Article is inaccurate. NewsCorp isn’t journalism.
From the article, it seems like it isn’t overriding preferences if you have it set in the app. Looks like it’s an analytics thing in the backend at the moment. Of course, I wouldn’t put it past them to eventually require ID if your settings don’t match their prediction.

Not really, but I have 18 months to migrate all my shit away from there. I’ve already moved a lot of my critical stuff to FOSS software running under win10 and I’m more than passing familiar with Linux. Shouldn’t be a massive deal.
This is also the company that promises to prioritise the vehicle occupants over pedestrians.
The specs are insane, but you can’t use it because the servers it needs to phone home to don’t exist yet.
So here is the jailbreak thread for the paperwhite, and here is the master list for other models.
There used to be Duokan, which was an OS-replacement. I can’t for the life of me find an install image. If you do, let me know. I’d like to try it out.
And in my searching just now I’ve also come across fread-ink (project on hold since 2020), inkbox (mostly for Kobo devices, but some kindle support) and an old hackaday article about HOPE XII which I can’t find any further information on.
Best of luck freeing your Kindle!
I have jailbroken a couple of old e-ink kindles, and as far as I know, custom ROMs just straight don’t exist any more. There have been a couple of attempts, some successful, but the device is so old they’ve pretty much fallen off the internet. The base OS is Linux, around a 2.6 kernel, and I’m fairly sure everything apart from the bootloader is just on relatively unprotected flash memory. Aside from the reader software it’s a pretty standard Linux. To the point where one of mine actually runs an old Debian chroot.
I’m not near my PC now, but I’ll link the jailbreak forums when I can. You’ll need a fair bit of technical knowledge and judicious use of archive.org, the link rot is a very real problem.
I’m in a similar situation with my partner; she does game, but only shitty repetitive predatory mobile puzzle games. I got her Stardew to try and she absolutely hated it. I have, however, had some limited success with puzzle RPGs like Ticket to Earth.
Considering how much of Reddit is already bots, I’m sure this will end fantastically.
It’s plausible. Could have been a low-effort typosquatting site loaded with porn ads.
This is about control. If you’re forced to upload ID, the government instantly has a watch list of people and associated sites. Then there’s the flexibility of the definition of porn. Once the legislation is in, anything regarding sex, sexuality, or gender education gets quietly reclassified. Because you know, to these people being anything but straight is inherently pornographic. Then you have a watch list of potential LGBT+ people and allies to harass.
That’s one of the things that’s not explained, related to the DLC launch. There are a few different versions of the game. The console version is considered legacy and is functionally “disconnected” from the live version. It no longer receives updates outside of the occasional security or stability patch. Only PC is receiving new content. If you can get it for free it’s a good way to test out the general gameplay, but most of the community is on PC these days.
It’s the only MMO I still play regularly after three years. That said, I hesitate to outright recommend it. It’s fairly niche, and kinda still recovering from a disastrous DLC launch a couple years ago. It’s in a pretty good place now but confidence in the playerbase is still a little shaken. Mechanics-wise there’s a lot built up over the years that just aren’t explained at all in-game, so the learning curve is more of a sheer cliff face. OTOH, the community is honestly one of the most supportive I’ve ever experienced; even the griefers will chat with you after blowing you up and explain how to avoid it next time. And having the entire physically modelled milky way to explore is honestly an amazing experience. I’d suggest checking out a few streams to suss out if it’s for you, streamers are generally lovely and happy to chat with and help out new and prospective players.
Elite Dangerous. It’s so freeing to just hurl yourself out into the middle of nowhere and not come back.
Every kitchen I’ve ever worked in has just used dish soap and water, followed by a spritz of alcohol - based sanitiser. The reason professional kitchens look immaculate is because the surfaces are all stainless and designed to be quick and easy to clean.
That was fast.
