The “Revolutions” podcast (season 10) by Mike Duncan goes into great detail about the Russian revolution.

Be for warned, the Russian revolution season is over 100 episodes (more than 50 hours). Each of the seasons start out slow, introducing the characters, setting, and background, but once it gets going it gets so good.

My recollections of the Russian revolution season was the Bolsheviks were pretty worthless and considered a joke. They kind of just succeeded because everyone else was so exhausted and apathetic by the time they tried to grab power. Also, Stalin was a Georgian bank robber.

All the seasons are good, but the first two (English and American) aren’t as good. Mike was still trying to figure out how in-depth he wanted to be for the podcast and so those seasons are rather shallow. I particularly like the Mexican revolution (Zapata!).

I think you linked the wrong picture.

Sorry you ran into those issues and the rude person.

I think new accounts have some restrictions for the first 3(?) days. My understanding is that this was implemented to try to counter an annoying person who keeps making accounts doing shitty things and then deleting that account and making a new one.

I’m pretty sure there’s a way to add multiple images to a post, but I’ve never done it.

For the new content, you may want to try switching your view to “New” or if it’s your first time looking at piefed during the day “Top (x)” [x being how long since you last opened at Piefed]. Those methods usually bring me a bunch of new content.

Hope your experience gets better :)

Edit: It didn’t occur to me earlier, but are you on “Subscribed” feed or “All” feed? If you aren’t on all, I would suggest switching to that until you have enough subscribed communities.

Forever Skies is kind of like that.

I thought it was just “okay”, but if you have interest in the setting, it might be worth checking out.

Haha. All good. Thanks for clarifying :)

Apologies, I’m confused. Is “JoJo” an autocorrect error, a type of Kobo e-reader, or a different reader?

Caveat: I haven’t purchase or used another e-reader since I bought my first one (Kobo) ~15 years ago.

My Kobo still works and the battery still lasts like a week or longer before needing a recharge.

I don’t think I’ve run into a book file it can’t read, but I mostly stick to epubs and PDFs.

I’m pretty sure it has an online store, if that’s important.

For your requirements, I have no idea if a planner has been implemented in the last decade, but I would suspect Kobos can read Libby library books (not sure what they are though). I believe my ~15 year old Kobo has a sync feature, but I don’t use it. So that’s probably available as well. For easy on the eyes, I’m assuming brightness settings, which Kobo had and I used on occasion (they may have adaptive sensing now).

I recall Kobo used to be marked as the “open” platform, so unless something has significantly changed, Kobo shouldn’t lock you in or charge you a subscription fee.

Best of luck. Hope you are able to find an e-reader that works for you.

Edit: Just found this website with a bunch of Kobos compared. It looks like some have Dropbox sync and “Dark Mode” (I assume for easier on the eyes).

The audit covered every public-facing component of Mullvad’s online presence, including the website, the Tor-only Onion service, the rsync setup, and the internal content management system (CMS). Each of these elements was examined for common attack vectors, misconfigurations, or any signs of hidden data collection.

I believe checking the “internal content management system (CMS)” is what they are using to say there were no logs.

They linked a more detailed report in the article, but I didn’t look at it. It may contain something different than my takeaway from the article.
