Install lockdown on iOS. It’ll block ads anywhere i assume. It’s such an hostile approach, like medium, I will never install their app or open an account.
Mind you the USA has a sitting president that didn’t win the election by way of a popular vote. More so it’s believed he cheated, though we know that everything that led to the elections was wrong from an ethical point of view. It’s very hard to get rid of these people once they take control of a country’s institutes and dismantle them one by one.
None of the US presidents every won the election "by way of popular vote", because popular vote is not the way US presidential election is won. It's like complaining that a team who made the most goals won the soccer match instead of the team that run the fastest and has the prettiest shirts, how unfair that is especially that scoring the goal is completely pointless anyway.
Those are the rules. Any rules have people that think they could win if only the rules were different - but they aren't, so every US president is elected according to the rules for US presidential elections, not some other imaginary rules. Time to stop whining about it. If you want to change the rules - there's constitutional amendment procedure, go after it, good luck. Until you're done and the rules are changed, don't whine about somebody winning by the rules that are in play at the time.
I'm the author of that app, it was made for a much earlier version of Owncloud and it would take more work to get it up to date with the current state of the platform than it would to start anew. It also was not made to support many of OPDS' more 'advanced' features like sharding and search. I've started to look into making a new version, possibly integrated with my other Own/Nectcloud app 'Reader', look for more info on that front in a few weeks.
Yeah, Marvin’s great. Pretty much the best ebook reader out there.
Have you checked out BicBucStriim? It’s a PHP based OPDS server that uses a Calibre library as its database. I’ve set it up on a Synology drive as that was most convenient, but it’ll run pretty much anywhere.
In case you’re not familiar with this guy, his writing isn’t much better. Consider this for example:
In 2016, Thiel apologized for two statements he made in the book: 1) "The purpose of the rape crisis movement seems as much about vilifying men as about raising 'awareness'" and 2) "But since a multicultural rape charge may indicate nothing more than belated regret, a woman might 'realize' that she had been 'raped' the next day or even many days later." He stated: "More than two decades ago, I co-wrote a book with several insensitive, crudely argued statements. As I've said before, I wish I'd never written those things. I'm sorry for it. Rape in all forms is a crime. I regret writing passages that have been taken to suggest otherwise."
Is it more than just an ePub reader? You really feel it’s justified to spin-up an electorn app (!!!) to read an ePub? I use Emacs’ nov.el or Foliate which are not only low on resources but also instantaneous to open files.
I don't like it either, but the only way it is technically feasible to support the full potential styling/markup of an EPUB is to use a browser engine, and therefore electron is a logical choice. Can your specialized EPUB reader support MathML? Or vertical-ttb text?
Just this. Epub depends on the same tech stack as the web. So, either you use an engine that supports that in full, or you are going to be missing pieces of the standard. Which means that most other reading software opts for missing pieces of the standard.
An .epub is literally a zip of xhtml, css, and images.
If you want to build a good ereader, you either use a web browser or you reimplement one. And you have to support things like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hyphens, rtl, mathml, and—well—the rest of the nontrivial stack.
I have a bad news for you, recently I was interested in how could I write a good QML/Kirigami based ebook reader and looked at all the existing Linux epub reader and each one was using a webview for the epub rendering. But they usually try to integrate better with the rest of the app and your DE so you just don't see it.
EDIT: the only epub reader I know that doesn't use a webview is Okular and the rendering using QTextDocument basic html support is horrible.
It's irrelevant to me whether or not it's an electron app. I'm not running a Pentium 486 system. I've got more RAM than I know what to do with...I'll run a half-dozen instances of Thorium if I wanted to...no worries.
It’s not just resources. It’s usability. Electron apps look and feel out of place to me. I would personally never use one let alone for reading an ePub. I get the point about perfect rendering, but that’s a specific problem I’m personally not worried about.
These attempt at spinning the discussion is lame. Russia collusion is not a conspiracy, nor the fact that trump is a neonazi sympathizer. Like father like son.
