No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Less distraction, easier on the eyes, single-purpose and immediately jumps into your current book at your current spot.
I carry an XTEINK X3 with me at work so even the elevator ride can get me through a paragraph or two of whatever I’m reading. They go on sale often and both the X3 and X4 are under $100 at full price. You need to sideload your own EPUB files, but that’s never bothered me.

I’ve thought about picking up something like this, but e-ink displays tend to be fairly sensitive to pressure. They can get damaged (or even outright punctured) fairly easily. AFAIK it’s an issue with the way the e-ink displays are physically constructed, so it’s not something that can be engineered away with harder glass or a more durable frame. That’s a large part of why lots of the big companies also sell folding/flipping screen covers for their devices, as the added cushioning and rigidity helps prevent damage. So I tend to be hesitant to attach it to my phone, which tends to get beat up throughout the day.
To be completely honest, the magnets aren’t really strong enough to make me feel safe keeping it on my phone anyway. I just carry it naked with a screen protector, but there is a magnetic folding cover available too. It’s small enough and light enough that it actually probably takes a lot less damage from a fall than a phone that weighs 3x as much.
