Audiobook Shelf - self hosted Audiobook server with a really excellent UI and very reliable
Tody - a habit tracking app specifically built around house chores, with functionality for multiple family members sharing the load
Sync for Lemmy - self explanatory
Tusky - also self explanatory
This round, maybe. The whole thing is manufactured for political points, so now that being anti-woke isn't getting attention, they'll find a new thing to stir the pot.
You clearly have no idea what life with a serious criminal record is like if you think she's going to be able to just pick up where she left off when she gets out (nevermind the lost 8 years).
Don't get me wrong, what she did was fucked up, but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, and it sounds like the only sentence you'd have been happy with is more or less life in prison. She didn't set out to kill this lady, even in the heat of the moment. It's beyond fucked up to shove an old lady in any case, and every single day of those 8 years is well earned, but I don't agree that it's light.
As a society we need to get over this idea that the goal of prison is to punish the perpetrators. The point should be to rehabilitate them so that when they get out they can be decent law abiding, productive members of society. A person rotting in prison for the rest of their life does nothing but waste tax dollars and cause misery. A person rehabilitated can go on to make the world a tiny bit better, and maybe even help someone else from going down the same fucked up path she did.
Its a fact that countries whose prison systems are centered around rehabilitation have lower repeat offender rates
I've got a ReMarkable (got it for free from a friend who never used it) and I think it could be great depending on your specific use-cases.
It's a pretty great tablet for taking notes on, using the pen to write feels like writing on paper, the writing is responsive, and now they have an optional keyboard for typing things up on it for situations where that works best. The biggest downsides on the note-taking front is the difficulty in adding new templates. It comes with 15 or so templates, and you can add more, but you need to be somewhat tech savy (basically if you can work SSH and know how to move files around on the CLI, you'll be fine). Though the added templates won't be able to display previews properly, but that's not the end of the world IMO.
As an E-Reader it's functional, but a bit subpar. The screen size is awesome for reading, I use a somewhat small font, and so I can fit a good chunk of a chapter on a single page, which is nice. The built-in E-Reader is basically useless, but you can download KoReader on it (again, some proficiency in using the CLI is required here), which is excellent. The biggest issues I have with it's ability as an E-Reader are the lack of a backlight (so no reading in bed without a reading lamp) and - somewhat ironically - the size (which is both a blessing while you're using it, and a curse while you're travelling with it).
It's somewhat (but not really) FOSS - they use a proprietary flavor of linux under the hood, and you can access the base operating system over SSH. If you're a linux guy/gal, it can be pretty cool, since you can install all sorts of stuff on it and setup recurring jobs via systemd (for instance, I wrote a short systemd service which swaps out the screen saver image every 5 minutes while it's in use). This also means you can potentially brick your remarkable though, and it's not easy to unbrick (though it's possible most of the time using a USB-C breakout board).
Overall, i honestly don't use it a whole lot, but if i was the sort of person who liked making handwritten notes, I'd probably use it a whole lot more. But I generally find it easier to just use my kindle for on-the-go reading, and my phone/desktop for note-taking
It's only a partial match, but the ReMarkable runs linux under the hood, and you can install a package manager on it.
It's not a fantastic E-Reader, as it's mostly designed for taking notes, but it does work as one. The main drawback is the lack of a built in light, but depending on your use-case that might not be an issue for you
They'll have much less when they lose all their customers and have to downsize lol
It's not that they're shortsighted and dumb (well, many are, but that's not why they're spouting this BS), they know those reasons are full of shit, they just need some excuse that sounds better than "we signed a 4 year lease and so we're going to make that your problem" or "the CEO is getting lonely and misses being able to walk around the office among all his minions"
No, he's clearly referring to the "metagame" of career building that centers primarily around making your coworkers and managers like you so that they want to give you that promotion/transfer/whatever. That game is remote work lessens that BS by making everything more about the actual work
Seriously I don't understand the mindset of people who treat everything a CEO says as gospel. How much is a CEO actually involved in the collaboration or innovation going on at the IC level? Somewhere between "barely" and "not at all" I'd guess. No doubt the CEO has personal reasons he wants people back in office, and just put some BS in the all hands meeting to make it sound good
does this also block comments, or only posts? Sync has a similar feature, but only for posts, once inside a post you're still subjected to their comments. Which for troll communities is honestly the worst part
Yeah asking people to sign up for developer accounts and manage their own API is a pretty big blocker.
I know a lot of people are probably scoffing at the above statement, because in reality it's quite easy, but I think people often forget how tech illiterate the average person is. Hell, the number one criticism of Mastadon, Lemmy, and other fediverse sites is that the sign up process is complicated, despite the fact that it involves exactly one additional step (pick an instance).
Thank God π
