It might not be necessary to follow all these links but they might be helpful. I'm pretty sure I just used USB (MTP) to copy files to my wife's paperwhite:

It looks like MTP is compatible with OTG so as long as you have a USB cable that connects your kindle to your phone you could use something like Total Commander or MiXplorer to copy files over

Comment on What programming/technical projects have you been working on? in ~comp
xk3 Completely agree. This is the only reason why I don't use Rust everywhere. If there is a benefit to this, at least people more rarely overestimate their understanding of the code. It's interesting...The biggest shortcoming is the complexity
Completely agree. This is the only reason why I don't use Rust everywhere. If there is a benefit to this, at least people more rarely overestimate their understanding of the code.
It's interesting to look at mature Rust projects like https://github.com/sharkdp/fd to see all the edge cases that should be handled in a simple-but-widely-used tool (including performance optimizations)

After hearing this song a couple hours ago, I took a listen to the rest of hawaiii and it was pretty satisfying. I agree the track Resolutions is pretty weak in retrospect--especially the ending: a fade-out but it is not even the last track and the fade-out doesn't even sound completely intentional. Terrible.
But in isolation... it is a nice short introduction to Said The Whale. It got me listening to the rest of the album.

I find the work done here impressive in its consistency. Looks like he is still writing too with this entry in his weblog dated three days ago.
I hadn't heard many of these series before but looks like they can be watched on the Internet Archive:

Comment on Pixel Buds Pro 2 help - frequent disconnects from phone in ~tech
xk3 huh... that kind of information helps narrow down the problem. Sounds like the problem is likely a phone setting--maybe energy savings/battery saver related. Have you restarted the phone recently?...huh... that kind of information helps narrow down the problem. Sounds like the problem is likely a phone setting--maybe energy savings/battery saver related. Have you restarted the phone recently?
I guess you could try returning it and seeing if the hardware was defective but it really sounds like a software problem.

xk3 you could try toggling it on then. If it is connecting or disconnecting to other devices it should stop making noises at least when it switches. Even if you don't use multiple devices with it,...you could try toggling it on then. If it is connecting or disconnecting to other devices it should stop making noises at least when it switches. Even if you don't use multiple devices with it, turning it on could use a different code path where the "idle" mode has less bugs... it's worth a try anyway

Maybe you could try disabling or enabling multipoint bluetooth? That's the only other thing that I can think of which might help

Comment on US President Donald Trump invokes the Alien Enemies Act for the first time against Venezuelan criminal organization in ~society
xk3 https://ground.news/article/judge-blocks-trump-admin-from-deporting-5-venezuelans-amid-plans-to-invoke-alien-enemies-act2025-03-15: Judge blocks Trump from using Alien Enemies Act to deport five Venezuelan men — A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport five Venezuelans, implementing a temporary restraining order for 14 days. Judge James E. Boasberg noted that the ruling was to preserve the status quo amid concerns about the emergency powers invoked under the act. The Trump administration appealed the restraining order, arguing it would hinder presidential power before the act was officially announced. Litigation over the Alien Enemies Act raises concerns due to its previous use only during wartime, requiring a formal declaration of war.
