I second the recommendation of Go. I'm very much a beginner, but the subtlety and variety of every game kind of ruined chess for me.
Some more recommendations of learning or beginner resources:
Go Magic has a lot of really in depth video and interactive tutorials. There's a paid plan, but the beginner and early intermediate courses are free and way more thorough than anything else online right now.
The Conquest of Go is a great little game on steam that has its own tutorials and a campaign mode with scaling difficulty. It's my favorite way to play against bots, but you can also connect your OGS account and play online through there.
Stardew Valley is great even if it's out of date (though I'm not a huge fan of the interface on mobile)
Minecraft is also great on Android these days
Looks great! I'm currently on standard Fedora KDE, but will probably switch to this next time I reinstall.
If you really wanted to track books you don't have digitally, I guess you could use a dummy file (even a blank txt could work) and use Calibre itself to add all the metadata. It's far from ideal, though.
You can do it pretty easily in Calibre with custom columns for reading status, rating, etc. For Kobo users, the KoboTouchExtended plugin syncs reading status automatically (I'm sure there's some equivalent for other ereader brands).
How weird that the BBC never seems to have a republican around when talking about the monarchy.
I don't think it's a bad idea in principle, but what got me suspicious is that I couldn't find the resolution anywhere on their page. From the only picture of the screen I found, it looks painfully low res:
Not my essay! It's just the best summary I've seen so far. My garden is still under construction, but I might share it here when it's done.
Edit: if you're interested in the specifics of how to make one easily, I'm using Obsidian, a great free notetaking app with a paid Publish feature (there's a student discount on Publish too, so that's a plus). There are some guides on making one there, like this one.
These all seem to be US-developed. Does anyone know which one(s) should work best for other countries?
I like searching by publisher every once in a while: if a book I read is a particularly well done translation or edition, odds are the company have done a similarly good job elsewhere.
In my experience Kobos are pretty long lasting. I got a Libra 2 last year because of the larger screen and page turn buttons, but my Glo HD from 2016 still works flawlessly.
If trying them all sounds like fun, go ahead! I personally love downloading a bunch of isos and poking around the live usb (pre installation) version of different distros every once in a while.
Though honestly, if you just want to get started you can probably do anything you want on any distro. Distro choice seems to matter less and less these days.
I find the Tumblr migration kinda funny. Tumblr has already had many of the changes we hate seeing on Reddit right now. Lemmy and co are still small, but have a way stronger foundation and more room to grow.
I found it a bit too distracting when I tried it, but the real dealbreaker was not being able to use it on ereaders.
People interested in this sort of thing should also check out Atkinson Hyperlegible, a free front by the Braille institute. While its main purpose is accessibility, I find that the very recognizable letter shapes help a bit with reading speed and comfort.
All the soundtracks Darren Korb makes for Supergiant. Hades resonates more with me as it's the one I've played the most, but I'm also a huge fan of Transistor's.
Nothing compares to DuckDuckGo with bangs, which let you change over to any other search engine with two or three characters. I usually use !g (Google), !w (Wikipedia) and !aw (ArchWiki).
