Finally, a church that’s in the news for doing something GOOD.

I love Libby! I listen to audiobooks with it all the time.

Other fun library facts:

• If you don’t like leaving the house, lots of libraries let you sign up for a card online
• In addition to books, they usually have ebooks and audiobooks online, as well as DVDs and CDs at your local branch
• You should visit your local library and see if they have other things…some have video games, or kitchen/cooking equipment, there are often classes or presentations, all free

Oh yeah, my bad for not including what it’s about. I’ll edit that back into the post.

Yeah, that headline did the star of Real Genius dirty with choosing Batman Forever

Yeah, Mailspring is what I use currently, but the sidebar pretty much just shows the list of e-mails, no other data, but it is the best of what I’ve found on my own.

Simon Caine makes the best videos revealing the crazy shit big tech does. I’m looking forward to the companion videos on Zuckbook and Twitter

Broadly speaking, people aged 40+ still sometimes buy albums, but most young people mostly just stream.

Fuck Spotify. If you don’t want to be a 40 year old and buy albums, Deezer and Tidal pay much larger royalties than Spotify.

Microsoft is like a super clingy ex.

I’m a year into developing my first game though and this means I don’t have to abandon all the progress I’ve made. After I publish this game, all bets are off as to where I go…or should I say where I godot.

Seriously, tech enshittiffication is feeling all too familiar.

I’m really hoping some of the bigger Unity devs, like the people that made Rust or Among Us sue, as most of us don’t have enough money to even stand a chance in court against Unity’s lawyers…especially once they have all that nice runtime money to spend. 😒

The income of the top 1% alone – households making more than $550,000 – was linked to 15% to 17% of this pollution.

The report also identified “super-emitters.” They are almost exclusively among the wealthiest top 0.1% of Americans, concentrated in industries such as finance, insurance and mining, and produce around 3,000 tons of carbon pollution a year. To put that in perspective, it’s estimated people should limit their carbon footprint to around 2.3 tons a year to tackle climate change.
