Absolutely fuck you, Amazon. When I bought this device there was no mention of my purchase being time limited at your discretion. It does not require software updates, so the only "support" necessary is that kindle books are available in a format that can be sent to it. This shouldn't be legal.
Dear Customer,

Thank you for being a
longtime Kindle customer.
We're glad our devices have
served you well for as long as
they have. Starting May 20,
2026 - 14 to 18 years after
their initial launches - we are
discontinuing support for
Kindle devices released in
2012 or earlier. Here's what
this means for you:

Our task is in front of us and is clear: We have to show up in numbers this November that are simply too large for them to manipulate or cheat their way through. They know they can't win on the issues or with their draconian policies. Register if you aren't registered. Show up. VOTE.

More progress at Gallows Wharf. Dave and Bob continued their brickwork, and our new professional bricklayer volunteer helped with setting out. They’ve also started backfilling behind the concreted-in sheet piling. How many concrete slabs have they laid? Watch this space! #Lichfield #WeDigCanals

A volunteer in high‑visibility clothing is laying bricks near metal barriers. Construction materials, scaffolding, and equipment line the area.A long, narrow canal channel runs through a residential area, partly filled with muddy water. The channel is lined with new concrete and brickwork, with stacks of bricks, cinder blocks, wooden planks, and bags of aggregate placed along the edge. A blue barrel, a wheelbarrow, and orange safety barriers sit on the grassy bank beside the works. Metal fencing lines the top of the site for safety, with gardens, bushes, and flowers on one side and tall trees on the other.

We've seen how a Trump administration has taken over scientific bodies, so independent research is suppressed if its findings aren't what he wants, and outputs just become govt propaganda. Could the same thing happen here, if a future PM wanted to do the same? Important analysis ⬇️

Border Patrol says he was at the red mark, 65 feet south of the border, when he "made an abrupt starboard turn and struck the port bow of the Coast Guard small-boat," causing him to capsize. He says that's ridiculous, he was in Canadian waters and was going to shore to talk when they hit him.

Farmers in England fear for nature after sustainable farming funding frozen
Government also considering blocking more profitable farmers from a revised future scheme Farmers fear they will no longer be able to afford to restore nature in England and reduce their carbon footprint after government funding for doing this was frozen. The environment secretary, Steve Reed, recently announced that the sustainable farming incentive (SFI), which pays farmers for making space for nature on their land, would be paused and overhauled before June’s spending review. The scope of the scheme – and its budget – are being reassessed. Continue reading...
