There’s is no such thing as absolute good in this world, you will always be choosing the lesser evil

LoL nice I would have just stood there and laughed at that loser

When I started playing rdr2 I thought I’d mostly be focused on the mission like most games but what ended up happening is that I mostly just roamed around the beautiful mountains and plains and forests, camping and fishing because such simple beauty is completely absent in my life, all I have for nature is some manicured gardens and artificial lakes, there’s no personal freedom of movement, no going for a walk in places unknown, no privacy to just relax without worry, I grew up in the 90s pre internet and social media and cell phones, even though I grew up in a city, life still felt enjoyable and more social in so many ways, now I live isolated and disconnected and discontent with what has become of society, if I could I’d choose to live in the world of rdr2 as well

Oh so it’s a stupid generalization

Do people think what induces fear is the same for everyone, we all have different triggers, what’s scary for one person can be mundane for another, it’s pointless to judge a movie by this one arbitrary factor, for me a horror movie is good or bad based on a lot more than just this one factor of how scary it felt

I have no idea what this meme is trying to convey

I recently bought a Ebook from Bookshop.org thinking I could download and transfer it to my cracked Kindle and to support the author only to find out it is DRM locked and can only be read on their specific apps, so now I am asking for a refund and meanwhile downloaded a copy of the book throught other legal sources and enjoying it, all these lockin systems just screw over the paying customers and incentivize sailing the high seas, brain dead greedy pigs will dig their own grave and then pass the blame to others

If you have KOReader installed on your e-reader then you can select books in Calibre and wirelessly send them to your device in one click

You know some people beat this drum that more people should pay for good software and that it guarantees it’s longevity and independence, and so I did buy the pro version of Nova years ago and now we are here, I think when it comes to software unless it’s open source and you can have full control over it then it’s not worth anything, as it’s only matter of time before it either gets deleted or enshitified, that’s why I started shifting to open source alternatives for most things

It’s rare to find people who are actually interested in learning anything, most will just parrot something they’ve heard in passing or rely on gut feeling, and if your fact goes against their made up assumption then they will deny what you say rather than look it up and learn, because being seen to not know something hurts their feelings.

I see, that’s good to hear, since KOreader has a direct integration with Calibre, when I connect it to my server it shows up as a external device in Calibre and I can select multiple books in Calibre and directly send to the Kindle in one click which I find more convenient than navigating a OPDS catalog from within my slow kindle and downloading books one by one, but maybe in the future when I get a better e-reader I will give Kavita a try.

It’s more for note taking, annotation and drawing than purely reading ebooks though, the form factor alone would make it uncomfortable for long reading sessions I think

I’ve looked into Kavita before and it looks good, just need to figure out a way I can wirelessly connect to it using KOreader on my Kindle to transfer books and sync reading progress

Jokes on Amazon I already jail broke mine and can directly download books from my Calibre server to it, KOreader ftw

Directly on the device no, but I can start my Calibre server and connect to it from my Kindle wirelessly through KOreader to transfer the books

Like most of Neals books I found this book long and meandering, so I dropped it after a while, just wish he could better edit and pace his books. I enjoyed snow crash but every book of his I’ve tried since I could not finish.

Same I just bought a used kindle and jail broken it so now I have a huge library to go through and I have downloaded a bunch of movies and tv shows to my media server as well

Damn that must be scary in the moment, but also what an interesting experience, was that feeling of seeing the world with a new perspective temporary or do you feel it left any lasting impact?

I assume you mean ego death and not literal death
