Is there a way to change the names of the highlight colors?

Im on kindle, so all of the colors are just 8 different shades of gray, instead of it saying red, yellow, green… is there a plugin/setting that I can change the names to something else for organization?

Is there a highlights organizer by color/icon on Koreader?

One of the things I’ve absolutely hated on kindles is the lack of different highlight categories. it’s irritating when I highlight things and I have to scroll through a mess of every other random highlight I made to get to some specific ones like funny lines a character said or sad ones. So that being said is there a highlight organizer function on koreader (or a plugin), that lets you highlight things into different categories? I already found a slew of interesting features that make me want to jailbreak my kindle but this would just complete my life 🥹.

+ I have a kindle paperwhite so no color for me 💔

No update folder/update.bin file on my kindle, should I be scared for an update?

So I was filling up my kindle with dummy files in anticipation for a new jailbreak for my kindle in case the devil says fuck you and automatically turns off my airplane mode or something. I hear a lot about deleting an update file/folder when you want to prevent updates completely but I looked everywhere, and I turned on show hidden folders but I cannot for the life of me find it?

My kindle has been on airplane mode since 5.19.2 came out and it shows that I have the latest firmware even though I don’t. Out of anxiety I completely filled up the storage so none is left and turned on the WiFi to forget my WiFi password so it doesn’t connect, it didn’t update then of course but am I missing something? Do I just not have updates files or 😭?

My mother keeps ridiculing me because I don’t know my native language even though she’s the reason I don’t know it and it’s so irritating

I’m originally Tanzanian but I live in America so naturally I speak English. Swahili was my first language because I lived in Tanzania as a baby and moved to America when I was \~4-5 years old. Obviously at first I barely spoke English but I quickly learned and was bilingual for some time, but my mother stopped talking in Swahili to me so of course I forgot the language. So now my mother has her permanent residency, so we started to go to Tanzania for a month every summer and that’s when she suddenly starts bitching about me not knowing Swahili.

At first it didn’t bother me but she just acts so annoyingly condescending, speaks to me in Swahili like I’m a baby even though I can literally understand her but I can’t reply in Swahili. She loves to do it in front of all my family members, who all speak English mind you, so it’s not even a problem. She always forces me to say stuff in Swahili and just laughs in my face so it’s not that motivating to learn when if I try to say something everyone just laughs at me. Like one night I was up looking for something, and I was about to walk into the living room when 2 of my aunts, my uncle and my mom were talking in there and they were just making fun of me, my American accent when I tried to speak it/was forced to, and were mocking me. What pissed me off the most is that my mother was partaking WHEN ITS HER FAULT I DONT KNOW.

And on top of that she literally teaches me the wrong thing or doesn’t correct me when I speak it. Like when someone’s saying hi to you they say mumbo, and when you’re younger you say safi but when you’re older/your age mates are saying it to you, you say poah, BUT OF COURSE SHE NEVER TOLD ME, so I learned (an awkward amount of safis later) and when I said poah one time she was like “oh who taught you that.”, Literally everyone but you.

And it irritates me that she could of put me in ESL (English as a second language) when I was younger and I could’ve stayed bilingual, and I wouldn’t have had to even do it for long because I knew how to speak English, but she told me no “it’s a bad class and that I don’t want to be in it” when I asked about it.

This whole thing just frustrates me

Tldr; mom makes fun of me because I don’t know how to speak Swahili, laughs at me when I do speak it, talks trash about me not knowing to her siblings/my aunts and uncles, and refused to put me in ESL when I was younger.
