LeoniekeEn nee, natuurlijk heb ik niet via {brew} iets leuks geinstalleerd waarmee ik mijn YT playlist kan binnen hengelen.
Nee joh, ben je dwaas!
Thanks to a tip from @neurovagrant, I have cancelled my audible subscription and I have created an account with libro.fm.
As I listen to audiobooks alsmost exclusively in English, any Dutch services do not cover my audio/listening needs and wishes.
To check if libro.fm was a good fit for me, I compared my wishlist at audible (currently at about 30 titles) with the libro.fm catalogue: apart from 1 title it was a complete fit.
Next up: copying over my wishlist from one to the other, check out the specific membership options (probably going for a 2 credit/month version again) and get ready to listen.
Biggest perk: you can Download Your Purchased Audio Books!
Second biggest perk: supporting an independent bookstore, unfortunately only in the USA at the moment.
LeoniekeJeej, mijn ebookaankoopworkaround werkt!
Ik hoef mijn eboeken als Kindle gebruiker niet alleen meer bij amazon te halen, maar ik kan ze gewoon bij mijn lokale boekhandel (Paagman FTW!) aankopen.
Een kleine workaround met calibre, en ik moet zelf in de gaten houden wanneer mijn favoriete schrijvers nieuwe boeken hebben (backorder werkt niet voor eboeken), maar dat is geen probleem!
Now that Amazon is going to remove their 'download via usb' option of ebooks, I'm to glad I found out that my local bookstore also supplies ebooks. Ok, I might have to liberate them from Adobe DE, but that's doable.
Next steps?
- upload my ebook library for personal use
- find an app to download/sync my reading status
- root my old kindle with LanguageBreak (eeeks! that's scary, well, it's not really, but still ...)
Celio ReyesAs I try to focus on #debigtechmylife this year. I setup my email with @Tutanota and now need to focus on getting NextCloud up and running for our home.
Anyone pick up the @system76 new Pangolin laptop?
As I try to move away from big tech this year, it’s on my wishlist for sure!

Uploading older photos on Immich makes me realize I need to learn more about @darktable uses for adding exif metadata to photos on export.
