I feel that choice paralysis a lot. My reading moods fluctuate, so sometimes I want to read one genre or sometimes another, but I also have a massive TBR so I struggle determining what book I should read. I’ve learned to just let myself start something, and if it doesn’t work out, then I can stop and maybe pick it back up later. For instance, I just finished Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence, a book that I had tried to read three times prior. This was the first time my interest stuck, and now I am finishing the trilogy. But getting over that initial hurdle of “what should I read” can be difficult.

lamentforicarus@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives?English1·2 年前There is one for web site developers. You are meant to follow guidelines proposed by the WCAG and ADA.

I don’t know if I have the space for it right now (renter so can’t change the outside too much, plus most of it is not usable), but I’m bookmarking this for if/when I buy a house. I actually might talk to my wife and decide if we should do a small growing bed for tomatoes or peppers.

The thing that gets me are the vegetables. If I want anything fresh, it costs so much more than canned or frozen. Frozen/canned veggies are fine for some meals, but for others they can really taste a bit off. We just moved and I’m hoping there are some good farmer’s markets around where I live now with decent prices (the place I moved from were worse than the grocery store).
lamentforicarus@beehaw.orgto Chat@beehaw.org•How long until Threadiverse is ready for normies?English12·2 年前I’m a normie and I get it. Surely there are more than just the tech people capable of understanding how the system works. It can be a bit confusing at first, but all that is needed is a really good guide explaining how to use the fediverse.
lamentforicarus@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Trump now blames ‘mutants’ for indictment in latest Truth Social rantEnglish11·2 年前Well, X-Men has already been compared to the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community so really they should already be upset at them.
That’s a good idea.
Some of the comments are on a sub that I know specifically did not go dark or private during the protest, so I don’t think it is solely from that. I’m going to do it again with a different program, and I will continue to do it until someone leaves it alone. Right now the reddit admin are on alert, but eventually they’ll stop paying attention.
Just checked my account and all of my posts and comments are back. :[
lamentforicarus@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockersEnglish6·2 年前What really irritates me is that I pay for YouTube TV because it’s the cheapest option out of all “cable-like” plans, and yet I am not allowed any benefits on actual YouTube. It’s ridiculous that I am already paying well over the premium amount so why do I have to watch more ads?
lamentforicarus@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Day 3English19·2 年前I also bet there are people who haven’t already left that will abandon ship once the TPAs stop working. It’s not going to be fun getting stuck with their mediocre app, particularly since they seem to be testing the end of the mobile site.
lamentforicarus@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Day 2English3·2 年前There is only one sub I use that has not attempted to do anything about the API issue. They stickied a post forwarded to an explanation of what is happening in support of the blackout, but it is an important time period for us so no one was going to allow a full shut down. It’s one of the few non-toxic places to discuss our fandom. Beyond that sub, the others don’t matter much to me.

I really want to read Children of Time. I actually did start it and got half way through, but I have such an intense arachnophobia that I had to give up because I kept dreaming of spiders and waking up terrified. I enjoyed his writing style, though, and am curious about his new trilogy coming out.
Someone losing copyright of their book doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to write more. A vast majority of published writers cannot live off of a single book (a lot can’t from multiples). It’s actually incredibly hard to make a living off writing.
