I think you’re thinking of American mahjong. Which I can’t understand for the life of me how it’s gotten so popular. The ratio of luck to skill is completely upside down

Remember when it was just common sense that letting people gamble on things would undermine the integrity of those things?

The critics of prediction markets needs to decide if they are against the markets because they are gambling, or because they aren't gambling.

No, they don't. It's fine to be against them in both ways, considering that the platforms themselves can't decide if they're gambling or not.

I discovered KTool here when you launched and I love it! I hope you’re doing well

Thank you for your early support

It’s infuriating that Amazon abandoned the Oasis form factor. I love having a safe area on the side to, ya know, hold the damn thing. And physical buttons are so much more reliable for page turns. Every once in a while, tapping the screen to turn the page does something unexpected, and suddenly I’m futzing with my kindle instead of being immersed in my book.

I was a happy Oasis user until last year when I used a new Kindle and saw how much faster they’ve gotten. That started a very frustrating search for a kindle replacement. I ordered and returned many units before settling on the Kobo Libra Color. I didn’t want color, but I don’t notice the lower resolution now unless I’m using it side-by-side with a B&W screen. I do miss whisper sync, which I’d occasionally use to read a few pages on my phone. The Instapaper integration is awesome— I used to pay for KTool to accomplish something similar.

So no Linux?
