I’ve been using KOReader on my phone now, ever since my Kindle one day decided to be unrecognisable on my computer. Couldn’t find a solution to fix it so it became a glorified paperweight.

The screen real estate is slightly degraded, but fuck if I give Amazon any more of my money. Besides, I get to store epubs as epubs instead of converting to that god awful mobi format.

I switched to Pipepipe from Newpipe because I wasn’t sure Newpipe was being maintained. Pipepipe has SponsorBlock.

That is the fundamental problem with email as a protocol, yes?

Zero knowledge inbox, externally audited code, a company actually caring for user privacy definitely is a win for me when the alternative is Google hoovering up your data. Is this what you meant by saying it is the next best thing?

How much more private than end to end encryption do you want? Unless you mean something else by private.

I play World of Tanks which has frequent battle passes. I used to try and grind earlier but then came a moment where I said fuck it, this feels like work and not fun. So now I just treat the base game as what I get. Any other reward is just a bonus. This change in mindset has worked quite well for me.

I do not like how websites prioritise the mobile view over desktop view even when it is on a desktop. You have a widescreen and want to waste all that horizontal space? Just ridiculous!

Yeah yeah, I understand it is less maintenance from a developer point of view, but still it is infuriating as a user.

It maybe comes from an all or nothing mentality. I would have tremendous Schadenfreude if Reddit does indeed die, but the culture there changed and I don’t really care if all of Reddit migrated here. As long as Lemmy is active enough, I am content.

Mathologer, if you like maths - youtube | invidious

Alex - he now focuses on series, where he explores how to make something by talking to experts and then experimenting. Some of my favourites are the fried rice and the pasta series. Does not focus on recipes though his earlier content did. youtube | invidious

If you like PBS Space Time, I recommend History of the Universe

They are longer and more like a documentary than a clip. I suggest watching them in order because some videos build on the other.

Europa Universalis 4. Actually most Paradox games.

I really ought to start looking at usernames before I read comments.
