It is still possible if you have an old enough Kindle. I have a 1st gen paperwhite and can just connect it via USB to my PC and pull books off the kindle with Calibre and then remove the DRM.

Though if you’re wanting to remove DRM from Kindle Unlimited books, you’ll have to actually edit the DeDRM plugin code, as by default its set to not let it be run on KU books.

Basically any Fossil / Skagen (they’re the same thing) Hybrid (meaning e-ink) watch will work with Gadgetbridge. I personally have the Fossil Machine Gen 6 Hybrid which works great. Ignore the ‘Alexa’ bit, that does nothing via Gadgetbridge (and in fact you can just flat out remove that ‘app’ in the GB app). Heart Rate and Message/Notification/Call control functions all work fine. Step tracking works, but sleep tracking does not (Fossil doesn’t have it done on the watch, it’s done in their app, so until/unless GB replicates that functionality it won’t work).

I use a Fossil Hybrid watch with gadget bridge. Works really well, though one caveat is that while you can read and dismiss messages on the watch, you can’t reply from it. This isn’t a problem for my use case, but YMMV. The couple weeks of battery life is a great plus, though. (E-ink screen)

Wait why the hell is lemmy.world federated with Meta anyways? That seems… stupid?

The discussion thread for Fedora specifically stated that the change was requested by Red Hat, as well.

Shit like this is why I use a DeGoogled phone. Get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS or CalyxOS and use open source apps wherever you can, and sandbox any Google Play apps you have to use (banking, etc).

Especially with Red Hat’s current shenanigans that just recently happened. I can’t see how anyone thought this was a good idea OR good timing for it.

Try Organic Maps on F-Droid. It seems to have no anti-features and is pretty solid in general.

Well, I originally used Jerboa as it does as well, but with the current version problems I had to do something else until it’s fixed.

Yeah, I have two Lemmy accounts (one on Lemmy.ml and one on Lemmy.world, since Lemmy.ml won’t let me add nsfw instances to my subscriptions list for whatever reason) and I’ve had to start using Thunder as my app for Lemmy.world and Jerboa for Lemmy.ml til this whole mess gets sorted out.

F-Droid does their own builds of apps, they don’t use APKs released by devs. So updates from them are down to however long they take to get it done. If you want faster updates, you can add the Izzy on Droid Repository to your F-Droid client, as they update from the releases on GitHub and Jerboa is available there as well, and updates more quickly.

Even so, breaking Jerboa app access to every lemmy instance that isn’t lemmy.ml is a bit of a big oops. Especially during a period of tons of new users who may not understand what the problem is. Hopefully steps can be taken in the future so that it doesn’t happen again.
