Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Yeah I posted my question a few hours before that was posted, very cool!

Sorry man, english is not my first language so sometimes I make mistakes.

But I searched online and it seems that it's not totally wrong to use "an" in front of historical, especially in informal writing.

Wow I'm already using Calibre but didn't know about that feature! Awesome, will look into it, thanks!

Yeah I thought about the print to pdf feature, hopefully though there are better alternatives. Thanks for the suggestion I will check the extension!

Best RSS Reader for Linux? Bonus if it has PDF/epub export (lemmy.ml)
 

Right now I use Read You on my phone to get RSS feeds and I read articles on my browser but I want to cut the time I stare at my phone throughout the day so I came up with this system:

Once a week I will look at all the feeds I follow on my PC RSS reader, select the ones I want to read during the next week and save them / export them (possibly in PDF or ePUB?) so that I can put them on my old Kindle (that has no internet access) and read them only using the kindle during the week.

This will drastically reduce the time I use my phone to first scroll and select articles and then to actually read them. Looking at a screen all day for work and also looking at a screen (phone) in my free time is not good for me and I want to change that.

If no RSS reader has that option, does anyone know of another program or firefox extension that would let me "export" web pages as pdfs or epubs?

Most people want to be special or unique but what are things in which no one wants to be special or unique? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

It's full of french memes, maybe your instance is blocking that instance?

Kindle's screen is partially frozen with the screensaver, the rest of the screen works normally. Already reset it and factory reset it, does anyone know if I can save it somehow? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] linucs@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah I've already jailbroken this one. I'll probably replace the screen as someone else suggested, there's a very nice ifixit tutorial

First of all, I know this is not the kind of questions that usually are done in asklemmy but I don't know where to ask, sorry folks.

It's a 5th generation kindle and I really loved reading on it. :(

Bonus question if the kindle is doomed: best e-ink reader on the cheaper side? I don't want anything super powerful or fancy, I just want to load my collection with calibre and read on it. - bonus points if it's a libre and or open source friendly.

Are there other human traits like light skin which people developed to adapt to the "new" environment they settled in? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm referring to the human race evolving in the African continent and then migrating to the rest of the world.

Evolving in Europe made people light skinned to account for the reduction in sunlight exposure, are there any other traits which other ethnicities developed to adapt to their new environment? Or are the diifferent traits in different ethnicities just stuff that developed by chance and got somehow reinforced because of the isolation between populations?

This question came to my mind first thinking about "Asian eyes", do they serve any "purpose"?

Regarding sleep quality, why did humans evolve to require full darkness? (lemmy.ml)
 

I know evolution is governed by chance and it is random but does it make sense to "ruin" sleep if there's light? I mean normally, outside, you never have pure darkness, there are the moon and stars even at night. In certain zones of the Earth we also have long periods of no sunshine and long periods of only sunshine.

I don't know if my question is clear enough but I hope so.

Bonus question: are animals subject to the same contribution of light or lack of it to the quality of sleep?
