Listenbrainz has decent recommendations

One book I read predicted societal disruption for 2035, with a total collapse of nations around 2050. I found it overly dramatic at the time, but now, 15 years later, it seems we're well ahead of that prediction.

Finally, this is an ideology I can embrace

It's a very intersting viewpoint, pardon me for exploring further. So future you (or me) is also dead until the brief flash of life where yours and his consciousness finally overlap, before lapsing into nothingness again.

It's very reasonable even, to think everything not experienced this very moment is totally alien to us.

Thanks for stretching my grey matter on this dull day!

The stores I have on my GrapheneOS pixel 7a: F-Droid + droidify, Aurora store, and the Google Play store as well for some official apps I cannot do without. Between these, there isn't an app that I couldn't find or install.

I bought my pixel second hand, to not put more money in Google's pocket, and to avoid any carrier locking. Not sure how that will impact the installation, but it might. Best to investigate that matter.

I have to mention: I still cannot believe how easy that installation was. I rooted my previous phone and put lineageOS on it, which was such a tedious procedure back in the day, I really dreaded installing GrapheneOS. But that web interface, detecting everything and guiding me along was pure heaven. I hope that'll become the default for any custom installs.

Distro Chooser is giving you great advice. I love EndeavourOS. First started out on it with KDE, now I'm on sway, everything just works perfectly, so I can definitely recommend it!

I'm 2 days into trying GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7a and it's been a great experience all around. I reckon I found my main driver for the next couple of years.

Ex-banker president targets banks... Now that'd be quite an unexpecred headline! Shame it'll never be.

I'm from a country in western Europe, and our pharmacies are running low. My dad was told several times over the last months that they're out of stock and he should come back next week. Sure, the price here might be okay, but Pharma seems to prefer selling it more expensively elsewhere.

Olauncher - very minimal, no distractions. Shows the app's full name instead of icons, handfull of links on the main page, the rest can be found in the app drawer in a long list of app names.

Edit: just saw the mention here of mlauncher, an open source fork. Making the switch now 🙂

Do give Russell's History of Western Philosophy a try. It places those books into a much needed context. When I first picked up that book, it was out of a hope to learn more about philosophy, but after finishing it, I only had those three books on my 'definitely must read' list. I know there's a companion book to Das Kapital written by David Harvey, but he's not the easiest to read either. And Marx, omfg, that mofo has a way of dancing around things for pages on end through the most labyrinthine sentences, so I can definitely commiserate! It took me months to get through the whole thing. Luckily I was in the middle of a move, without TV or computer, so that helped a lot :)

Wow perfect, thanks! I'd love to join the book club but I ditched Discord. This Bookwyrm instance will hopefully cure my itch! :)
