install android on your pi

ernestlittlefield

you mean like as a second OS?

andy_s

i mean like as a first OS.

ernestlittlefield

I didn't know you could do that

andy_s

you can install even windows.

ernestlittlefield

oh no, that's a terrible idea

andy_s

yes.

andy_s

linux is like teepee.

andy_s

no windows, no backdoors, apache inside.

ernestlittlefield

mine is 3B+ so it probably wouldn't even run

andy_s

oh no, it would run..

andy_s

..away

ernestlittlefield

I would run out of this world from that

andy_s

error: not enough space to allocate in current world, please insert disc 2

andy_s

(flat earthers joke)

andy_s

well....

ernestlittlefield

okay but the point isn't to make the worst possible setup, it's to have a working, mobile-like ebook reader

andy_s

there are emulators for android that can run windows

andy_s

so why don't you install that on android running on pi? might be better

andy_s

o no, got even better idea πŸ™‚

andy_s

install windows 11, install bluestacks on it, install said emulator in that......

andy_s

too much meta?

andy_s

you said you wanted to build portable kettle, right?

Deleted User

Can LibreOffice read epub?

ernestlittlefield

I can't even use bluestacks on my windows 10 machine to act as an android emulator for flutter development

andy_s

no, it cannot

andy_s

anyways in all seriousness, look at android for pi

andy_s

also what you described sounds like xInput feature

ernestlittlefield

What?

andy_s

dat.

ernestlittlefield

I'm unfamiliar with xInput

ernestlittlefield

Oh you mean the controlling of the pages

andy_s

mhm

andy_s

you can also install hw buttons for pageflips

andy_s

(kindle anyone?)

Deleted User

Ik this isn't pi related but you can get a kindle for like €30

andy_s

dat 2

ernestlittlefield

Yea but do I need to add these things beside an ebook reader? Shouldn't these things be part of the reader?

andy_s

no

andy_s

ebook reader is an app.

andy_s

what i sent is input "enhancement"

andy_s

which part of eu?

ernestlittlefield

The worst part. Can you guess? πŸ™‚

ernestlittlefield

Hungary

andy_s

u still not sacked from eu?

andy_s

πŸ˜„

andy_s

(jk, jk)

ernestlittlefield

I honestly don't know why we aren't threatened with being kicked out yet

ernestlittlefield

*getting kicked out

andy_s

because every time those -censored- up there do something "smart", everyone in eu facepalms so hard it sends them back into 2020

andy_s

because it is πŸͺ„

andy_s

for example, just yesterday i read, that hungary actually does not have to abede to international warrant for putin, because hungary never ratified that international treaty into local laws.

andy_s

ain't that πŸ’© heavily sanctionable? Just admiting that.......

andy_s

must be some brains for shits level of stupidity to freely admit to something like that

ernestlittlefield

yeah

ernestlittlefield

πŸ™‚

andy_s

it was just a prank, bro!

ernestlittlefield

wouldn't be the strangest thing to happen

andy_s

defo not there.

ernestlittlefield

anyway. I appreciate your help guys in figuring out the issues with Calibre, and that it's not really what I'm looking for. And for giving me new ideas what to do

Deleted User

That got very off topic lmao

ernestlittlefield

yep πŸ™‚

andy_s

there is one hungarian "word" that describes hungary that almost everyone knows... nem tudom

ernestlittlefield

it's two words

andy_s

hence quotes

ernestlittlefield

phrase

andy_s

not many people outside hu realise that

ernestlittlefield

but you can say it in one word as a slang like nemtom

ernestlittlefield

it's not a nice pronounciation but people would understand it

andy_s

nickel: you need faster google translate skills

Deleted User

I would recommend installing android (from my experience Android 10 on a pi 3 is quite laggy) and get an epud reader

andy_s

that stroke/gesture "fix" might be easier & better solution tho

andy_s

tis up2u to test that

Deleted User

Also my phone is on Android 13 when it's only "officially" supposed to go to 11 so it's slow

andy_s

and i need to shut my piehole somehow, yawning like i want to eat whole pig

andy_s

lineageOS ftw

ernestlittlefield

only eat some of a whole pig, that's wholesome

andy_s

that reminded me...

andy_s

what gets bigger if you eat it?

ernestlittlefield

I do

andy_s

(kinda ... nasty one)

ernestlittlefield

what?

andy_s

asshole.

ernestlittlefield

yeah I am, but what's the answer? πŸ™‚

ernestlittlefield

alright guys, I'm off. thanks for the help again, see you around
