I’m a big Baxter fan, never really read anything by Pratchett somehow, and I ended up with the same opinion pretty much. I gave up reading after three books, they just didn’t seem to be going anywhere or anything really happening. Great idea, it just ended up being boring.
My daughter reads a lot of books checked out via overdrive on her kobo (in Canada), though the search feature on the kobo itself is kind of garbage. We have better luck doing a search with the Libby app on a phone, checking it out, then syncing the kobo.
I use a Kindle myself (purchased on one of the good sales for roughly half price), though primarily via epub files transferred to the Kindle using Calibre. It’s a busy UI, but it does work well and has lots of features. Pretty good as an archive of your ebook library.
Scorched Earth was awesome, never got a lot done in computer classes at school because of it :)
Google literally didn’t exist when I first was thrust into vim (well, vi) a large number of years ago ;) Pretty sure I eventually gave up and closed the terminal window - dialed directly into the university’s unix server. Can’t remember which version of unix it was, though.
It was probably the default editor for tin, the usenet client I was using. At least pine used pico as its editor which was a bit more friendly.
I’ve tried audiobooks before (which are highly dependent on the narrator, obviously) but haven’t really enjoyed them. Too often I realize I hadn’t really been listening for a good chunk of minutes. Might be a good option for at work, but I have to pay attention to things outside of my immediate workload :(
I haven’t read it yet, but was planning on picking that one up at the library when I return this one. I’ve heard it was good from my friends that have read it.
I’m finally reading The Martian by Andy Weir, picked it up on a whim when I brought the kids to the library on Saturday and I’m almost finished it now. I’ve actually had it on my Kindle for a while but never got around to starting it. I’m enjoying it, looking forward to reading his other books soon.
I read mostly on my Kindle, but I prefer (and miss) reading actual books. But most of my reading is done when its dark and not always able to turn on a light.
I drop by /. once or twice a year… definitely not the same as it used to be. Even remember when they added accounts, I ended up with a sub-400 uid even though it felt like I took a while to bother.
Kinda funny they stil have aim/icq fields on your user info page…
At this point - nothing. I’ve been less and less happy with that place lately, and this is just the final push. Hopefully I’ll find a lot of the same things either here, or somewhere else, or just not at all I guess.
Destiny 2 was one I wanted to mess around with a little recently, since the game itself was interesting enough to me. Got bored probably nowhere close to the end of the long and boring tutorial section. There are others that I can’t recall the name of, too. Obviously not memorable enough.
I think modern games in general hold your hand too much. Some small level of hand holding/tutorial is fine, but so many take it way too far. I’ve gotten bored of a lot of games before they actually started because of that.
Also chinesewatches, for great value watches and less snobbery that seems to be in watches on reddit :)
I’ve been happy with Porkbun as well, I just need to finish moving the rest of my domains over there to keep them all in one place so I don’t forget any.
While fine for me, I thnk this is going to be one of the bigger hurdles for newer users. It’s not the most obvious, really. I’m not sure what could help, maybe some bookmarklet exists to make it simpler to subscribe via the instance you’re using?
Assetto Corsa (assuming mods are included) and Factorio (again, with mods, but to a lesser degree).
