Wow, shelfmark looks really cool. I like the customisation moon+ reader offers for the UI, but find the progress sharing a little lacking, so will take a look at readers, thanks.

Download books from libgen, Anna’s archive, torrents. Move (sftp) to a watched folder on my pi4 that’s running calibre and then download from server using moon reader
- Comment on FCC grants approval for sun-reflecting space mirror that's been widely criticized by astronomers 1 week ago:
It’s an interesting concept. But knowing capitalism it’ll soon be used and abused.
/We can’t have anything nice.Reflect Orbital’s satellite, Earendil-1, features an adjustable “highly specular, thin-film reflector” for directing sunlight, and a built-in propulsion system that’s supposed to help it avoid collisions and otherwise maneuver while in low-earth orbit. Reflect Orbital imagines operating a Starlink-esque network it can position for on-demand sunlight (powering solar panels or increasing visibility for search-and-rescue teams), but for now it’ll test its premise with a single satellite.

A GP (doctor) once recommended walking in nature - something to do with fractals being pleasing to the eye - and now many years later I really do appreciate how much I enjoy and feel energised after walking in nature.
He also probably prescribed some chemicals.

Red Dead Redemption 2. Gosh darn rockstar really do make some excellent games. As always I can never bring myself to be a real bad guy especially with the characters and writing.

- Comment on Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative" 5 weeks ago:
I’ve bought 3 Xboxes. 2 had hardware failures whilst out of warranty and with no easy repair options.
I also have my pc with almost unlimited choice over where I buy my games. The ability to fix or at least replace parts (barring the current memory shortage).
Even the old “consoles just work” argument is gone with updates and forced online.
Why the fuck would I put up with all that shit lol.
