You don’t need to crack anything, pirate your ebooks (I’ve recently had good results from annas-archive.org for fiction books) and send them to kindle as personal documents.

Corporations are not people, no matter what the Supreme Court says.

Studios want to hire actors for a single day’s pay then use their image in whatever “AI” generated horrors they feel like forever

The only game journalist I trust is James Stephanie Sterling and Denuvo sure as shit isn’t sending them a copy

Laptop and Chromebook are two very different things. A laptop is sufficient for any use case that doesn’t demand GPU power, but if you’re ever considering buying a “gaming” laptop, don’t. You can get a cheap laptop and a decent gaming desktop for the same price and they’ll last you longer and run better.

A Chromebook is just walled garden bullshit.

Games are free on PC, or at least very cheap if you insist on actually purchasing them

That’s a problem that will solve itself as instances and communities grow and mature.

If you want to get really pedantic, none of the three completely different arthropods commonly called daddy longlegs are true bugs. True bugs are the order Hemiptera while crane flies are in Diptera and cellar spiders and harvestmen aren’t insects at all.

the ! addressing allows you to post a link that anybody can click to get their instance’s version of the community link.

All 3 different groups are called daddy longlegs.

Hey this is the one where the pilot has to choose the exact right moment to fold the whole thing in half and if they fuck up it explodes and kills everyone onboard

The matrix is capitalism and being cis

I tend to binge through books. I just finished Andy Weir’s Artemis and Project Hail Mary in about one night each.

Which means the things I’m in the middle of tend to be web serials since I can’t just rush through. I’ve got dozens of tabs of royalroad open in my phone’s browser. Everything by Ravensdagger is good, and I’ve been enjoying Return of the Runebound Professor and Let’s Not Obliterate, and awaiting the scheduled return from hiatus of Ends of Magic on Monday.
