@micke Sounds good! Thank you!

(My old jailbroken Kindle with Koreader reboots occasionally as well — not its greatest feature. :))

@micke For what it's worth, I'd be really interested in hearing how you've been finding the Kobo after a few days/weeks of use!

I'm still stuck on an old Kindle, but I've been slowly looking for a replacement — FOSS friendly, Calibre & co. all apply. :)

"Helgoland" by Carl Rovelli is a beautiful book, and this lovely dedication led me to find out that Ted Newman sadly passed away earlier this year.

This dedication also provides you with a moral duty to punch anyone claiming to understand quantum mechanics straight in the face.

There's a train stop in the middle of nowhere between Zagreb and Koprivnica(*) with a "FREE BEER FOR PUNX" graffiti right next to its entrance and it never fails to make me smile.

(*) For Croatian train connoisseurs: the place is called Repinec.

@aphyr Very tangential, apologies, but what's that reference management software on the screenshot?

I tried to decipher it from the title bar, but wasn't able to. :) Thanks!

Today, Croatia celebrates Day of Antifascist Struggle, the anniversary of forming of its first Partisan resistance unit in 1941 which paved the way to defeating of Nazis in World War II.

One of the rare holidays honestly worth celebrating. Fight the power.

I always find it interesting how news on shootings in the US end up prominently featured on front pages of Croatian media, but when you actually try to find some further information in US media, it's usually buried somewhere deep like it's business as usual.

I guess that says a lot about 'merica, too. 🤷‍♂️

@algernon Nice, thanks! That's an impressive lineup. :) It's a bit far, but it'd be awesome to see it all live.

@algernon Oh wow! That would be really nice to see live. Where's the concert?

As things are starting to open up, and more and more people are roaming the streets and interacting with each other, it's becoming clear that the pandemic made us forget a really important, hard-learned lesson:

People are fucking annoying.

Never forget.

Went to the local flower exhibition and found this awesome SARS-CoV-2-inspired arrangement. What a time to be alive.
