Note-taking app. Each note is a markdown file, so you can add formatting.

I usually play my Switch in the bath :⁠-⁠)

Same here, except I haven’t touched my tablet in years.

Thanks for asking this, that question made me go look it up.

I found https://bookshop.org/info/ebooks

I thought you could load bookshop.org eBooks onto a Kindle, but it seems they have their own DRM and you need to use their own app…

Some of their books are DRM free, but not all. I thought they all were, but it turns out I was wrong.

So… maybe even bookshop.org isn’t the best option for Kindles.

I guess there really is only one option left…

To all the people who are saying “I’ll just pirate books,” you are aware you can buy eBooks from places that aren’t Amazon, right?

Have a look at https://bookshop.org/ebooks You can buy books/eBooks and support local bookstores that aren’t Barnes & Nobles or Amazon.

I’d suggest you download/archive your Kindle books and then buy your eBooks from elsewhere. You can still load those onto your Kindle.

Saying “I’m going to pirate because one specific website is changing its policy soon,” is pretty stupid.

EDIT: Turns out I was wrong about bookshop.org, you actually can’t load their eBooks into a Kindle. You need their app since they have their own DRM. Looks like I got all worked up about something without looking it up first.

There’s no thought in our government, so they’re already messing that one up. Also, it’s just the president who cares (and I guess some people who voted for him).

I’d imagine a majority of people here aren’t calling it the new name (or even know the name changed).

I live in the US and I won’t recognize the name either.

Isn’t Texas snowy Texas? I guess Alberta commonly gets more snow and is more used to it.

How would a whole country be a single state? Wouldn’t it become 13 states (or however many provinces/territories Canada has)?

I’m slowly moving away from Gmail and Google Docs/Drive, but in the meantime entering this into uBlock Origin seems to help:

mail.google.com##div[jscontroller][jsaction]:has(> span > button[aria-label="Try Gemini"])

drive.google.com##div[jscontroller][jsaction]:has(> span > button[aria-label="Try Gemini"])

docs.google.com##div[jscontroller][jsaction]:has(> span > button[aria-label="Try Gemini"])

This might be doing something for me

What about Dean Koontz?

I used to run Diaspora* on my home server for a while, thought it was cool. Stopped doing so when I realized no one used it.

The whole damn world is just as obsessed with who’s the best dressed, and who’s having sex!

Flashpoint is awesome. Makes me feel old to go back and watch old flash (and even shockwave) animations!

It’s both a browser extension and a DNS filter.

Edit: It seems the apps can act as a VPN to filter traffic.

Because you can.

New York, too! And a few other states, I think.
