I've been thinking lately that if Nixon hadn't been pardoned, we never would have been here today.

What, me worry?

Use Kindle as an Epub Reader? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

How about using Apple's "Book" app on a Mac?

Use Kindle as an Epub Reader? (lemmy.world)
 

If you obtain a book on the High Seas, is it safe to use Kindle as the Epub reader? Would it phone home to Amazon that you have an "otherwise obtained" book?

When the child killer knocks on the door and asks where the kids are, you don't tell him the truth.

I've seen speculation that Turkey will get F-16s in return.

Looking forward to seeing Orban cornered.

FYI, I saw another comment today that @L4s@lemmy.world does NOT (yet) identify/label itself as a bot. So, blocking bots in settings wouldn't kill this one (haven't checked myself).

I've been using Clipgrab (macOS) to download music (mp3s) from YouTube. I've seen some mentions that the quality (real bitrate as opposed to what the file states) is bad to begin with on YouTube and that downloaders might make it worse. How bad is the quality of what I'm downloading? Any better downloaders or does the quality suck to begin with?

Thank you for this. I'd upvote you, but you've already taken care of that.

And that bot is blocked by me now. Any other bots doing similar work for Skynet?

What words do we perceive as negative or positive in the US? (UK version inside) in c/dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml

My European colleagues would always use the word "coloborate" in a positive way. It only reminded me of collaboration during WW2.

Glad it focused on "your kids." My ex found I was replaceable, particularly with the court ordered checks still coming in...
