I don’t want to “just” drag and drop anything, it’s 2025.

I want to have a service that keeps track of what books I have read/listened and what’s my location in them.

Then I can plug into that service on multiple different devices and the state is automatically shared between them. I can pick up any computer with a browser and keep listening where I left the book on my phone.

You can buy audiobooks outside of Audible: https://soundbooththeater.com/series/dungeon-crawler-carl/

For me the advantage of Bluesky is that I can own my identity. I can reserve [email protected] and use that, without having to run my own instance.

With Mastodon I’d have to put up a full-ass server instance and worry about federation etc just to have my “own” identity instead of [email protected] or something

ICE would say “Papers, please” to him

You do know why they schedule posts? Because of more engagement 😀

Who would ever use a social media tool like this if they’re no interested in “corporate slop”?

News stopped being news when the 24 hour news cycle started. Now it’s just entertainment.

Unraid has a Black Friday sale coming up, if you’re not set on spending time building a full Linux NAS from scratch Unraid is a lot easier as a base.

A basic DOS system has zero networking or open ports

You post to a location you control, then post the link to that to other sites.

That way you own and control the content.

There’s a reason why Meta and Twitter hate external links, it takes people out of their feed

Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/386/ 😀

But more seriously: I do frequent shitty FB forums where newbies ask the same question over and over again. I can just quickly copy-paste my longish and sourced response every time. I’m pretty close to just setting up an Alfred/TextExpand macro for the most common ones 😀

(On a proper forum we could just point them to a FAQ thread, but Meta makes is intentionally hard because ✨engagement✨)

There is a map like that out there, if I remember correctly like 40+ states had “did not vote” win…

If I can’t buy it, I will pirate it with zero moral issues.

I own over 1000 DVDs and a couple hundred BluRays, but will pirate anything that gets removed from streaming or isn’t available in my region for some shitty licensing reasons.
