to reverse engineer the protocol.

    When I dual booted, I would just share the extfs partition because it worked the best on both systems, once the extfs driver for Windows was installed.
