Critical tech enthusiast
Love your PC hardware piece for a bookmark!
My fav is more than 30 years old and has been through many wonderfull books with me. It is made of leather and shows a hedgehog under a starry sky.
If you liked Voyager, you will like Prodigy I would say. It is for the young (at heart).
“Burn Book” by Kara Swisher A book about Big Tech and Tech Giants by the one journalist, who followed the development in Silicon Valley from the beginning. So far I like it very much. Swisher is still convinced, that tech (companies) can make this place a better world, if it wasn’t for the irresponsibility of its owners. It’s comforting to see her love for tech, her frustration with company leaders, and her firm belief, that it might still work out somehow. I’m curious, how it will go on and what she thinks might help getting tech back on track.
I got ill and luckily took the time to watch this. As a huge fan of Star Trek and Janeway I love it!
Thx for pointing out and enjoy.
Yeah, sure looks like a fork of FairMail and that GUI was always irritating me. I’ll stick with K9.
These books’ worlds absorbed me so completely in the most positive way!
Though I must admit I’m a fan of rereading anyway. Don’t know how many unknown books I skipped for a reread of know ones. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also opting in for Voyager. I swear, I can feel my pulse drop as soon as the Intro starts.
Depends on the OS you’re using. Most custom ROMs based on LineageOS have this kind of setting: Settings > Privacy > Trust > SMS message limit.
First, I love characters that are regularly puzzled by human beings / being human:
Spock
Data
Odo
The Doctor
Seven of Nine
Saru
Second, I love strong female characters:
Katherine Pulaski
Kira Nerys
Kathryn Janeway!!!
SNW Uhura
SNW Chapel
Third, I love queer characters:
Guinan
Garak
Jadzia Dax
Adira and Gray
I might have forgotten an awfull lot of equally amiable characters, which doesn’t mean that I don’t love them.
“Tao: The Watercourse Way” by Alan Watts
“Walden” by Henry David Thoreau
“A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf
My longtime favs (apart from LOTR by Tolkien) are:
Replicator. First things first.
I almost always switch to Roboto as soon as I open a new ebook.
I have the Touch Lux 5 and it is not so much about features, but about the price/performace ratio and the independence from format. No stylus though.
I second Pocketbook.
The Ea-Cycle series by David Zindell.
I would have enjoyed a TLDR section.
I’m not a huge fan of managing in general, therefore my answer might disappoint you: I use Calibre and my columns are restricted to title, author(s), and tags. Once in a while I make a backup . On my ebook reader (a Pocketbook) all ebooks are stored on a SD card, no folders. A new ebook is send to the reader by mail, moved from internal storage to SD card and then imported to Calibre.
Shoshana Zuboff’s “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” - way too narcisstic for my liking.
Disclaimer: I’m a huge fan of multipart series. My current favourites are:
Fantasy: “The Realm of the Elderlings” by Robin Hobb
SF: “Manifold” Trilogy by Stephen Baxter
Both works are epic beyond measure, full of incredible ideas, and a joy to read (at least for me that is).
TOS in the early 90s.
Boy, was I disappointed, when I discovered how old it already was 😅.
