  • Thanks for the update - Onleihe may be an alternative, BookBeat looks nice and libro.fm could be an alternative for English-only books. Must fit to my workflow (buying the books and putting them into Audiobookshelf) but I'll check this out. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  • Well, I am open-minded for alternatives here that are European-based and have a similar offer like Audible or Thalia. As for Thalia, you may be right but Weltbild dismanteld itself more than a decade ago forgetting to move with the times (I loved the stores) and Mayersche - well, I know people that also said they "destroyed the small bookstores". Depends on your own opinion though. So if you know any real alternative with European background where I can buy (German( audiobooks on a similar subscription-basis - give it to me! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Went with Thalia here in Germany (still less books than Audible) and used OoenAudible to convert all my books to .M4B-files and also all MP3-files from Thalia into the same file type as well.

    Deployed an own instance of Audiobookshelf then and bought the plappa-app on iOS to stream or download the books, also having CarPlay-support here.

    A little bit complicated but the result is worth it - and new books are bought on Thalia from now on. Works for me and my use case!

  • Proโ€˜s everywhere. A masterclass of its own. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  • They asked 1000 people - not that representative and most of the German donโ€˜t want a return to the 60s or 70s - at least no people voting for the backward-looking CDU or the Neo-Nazis AfD. And well - Southern and Eastern Germany. No miracle, unfortunately. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  • In the Orange Goblinโ€˜s world, why should criminals be prosecuted or sentenced instead of being pardoned? He should better deal with the mess he is creating at home and manage his own affairs.

  • Already planned to leave after they cut off third party apps and finally made the move recently due to the CEO bowing for M*sk and deleting unwanted content. Was already looking at Lemmy and finally set up my instance and made the move - and it works for me.

  • Okay, then I'll go ahead here and check it out - that's the answer I needed. Thank you!

  • Got this - I am just interested if the system then supports enabling/disabling mobile via taskbar (KDE here)-symbol etc . pp. , therefore asking for experience with this matter.

  • Could you be more specific? Iโ€˜d like to know how Linux handles the implementation of eSIM in general - independent from the hardware vendor or the age of the model. When thereโ€˜s an eSIM, Iโ€˜d like to use it. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    How do modern Linux-distros handle eSIM-integration?

  • Well, why should Agent Krasnov put tariffs on the hand that feeds him, good old Vlad? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  • Silly move - hailing from Finland was a big plus and I already considered going with Suunto with my next watch. As I am fine with the manufacturing process, storing user data outside of Europe isn't something that is a plus aspect against Garmin... So there is just Polar left? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

  • Still missing the brand that I once used before the iPhoneโ€ฆ the Pearl was a legend once and pairing the keyboard with a device supporting GrapheneOS or similar would be great!

  • The typical jabbering of Michail Kretschmer, one of Putinโ€˜s most loyal trojan horses in German politics. A well-known sycophant.

  • Should I be worried using Threema and having recently migrated to Proton? This world is dismantling so fast we all canโ€˜t catch upโ€ฆ ๐Ÿซค
