Thanks to the incredible developers at both audible-cli (https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/) and the amazing ffmpeg team, I can recover the books I bought at Audible, before I learned about LibroFM.

That means I can download/liberate my DRM encumbered audiobooks and place them in Audiobookshelf (an amazing program that @peribotsarah introduced me to). It's a bit of a slow process, but at least I have them.

Now I only download books from Libro.fm, which is a DRM-free audiobook online bookstore, but there are sometimes books that aren't available from there, leaving me with a very uncomfortable choice, either buying a DRM-encumbered book and supporting DRM, or not buying the book at all, which deprives me of the enjoyment.

Free Software/Free Culture folks, what do you do in this situation?

The manager said yes they can remove the title and add a credit. I was sure to thank them warmly.

I don't mean to criticize. I'm sharing to help set expectations.The manager has now asked for titles.

Also I had tremendous difficulty trying to find the help chat on the desktop site, so I had to use it from the app on my phone.

I am getting pushback. I am still in the chat. I've politely asked for a manager since the agent could not return my title.

I concur. I call that The Expanse Effect. Those books were also great but the series even better.

So I happened to notice a few weeks ago that this instance hasn't been updated in a while.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that I'm the only poster in the local feed.

I noticed last week that neither of the admins has posted publicly in the past year.

So. I dunno how much longer this instance is going to continue. The one who pays the bills has never accepted contributions.

Anyway, that's why I've been a bit more active at spore.social lately.

Suggestion for a new year's resolution if you have a pet: Stretch when the cat (or dog, etc.) stretches.
This worked so well for me last year I'm going with it again.
It doesn't have to be a big stretch. Even a shoulder roll will help you realize what's tensing up and weaknesses in your posture!

So irritated.

I saved a link or a pdf of a webpage about how to remove Google from your life. Or from your phone. Now I can't find it

btw my worksona is still adoptable!  

i do most things software related, primarily backend and bare metal embedded, with any language that's good for its job (rust is my fav tho)

i need full remote work (health reasons)

i've got a bunch of rather diverse tech skills and knowledge; software ofc, but also electronics hardware, cad, product design, r&d stuff, running server infrastructure...
