I get my ebooks on one of the following services:

• Annas archive
• IRC Highway
• Z-library through TOR browser

Stable resale value is indeed a great perk of an iPhone when compared to phones running Android.

Is this book more hard or soft scifi?

What did you like about the book, if you liked it al all.

Hows the spiciness level? 1-10 pepper scale.

I also take a lot of handwritten notes but disliked the hand writing UI on Onenote, I’m using Goodnotes for this.

It would be great to have all my notes in one system but I don’t mind that much. Goodnotes has good OCR so I can search my notes.

I finished it and read the sequel, loved the Shrike story line but there’s better scifi to read in my opinion.

Assuming you don’t have any mental health issues make sure you make every day worth living.

If you do have mental health issues you should probably get that looked at by a professional.

If you feel like life is a drag, and you dislike it, change it.

Try a new sport, build that hobby project you’ve always wanted, buy a motorcycle, plan a boardgame night with friends family, try that fetish you’ve been eyeing your whole life.

Don’t be a passenger in your own life.

Democratic Republic of Congo not being so democratic after all.

Wondering hoe long it’s going to take for someone to mention Linux in the comments

Due to pop culture (movies, shows, games, etc.) I learned English. I also picked up two other languages due to school and influences from vacations.

So I’m fluent in three languages (Dutch, German and English) and can speak enough French to manage on vacations.

I read most of my books in English because I like to read books in their original language. I read a lot of hard scifi, this is a pretty specific genre and there’s little books in Dutch hard scifi books.

In Dutch I read general novels with no specific genre.

Thanks for the information. This is putting me off on Lemmy a bit, feels like I got to keep up with the latest instance drama to ensure I have a good experience.

Guess that’s the trade of with a decentralized system for now.

I also only read English for a long time instead of my own language.

I picked up some books in my native language and was pleasantly surprised.

The language in itself doesn’t matter but I could notice the writer was from my culture. There’re slight cultural references in books written by people from my culture.

In books from American writers theres also these cultural references which I understand because I grew up on the internet but still it’s not my culture.

I would recommend to check if you’re country/culture has some literature award prizes and check out some of the top books. Make sure to try a couple as a well reviewed book might not mean it’s a good fit for you.

So this would mean I wouldn’t see some piracy related content? Because I’m subscribed to some piracy communities and I think I can see the content.

I’m not really up to date with how the links between the different Lemmy instances work

Pentax ME SLR camera, bought by my uncle in the 70s. Got some dents and scratches but it’s still taking beautiful pics.

There is something better than a robot, it’s the supermarket. Never ever am I making puff pastry again.

I’ve created my account at .world, anything I missed? Seems to work fine for me

I’ve switched to Joplin which I sync with my Nextcloud server.

OneNote is also good, if you’re already in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Weed isn’t legal in The Netherlands, the sale of weed is only condoned. Meaning the coffee shops who sell weed cant legally purchase it.

As far as the laws concerned it magically appears.

Can imagine buying this if you’re in an long distance relationship and into chastity.

The company is the bad guy here, there’s no need to victim blame just because their kink doesn’t match yours.

Like the other comments say it’s an app which prompts users to post a picture at “the same” time. Its not actually the same time due to timezones.

The idea behind it is that you don’t ge to pick the perfect time for a pic when you’re at that great location or you’re looking especially cute. This means you’ll get an insight in the real life of someone.

Practically that means you’ll just see a lot of pictures of your friends whilst they’re laying on the couch 2 feet deep in a bag of crisps.
