Honestly I’ve really enjoyed Zorin. It’s made life simple when it comes to migrating friends and family to Linux. Specifically the way they handle fonts and scaling in office programs when opening Microsoft files. It’s been easy to get my wife to get off of windows after they started bombarding her with adds on her fuckin desktop screen.

2 is correct

Why are your bags in a sock? Bags go in bags.

How many drugs have you taken today?

Automated book grabbing is very hard imo. I’ve tried readarr and a bunch of other things. I settled on just manually downloading what I want and sending to kindle. There isn’t going to be a good automated setup until indexers get better for ebooks or readarr somehow adds support for irc downloads.

I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it’s because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it’s bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can’t get pulled away from it. Its all about what you’re used to.

Second stremio. I use the torrentio addon without rd but always with vpns. It’s a backup for me for when my main nas goes down so I don’t want to pay for rd.

Artemis doesn’t let you sign in with different instances but as soon as it does I’ll start using it more.

As medicine advances, most diseases or conditions will be diagnosed more often. With the extreme increase in technology in the past 50+ years I wouldn’t say that cancer is being over diagnosed just because we can find it better. While mental health science is arguably far behind traditional medicine, I wouldn’t say that ADHD as a whole is over diagnosed. Is it probable that there are some bad doctors that will simply hand wave kids away with an ADHD diagnosis? Sure but those cases are far less common than you might think. As someone with ADHD I have seen the sentiment that it is over diagnosed arise in my life as people claiming that what I suffer from isn’t real and I need to pay attention better, or that I’m just “abusing the Adderall to get ahead in life.” So no I don’t think it is over diagnosed and people around the world need to have a better understanding of how mental illness truly affects the people that suffer.

I’ve been on Linux for a while but this shit is starting to make my wife ask about switching over. Which is something I never thought I’d see.

OpenBooks by Evan buss on GitHub. It’s an irc based downloader and I have been able to find even the most obscure stuff with it. At least so far.

I wonder how many of the accounts on world are ones that are just left for dead as people moved around to other instances. I myself was day one on world but the outages became too much.

I don’t, no. I’m on the android train but my mother in law is all apple. She adds books from her phone then they are there to read on her iPad when she goes to bed.

Zlibrary / libgen and just open the files in apple books. Works across devices for me.

You can do it with certain apps. Sync I’m pretty sure does this but I’m sure others do too

If you’re pirating stuff I wouldn’t let a data collection group just set shit up in your apartment. No idea what they know but imo it isn’t worth the risk.
