Haha do what works for you. I was able to get into them after a long car trip where I forced myself to listen to an audiobook. After finishing it it got easier and easier the more I did it. Now I barely read physical books.

Interesting, than you for sharing. It sounds like your use case is indeed very different from mine. Do what works for you

Not off topic at all. I have never heard of it but it sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip

Then refuse to participate. Use open source software and any other kind of system outside their control until they throw you in jail. That’s what I’ll be doing. If enough of us do they can’t jail us all. Participation is consent.

Where can you find the kind of support you speak of? I rarely call any kind of customer service line but I haven’t seen anything but the bad kind in over a decade

I always hear people say stuff like this but realistically how often are you guys using these banking apps on your phone when that is your only option? I don’t even have any banking apps installed because it’s just not something I ever need to look at on the go. Anything I need to do gets done on a different device when I’m at home or I go to the actual bank building (I almost never do that either).
I’m not saying there’s no functionality problems with alternative mobile OS’s but this one in particular just seems overblown to me.

Haha I get that. I was the same way for a long time but gave them another shot a year or so ago and now I’m hooked. They are so much more convenient than physical books

Nice, it sounds like you’re learning stuff just fine. I recommended it elsewhere in the comments here but if you’re looking for audiobook sources I suggest checking out libro.fm.
- Comment on What's a good audiobooks server/client combo? 4 days ago:
Libro.fm seems to be a solid paid service. They give half of your purchase price to a local bookstore of your choice and you can download the files in multiple formats with no DRM.

Old people who don’t go to parks because there are children and brown people there like to see grass and trees too.

Set up audiobookshelf via docker. I like using portainer to manage docker containers because it has a GUI. Command line stuff is more difficult if you don’t have the background experience to go with it. I think doing it all in a GUI feels more comfortable for most people.
Docker can also be kind of intimidating if you are just wading into the self hosting world but it really is much simpler to use once you get the hang of it. Portainer helps a ton with that. Audiobookshelf would be great to start with both imo because it’s a pretty basic set up. You have to define a storage location for your library and config files and that’s about all it takes to get it up and running.
I recently got into all this and remember well what it was like to feel out of my element so feel free to ask questions if you have any. I’m no expert but I’m happy to share what I can.

I have no doubt that many people died in German concentration camps making very similar claims about how to reinvigorate the opposition to the Nazis and what would happen after the next election. Hopefully your pontificating turns out differently than theirs did.

- Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? 1 week ago:
I can’t say that’s surprising but I have only heard of smart TVs having been confirmed to do that
- Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? 1 week ago:
Theoretically they wouldn’t have internet access if a previous occupant set them up unless one of your neighbors has an unsecured AP. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding you and you’re saying you set them up on your wireless network after you moved in. Still a good move to get rid of them but I wouldn’t be as concerned about them if the only AP they were set up to use was no longer present.

Have you had issues receiving group messages on e/OS? RCS is borked but I figured that would be the case. Not getting group texts is a problem though and I’ve tried every solution I can find but nothing seems to work.
- Comment on BASED? 1 week ago:
To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.
- Comment on YSK TikTok Is Harming Children at an Industrial Scale. We know this because we obtained messages from TikTok engineers and executives 1 week ago:
I think that any solution in the form of a formal government regulation will be subject to that kind of corruption, and real solutions need to be found elsewhere.
I think that’s a fair statement as it relates to the current US government but I don’t think that’s a valid general philosophy. I agree that our current priority should certainly be to implement a government that can be trusted to regulate things effectively. If that isn’t taken care of first then the rest doesn’t matter. As evidenced by, well, everything happening right now haha. Still, the ultimate goal should be government action on this topic because we cannot solve the problem at an individual level. Some people can have better outcomes than others but there’s no level playing field without government intervention.
- Comment on YSK TikTok Is Harming Children at an Industrial Scale. We know this because we obtained messages from TikTok engineers and executives 1 week ago:
Its perfectly relevant to my point, which is that the government is already involved in the sort of behavior we’re discussing. If we accept that preventing societal damage, or promoting social well being, or whatever else you want to call it, is a part of what the government exists to do, then why would something like preventing mega corporations from ruining the development of children fall outside its purview?

How is this argument different from “it’s not the governments job to provide healthcare / education / social services”
