Like Russia, North Korea, Iran or China? In that case we need to hold accountable the head of the company promoting these sort of posts. Musk.

Not all heroes wear capes.

You’re doing good work there, keep it up 😉

The title didn’t say your post had to involve food.

Here in Hertfordshire UK, I use BorrowBox on my phone S23 or an older Samsung tablet I use an an e-reader.

It’s linked to my local library (Ware) but not the best selection. My biggest gripe is that they’ll only have a couple of books from most of the series out there.

You’ll get book 1 or book 3, but hey, I’m not (directly) paying for them so it’s not the worst thing.

Is it just me or does that guy look like Jon Snow?

Needs more Tolkein!

‘only 300Mbps’

Cries in 45Mbps

Use it daily - phone set to turn on VPN when I leave home. Occasionally use it indoors. No probs - not much difference in speed.
Can use default (fastest) server or take you pick from quite a few choices - again not much speed difference.

YMMV

Government should not be using it whatsoever and any employees using it face disciplinary action.

Radio Paradise have a few streams. Personal favourites are the Rock Mix and for lounging around, reading etc. the Mellow Mix. If you want something a little different then the Global Mix might suit you.
For general day to day listening then the Main Mix covers just about everything. For me personally, I find there’s too much Beatles and Reggae. I can’t stand them. But YMMV.

Although Spotify has some excellent prog playlists, that sodding AI thing pisses me right off (although there may be a way to get rid of that, I’ve got to try it out) I have Amazon Prime so their music service is a bit of a no brainer as it’s cheaper. Not sure if I can tell the difference in audio quality. At 67 and a lifetime of British Army (I was in the Artillery man, play it LOUD!) and working with rock bands, my ears are probably not up to the finer points.
For rock and prog 24/7 then Morow is your friend.

Glad it’s not just me ;-)

Upvote for the use of the word turgid.

But yes it is. I found that to be the case with the Foundation series as well. I read them when I was younger - perhaps I skimmed them, or I’m just getting picky as I get older.

I get what you mean, we all have different requirements, didn’t expect Brave, though. It’s getting a lot of flak lately.

Thanks anyway; -)

What would you recommend instead of Firefox?

You made the post so I didn’t have to!

The sysadmin managed to utter as the plane smashed into the Earth, ‘I use Arch by the way’.

With no phone/tablet/laptop how are you going to look at them?
Print them out and/or memorise (as much as you can) them.

This is the way.

Rivers Of London series just gets better and better.

I loved Peppermint. Has it been updated/does it work?
Used to use it but it crapped out on me and last couple of versions haven’t worked or had printer issues.
