Correct, that’s Temu.

WTF are you buying from Temu? Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer actual products, not literal garbage.

As someone who has received a blood transfusion, thank you random stranger whose blood is now inside me!

I want to “give back” somehow, but I obviously can’t donate blood (yet?).

Bender: I’m very generous! What about that time I gave blood?

Fry: Whose blood?

Bender: Some guy’s.

Note-taking app. Each note is a markdown file, so you can add formatting.

I usually play my Switch in the bath :⁠-⁠)

They’d have to do something really crazy to have me pick Amazon over GOG!

Same here, except I haven’t touched my tablet in years.

Thanks for asking this, that question made me go look it up.

I found https://bookshop.org/info/ebooks

I thought you could load bookshop.org eBooks onto a Kindle, but it seems they have their own DRM and you need to use their own app…

Some of their books are DRM free, but not all. I thought they all were, but it turns out I was wrong.

So… maybe even bookshop.org isn’t the best option for Kindles.

I guess there really is only one option left…

To all the people who are saying “I’ll just pirate books,” you are aware you can buy eBooks from places that aren’t Amazon, right?

Have a look at https://bookshop.org/ebooks You can buy books/eBooks and support local bookstores that aren’t Barnes & Nobles or Amazon.

I’d suggest you download/archive your Kindle books and then buy your eBooks from elsewhere. You can still load those onto your Kindle.

Saying “I’m going to pirate because one specific website is changing its policy soon,” is pretty stupid.

EDIT: Turns out I was wrong about bookshop.org, you actually can’t load their eBooks into a Kindle. You need their app since they have their own DRM. Looks like I got all worked up about something without looking it up first.

There’s no thought in our government, so they’re already messing that one up. Also, it’s just the president who cares (and I guess some people who voted for him).

I’d imagine a majority of people here aren’t calling it the new name (or even know the name changed).

I live in the US and I won’t recognize the name either.

What’s Bing? /s

I’m slowly moving away from Gmail and Google Docs/Drive, but in the meantime entering this into uBlock Origin seems to help:

He has 12 kids, I think…

I’m just reminded of the episode of Fairly OddParents where Timmy wished for a lawyer to write up his wish for the genie.

This might be doing something for me

I also had to wonder if it’s real. Since when has Elon ever been a father to any of his kids? I find it hard to believe that he would ever appear in a picture with his children.

Salads are only for murders! Cole slaw’s a fascist regime!

I’VE GOT BALLS OF STEEL!
