This extension really changed my life, or at least my fraught relationship with YouTube!

alex ,

I believe someone had asked for it and they said it was nearly impossible. You’d be able to do it in a single given app maybe, but the « download an episode by default » system, the (wonderful) variety of podcasting apps, and the variety of podcast ad services all make it nearly impossible. It’s somewhere in the issues!

alex OP ,

I don’t know about the author, but I’m on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I’ve tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn’t really click for me (as in, I didn’t see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don’t answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven’t given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

Just started The daughter of Doctor Moreau yesterday.

Before that, Rana Joon and the one and only now was absolutely wonderful and I really recommend it.

Fiction!

I’ve finally fallen in love with reading again over the last year. Problem is I’ve only been reading non-fiction. it makes my brain hurt. I’d like to have some stuff I can turn to when attempting to read gender trouble gives me another headache. I don’t have any particular preference for genre. I used to read fantasy,...

alex ,

I have no recommendations but please know that Gender Trouble is actually a psyop book written only to melt the brain of people who attempt to read it (/s)

I just can’t get my head around this monster of a book!

alex ,

Yeah, Anna’s Archive bragged about doing it (and they did great).

I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett's Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com.

Edit: Only available in the US.

    people really hate when developers are paid for their work huh

    alex ,

    I’d recommend donating to your national Wikimedia chapter if you aren’t in the US. They’re not funded by megacorps and they often struggle financially, and they’re the ones doing a lot of work on the ground.

    alex ,

    Yes, especially books I want to lend to friends because I thought they deserved attention.

    alex ,

    I’m really grateful for this series!

    alex OP ,

    (I don’t think that’s it - it’s 9.99 if you’re paying on desktop and 12.99 with the Apple tax (also applied to Android), but applies to your whole account.)

    alex ,

    yup

    alex ,

    Yes and no: I don’t on purpose, but sometimes I end up doing them because of Halloween related releases :)

    alex ,

    Hahaha that’s fair! I’m a big mood reader and happy to ignore my TBR (which I keep small) so reading new releases does happen sometimes :)

    alex ,

    Fellow French - wait until you realize their unions only apply to one company and not a whole industry so they can’t actually do anything on a large scale. This broke me.

    alex ,

    It’s a Lemmarr now!

    You can still come back!

    How to Follow WordPress Blogs From Anywhere on the Fediverse (wedistribute.org)

    Integration between WordPress and ActivityPub has been a long time coming. It’s existed in several different iterations over the years, but the latest attempt is directly sponsored by Automattic, the owners of WordPress. This article covers some basic how-tos and explains some various quirks in the integration.

    alex ,

    Last time I tried to @ a Lemmy community it didn’t work at all unfortunately.

    alex ,

    I’m talking about WordPress :)

    alex ,

    I think so too and made an issue which I hope will get fixed someday!

    alex ,

    I really don’t think they’re bad or even worse than the rest. I do feel like they’re so different from the other books that whether someone liked them or not doesn’t tell them if they’ll like the rest, which is the only reason I don’t recommend it as a taster before deciding on whether to read the other 30+ tomes.

    Recommendations for an outsider

    I learned to read in grade school like pretty much everyone else I know, and I remember really enjoying reading for a very narrow portion of my younger years. When reading books became a compulsary part of school, that enjoyment just vanished, and video games ended up filling that void of “solitary passtime”. I dont even...

    alex ,

    For horror, if you haven’t done so already, you can read some Stephen King - The Shining, It, etc. are classics. Carrie is very short and I really like it. The Long Walk is my favourite, with Battle Royale vibes.

    I find him pretty easy to read and he’s definitely a master of his craft. I think you’re incredibly lucky that you can discover these masterpieces as an adult without previous influence!

    alex ,

    I believe The Storygraph is working on creating something relatively similar on the longer term. Currently they have « buddy reads » - I’ve never used them but from what I understand you can sign up for a buddy read on a book and get matched with someone else?

    alex ,

    Thanks for the detailed test! I thought it would be an option for people who already opted in and not just having the book on their to-read :(

    alex OP ,

    not as far as I know from my younger sisters. to be fair, we didn’t learn much media literacy in my time either.

    alex OP ,

    That’s an excellent point, thanks for sharing your insight!

    alex OP ,

    good luck! I believe in you!

    alex OP ,

    That is a reference I do not get.

    alex OP ,

    Ahh gotcha! And yeah that was another post by me, from the same website, on the same community, so the confusion is understandable:)

    Recommendation for romances books similar to Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined

    I am reading Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined and i was wondering if there are other books that have a similar love story/development of their relationship, I don’t care if the story is about vampires, i am just interested in the romance but I prefer a fantasy background if possible

    alex ,

    I haven’t read that one but have heard of it. Have you tried Vampire Academy? Personally I really like this series, it’s not 90% romance but it definitely plays a big role.

    alex ,

    Yeah I’ll ask for the “Hide US” button

    alex ,

    I’m a solid 7, pretty happy
