German ebooks

Does anyone know any additional sites for downloading ebooks in German besides anna's and libgen? I am mostly interested in sci-fi/fantasy novels.

Now, if it was a Pixel...
  • One more thing I forgot to add. The OS shits itself when I try to charge my phone and use it at the same time. All apps lag, you can't scroll, can*t type without noticible delay and can't even close the app by swiping. This was doxumented on some forums. Noone knows why. (I use the charged I got with my phone)

  • The phone kept nagging me to update to 12 and later to 13 all the time. I didn't manage to find a way to make the notification go away... Maybe it's just me being a doofus. As for the notifications thing, I literally tried everything except factory resetting my phone. Guess I am just unlucky.

    I wanted to get some of the Samsung apps back, but most weren't updated to work on 12 at that time and later I just forgot and gave in. I've never used F-Droid before but it looks like a good time to start now. Tnx for reminding me about it.

  • I was thinking about it ever since Louis Rossmann showcased it. But as he had problems using his banking app and some other stuff, I decided it wouldn't be worth the hassel. Also, many people wrote that with Graphene you lose a lot of the fancy camera shenanigans that Google made. And the camera was one of the more important points in getting this phone.

  • The most annoying thing is that major android updates are mandatory. I could not choose NOT to update. Notifications are bugged as hell for ages. Some just disappear, some don't even ring/light up. Samsung had some apps that had more features compared to the Google alternatives. The only annoying this were all teh MS apps that I couldn't deinstall.

  • Linux equivalent of Win+Ctrl+Shift+B? (Restart graphics driver)
  • I have a case. My PC at work is a HP Celeron PC. For some reason the Intel HD drivers go nuts in Office and the whole ribbon just turns black. That spreads to all other applications and makes every signel menu bar just a black rectangle. The only solution to this is to restart the driver. No driver or windows update could fix it.

  • Biden: House Republicans 'walking away from the threat of Russia'
  • An honest question - why would he want Europe? The assumptions for why he attacked Ukraine were because of some huge natural gas reserves that were discovered and because the pipeline from Russia to Europe goes thru Ukraine and they are forced to pay transit fees or something like that. The rest of Europe is all Nato and they can legaly attack them from all sides. Wouldn't the decision to open a new front be like the most retarded thing to do?

  • "A language is a dialect no one would want to touch with a ten-foot pole" - Max Weinreich
  • All official texts use standard German, but the differences appear in day-to-day communication. People usually write in their dialect and since there is no orthographic standard, it looks quite bizzare. If you know a little bit of German, take a look at Tapakapa Erklärt. An Austrian guy speaking and subtitling in his (Vienna?) dialect.

  • Close enough. My original ideas was that Dutch is often taken as a joke language due to sounding like a cross-over between English and German. I just added Austria taking Bavaria with her because of the strong linguistic similarities. The inspiration for this meme was a comment on YT. A Dutch guy made a video in English with a strong accent. A German dude wrote "You should have made a video in German instead of in broken English." The only reason we know the dude in the video was Dutch is because of some text in the background, but the accent sounded German.
