I always found pads and laptops to have a lot of overlapping use cases. Mostly everything I can do with my Galaxy tab I can perform better on my laptop. But reading/watching series is far superior on my Galaxy tab.

The most be something I don’t understand. Why would I buy flight tickets from a third party? Is there a market for this?

Agreed. All the listed problems seem moot when viewing the project as a personal one.

I will check out Libro.fm, never heard of them before but I saw that Penguin Audio sell their books via them.

As for Libation, it looks like it could replace BookLibConnect and AaxAudioConverter as a Linux alternative, which would be nice. Thanks for sharing!

I listen to a lot of LitRPG and the like, and most (if not all) first release on RoyalRoad and then on Amazon. Amazon pick up those that get traction and release them as audio books on Audible. There are certainly other studios (Soundbooth Theater, Penguin Audio), but some authors give exlusive rights to Amazon, unfortunately.

I have it and I really like it. All audiobooks that I buy from Audible are downloaded with BookLibConnect and convertet to .m4b with AaxAudioConverter. I can then stream the books with AudioBookShelf.
BookLibConnect and AaxAudioConverter are both Windows only so I have to use a VM but it is still worth it.

One of these days, I will dig into the code and rewrite the GUI to be cross platform.

I just need something that can replace audible.

Tesla stock prices are good example of this. They are down ~50% since december and up ~70% since lowest point in april last year.

In the light of Firefox's changes to sharing data and the fact that there are only two browsers^[/s], here is a reminder about Servo, an "experimental browser engine".

Who know, it could be the next big browser (one can hope at least).

 
 

Using uBlock Origin, you can add your own filter. This filter will block any post with the text "Elon Musk" (not case sensitive), modify as needed.

lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/elon musk/i"))

div.post-listing is the element to block
:has(args) returns elements where args evaluate to true
span is the element with the title text
:has-text(needle) returns the element if it has the next needle, supports regex with \needle\ and remove case sensitivity with i

I just found out about AppImageLauncher, a package handler for AppImages. It organizes them, creates desktop files for you and handles updates and removal.

Integrate AppImages to your application launcher with one click, and manage, update and remove them from there. Double-click AppImages to open them, without having to make them executable first.

Much better than having to create all the desktop files myself, and having to figure out what to put in them for it to work correctly (I'm looking at you, qBittorrent and magnet links).
