I have frequently used tts for listening to epubs. I have, however, not noticed much battery drain... And it's not as enjoyable as listening to an audiobook read by a narrator you like but it kind of works to a certain extent. So I wish you tts would get better.
Got fed up with youtube algorithm shenanigans among other things and am just sticking to newpipe.
One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that I can curate my feed to show only what I am interested in by following hashtags and/or people and muting those people whose posts I don't want to see. There's no hidden algorithm controlling my feed, pushing controversial posts towards me and other stuff. So I don't get why would you need the invite only feature of bluesky control your feed?
I guess different people have different use cases. I am enjoying Mastodon and have had positive interactions with people. I have also found a lot of good quality content there. Additionally, I totally avoid political stuff so haven't had any issues of political stuff messing up my feed. IMO the invite only thing is just increasing attractiveness by creating artificial scarcity.
Had to walk to the bank in the morning. The weather is bloody humid so it was an unpleasant, sweaty experience. Got a headache later. Now feeling better.
Going well, having a relaxed Sunday.
Interesting ideas..
Seriously I had such a good laugh reading this before going to sleep. I couldn't get over the image of the person opening their bedroom door to be greeted by their cat with a knife in it's mouth! Some hold up, right!
Sometimes I have had to go outside even when it was raining. So if I am indoors and it's raining it makes me very happy thinking that I don't have to go out and the temperature would go down a bit.
I enjoyed shards of earth series especially because I found the characters very engaging and relatable. How does it compare with his other books?
I, too, read that series recently and loved it. However, I think the third book wasn't as great as the first two, but still good. How does children of time compare with this series? Final Architecture is the only work by the author that I have read.
Just 👏
