    Tachiyomi is excellent for comics even though it might seem like (and originally is?) a manga reader.

    I use it with the Komga plugin to read comics from my self-hosted Komga server.

    A new way of thinking perhaps? Obviously.

    At least in Finland it's normal for some employers to offer to pay for your phone and plan and you can use the same phone all the time for both, personal stuff and work.

    With only around 100k users and most people using anonymous usernames that cannot be connected to their identity it would hardly be worth the effort, time or money.

    Yeah, the audiobooks I have tried haven't had the best narrators. Just too bland ones I guess.

    Great audiobook narrations?

    After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can't focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I'm thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else. What are your suggestions for other audiobooks with great or at least similar narration as this new version of The Silmarillion?

    After going through the painful experience of trying to export my hundreds of saved Reddit posts in a smart manner a couple of weeks ago I would definitely love to avoid the same with Lemmy. This certainly looks like something that can help me with that.

    Thanks for your hard work!

    The devs were testing out FACEIT anti-cheat (which won't work on Linux and also has a bad reputation as a rootkit) a while back but decided to revert back to EAC (which works on Linux) "at this time". If they do decide to implement FACEIT later on, that would lock all Linux gamers out of the official servers. Apparently the community servers might still run EAC after that and therefore possibly be usable with Linux though.

    So it works on Linux for now but there's no certainty about the future until the devs unveil their plans further.

    I agree with this. I have been using Pocket way before it was integrated into Firefox and tbh the extension was much better - seems like after tying it to my Firefox Sync account I have to relogin every few days to get the "Add to Pocket" button to work. The extension just remained logged in and stuff worked.

    I'm intending to switch over to self-hosted Wallabag though, for privacy and efficiency reasons.

    My condolences on your lost data. That must have been a horrible realization.

    I've also learned the hard way to keep all my important documents on Nextcloud which is completely synced to my desktop and laptop as well as backed up to another server with Borg. I also backup the ephemeral local files (screenshots, wallpapers, programming stuff) from my SSD, again with Borg to that same backup server and an external hard drive.

    Hyväksikäytön rajoittaminen on toki fiksua, sitä en kiellä. Sähköyhtiöiden katteet ja asema yhteiskunnassa ovatkin sitten eri keskustelu. Tässä tapauksessa (tai siis tämän jutun perusteella) vaan lähinnä tulee itselle mielikuva, että aivan liian monet ihmiset ovat sopimuksia solmiessaan tehneet pikaisia päätöksiä kilpailuttamatta vaihtoehtoja tai miettimättä kunnolla sopimuksen seurauksia - ja nyt niiden seurausten nielemisen sijaan tarvittaisiin valtiota pelastamaan omilta huonoilta päätöksiltä.

    Paljon puhutaan holhousvaltiosta eri kontekstissa, mutta mielestäni tämäkin alkaa olla jo sellaista. Reilu hinnoittelu on hyvästä ja ymmärrän loukon, johon osa ihmisistä on (sähkömyyjän hintojen nousua pelotellessa) päätynyt, mutta ei mielestäni kuulu valtiolle valvoa ja korjata kaikkia ihmisten huonoja taloudellisia valintoja.

    Enemmänkin kaipaisin valtion panostamista kansan taloustietouden huomattavaan parantamiseen, koska vaikuttaa siltä, että moni ostaja ei ole määräaikaisuuden käsitettä sisäistänyt tai miettinyt, miksi sähköyhtiö tarjoaisi (silloista) pörssisähköä halvempaa sähköä ylipäänsä.
