But it’s not supposed to be literal!

(unless I say it is)

I think I vehemently disagree with you on principle, but it’s a point I hadn’t thought of before, so thank you for pointing out that perspective.

Try something like Wyndly. Same stuff that’s in the shots, just sublingual. Have to do it every day, but can do it at home.

Microsoft makes its money from business and enterprise customers. Home users are a drop in the bucket.

Money from home users is from stealing data.

That is a good place to start your journey.

come on guys, I do X because of Y, everyone else must do it for the same reason, and if they claim otherwise they’re definitely lying.

Then don’t be part of society is the root of that argument.

Don’t want to be tracked? Don’t use a phone. Or a car.

Don’t want to support exploitative publishers? Don’t read.

Can’t afford rent?

Can’t find a job?

It’s all just blaming people for corporate bullshit.

How do you opt out? Stop texting and delete all messages?

Notepad is simple

Doesn’t mean it’s the best thing for documentation.

Actually… a readme file is probably better for documentation if you’re really going for simple.

Ok, audiobook isn’t the same as an ebook.

Spotify is absolute ass for audiobooks and podcasts. I wish there was something better for streaming, although one of these days I’ll get around to self hosting. Maybe after retirement…

Anyway, for audiobooks I used “Voice Audiobook Player”, it’s free and open source, minimal permissions required.

For anyone wondering about podcasts, “Podcast Addict”. It has too many menus and options, can be confusing, but still a million times better than Spotify. Once you have it set up the way you want those options are very nice. Still confusing at times though :D

It’s been a while since I had the opportunity for audiobooks, so those specifically I’m a little out of the loop. Audiobookbay was a thing at some point.

For e books… Z-library and/ or Anna’s archive. The reader I use is ReadEra premium, it can handle pretty much any format although default to pick is epub. I don’t think you really need to buy premium, I just did because I wanted to support them. I’ve been using it for forever with almost no problems. You can adjust the things you want (font, spacing, light/dark, etc), but the basic format when reading is very simple once you have it set up
