On the one hand, those are some jackasses that should be fined. On the other hand the jackass caucus is going to be forever trying to use similar measures as a tool to interfere with the democratic process.

"That doesn't work for me."

Also,

"You creating and mandating a plan for our future that doesn't involve discussing my wants and needs shows that you don't value them"

I don't have any idea what the rest of your relationship is actually like. From the little here, sounds like you're ready to move on, and so is she. If she's giving you that ultimatum from another country she may also be hoping you do the hard part and break up with her, relieving her of whatever feelings of guilt that might be associated. Remember though... No guilt is necessary from either of you to move on. You want different things from the time that you have, and that's ok.

Basic premise most agree with in 2024: wars of aggression are bad.

Who is the aggressor, what is their political history, what are the skin colors involved, what are the respective ideologies, who are 'allies'... all of those things influence how the baseline premise is perceived.

No more Facebook? Twitter? App stores?

That image is very hard not to down vote.

And it's mind blowing that the two options are polling as close as they are.

Then don't be part of society is the root of that argument.

Don't want to be tracked? Don't use a phone. Or a car.

Don't want to support exploitative publishers? Don't read.

Can't afford rent?

Can't find a job?

It's all just blaming people for corporate bullshit.

How do you opt out? Stop texting and delete all messages?

Notepad is simple

Doesn't mean it's the best thing for documentation.

Actually... a readme file is probably better for documentation if you're really going for simple.

Ok, audiobook isn't the same as an ebook.

Spotify is absolute ass for audiobooks and podcasts. I wish there was something better for streaming, although one of these days I'll get around to self hosting. Maybe after retirement...

Anyway, for audiobooks I used "Voice Audiobook Player", it's free and open source, minimal permissions required.

For anyone wondering about podcasts, "Podcast Addict". It has too many menus and options, can be confusing, but still a million times better than Spotify. Once you have it set up the way you want those options are very nice. Still confusing at times though :D

It's been a while since I had the opportunity for audiobooks, so those specifically I'm a little out of the loop. Audiobookbay was a thing at some point.

For e books... Z-library and/ or Anna's archive. The reader I use is ReadEra premium, it can handle pretty much any format although default to pick is epub. I don't think you really need to buy premium, I just did because I wanted to support them. I've been using it for forever with almost no problems. You can adjust the things you want (font, spacing, light/dark, etc), but the basic format when reading is very simple once you have it set up
