We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!

I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I've been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

E-books

I love having the physical thing in my hands, but love that we've gotten to a point where I can log on to Libby and just download one too, or back up digital versions of my favorites on my hard drive so I hopefully never lose them.

Have you checked out using an IRC for e-books?

IRC as in the old-school chat protocol?

[-] palitu@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Yep! There is a great post on Lemmy about hot to get ebooks from irc

Do you have that post? I was doing it from a reddit post but it recently stopped working for me ( a me problem not an irc problem probably).
