Yeah calibre is amazing, and also integrates anti-drm plugins nicely. Recently I've been reading more and more on my phone so file formats don't matter anymore, but it's still a great software just for managing your ebook archive.

As a mobile reader I can also really recommend ReadEra (free and ad free), they do have a premium version, but all that adds is synchronize books via cloud storage to other devices and sync reading progress.

Yeah but Latin pronouns are one and the same for every person of a certain gender, you don't need to associate a different set with different people. Way more complex to retain.

I thought that's building code, literally never seen any other outlets in the UK, as well as in Malaysia where they adopted the system. Though why it is or became code, I've no idea.

Yeah same problem. Worst were CRT monitors or old tube-TVs, they made a constant sound quite like a tinnitus.

Superpower in terms of military dominance maybe, but that's about it.

America isn't a first world country. It favors the rich in the same way as most African and Central Asian nations.

Looks like Michael Jackson with lip implants.

I always thought hearing electricity is normal, up until I realized most people can't do that. Never been on antidepressants or anything, that's my normal state of consciousness.

Surprise surprise, I'm extremely sensitive to all kinds of noise.

You overestimate how many people use threads. It's mostly corporate accounts that post but don't use the platform, and a bunch of bros that click ads to begin with.

Windows can do that, but opens archives as folders and will run executables by extracting them to a temp folder without dependencies. And the unpack dialogue is cumbersome, with 7zip you get a simple right click -> extract here / to folder dialogue, that somehow still is too much to ask of the main OS.

  • 7-zip
  • VLC
  • Signal
  • Currency
  • Handbrake
  • Fennec (in lieu of Firefox)

Those are the free ones I use very frequently at least, I'm sure there's more.
