Where do you buy (or get) e-books from besides Amazon?
  • Not what you asked for, but if you're interested at all in digital audio books, I cannot recommend highly enough Chirp Books. They use a flash sale kind of model, and sometimes the author you're interested in has their books at 90% off for like 30 days, and it cycles on rotation. You do need their proprietary player app to listen, but you can download the audiobooks to your device for offline listening.

    For actual ebooks, you could look into your local library, and what schemes are available for 'digital lending'. Some platforms exist that let you loan movies, games, stream music and download ebooks using your local library card.

  • Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol' British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you're feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that's your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

  • Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

    And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

  • Scythe [Mr Lovenstein]
  • The 'small caps' really gave it away to me but I wasn't familiar with which book - thank you! The Death books were always very humanizing in an interesting way, His scenes were always my favourite.

  • Oxygen
  • Reminds me of the short story podcast 'The Truth' episode - "They're Made out of Meat". In fact I think it may have been a short story I once read online beforehand, that they may just have dramatized. (?)

  • The tab count. It only happens with 9.
  • Do the improved Chromium browsers all count as bad browsers now? I use Vivaldi. I'm not certain but I think DuckDuckGo's browser might be based on Chromium, too.

    Vivaldi still displays a face. It's probably a Chromium thing.

  • It's been fifteen years. - The Oatmeal
  • So, dude makes art on the internet and wanted to use his output to create a revenue stream for himself? Shocking, how dare he. Randall Munroe got popular doing xkcd, and now he's written books just to further make a name for himself. A damning indictment.

    Android intent for instance links

    When we used reddit, and you found a link on Google or in an email that went to reddit.com, it would open up that link in Boost. Same for the email notifications when you got an inbox message or a comment reply - following the link opened up your inbox in Boost, not your web browser.

    Since there are an almost infinite number of instances to match the URL for, is this behaviour just not possible with Lemmy, by the nature of the fediverse?

    I think I remember Android having a manual option to set default apps for certain links, so I'm going to try and set Boost the default app for links starting with my home instance. Not sure if Boost will necessarily understand the links though and how to process it..

    Thought experiment: could Spez just make reddit speak ActivityPub and turn it into a Lemmy instance?

    What if reddit joins the fediverse? What are the implications for that if it were even feasible? We would end up with subreddits as communities on Lemmy such as [email protected], perhaps.

    What are the community's thoughts on this, given the new app by Meta that has attempted to join our free society? Do we just defed, and hope that all the popular instances all do the same?
