I just picked up reading again recently, so I have compiled a huge list of books to read. I watched the expanse, so probably want to get through my list before I think about reading the book series. Maybe the others seasons will be renewed by then.

Slowly? I paid $80 for an annual plan last year. If it's $14/month, it'll be 170.

Ah thanks! I'll look into that.

I bought some really nice watch off Temu for $12 and it lasts days. I didn't know if id wear a smartwatch, so i started with that. It's lasts probably 5-7days. I've heard a lot of great reviews on garmins compared to Samsung, pixel, etc. I don't care about all the fancy stuff, just want the time, steps, and texts.

Yep same here! Still check reddit for certain things but dropped it significantly and started reading again.

Did you FIRE and calculate wrong or had a bad few economic years?

I assume the dev didn't just make the app and think he can just retire, it was just one income stream for other stuff they develop and sell, but point taken.

My question is, what costs are associated with it? The app was essentially built, the dev needed to make some changes and link to the new API which should be free now? Generally curious, because I previously paid $3 for the pro app on Reddit.

Does the connect app have comment navigation to jump to parent comments? I couldn't find it for weeks and I'm now using sync because it's so polished.

Is that available yet, or he's developing it? Or you have to pay ultra?

Edit: nevermind, found it on the sidebar not under settings.

I paid for the sync app on Reddit back when it was like $2 or 5. I'm not paying $99 to remove ads. I know there are dev costs, but there aren't any API costs here right?

I'll still use Sync here until I see what Boost brings over it's released.

Can I read drm free books on a Kindle?

Loved PHM and was excited to see his other books but might skip Artemis from the comments I've read.

Did you watch the show? I just finished and now want to start the books from the beginning so I can get the full series, but it's going to be a very long read.

Doesn't the insurance have an onus in understanding of cost of repairs to vehicles they cover? How can they only offer$1600?

Also, I thought Tesla and others were also looking at these unibody designs for manufacturing purposes.

The northern most part of Brazil is closer to Canada than it is to the southern most part of Brazil.

Source on the first world countries being down for years?

I fully agree. I went a few weeks without reddit but decided I don't need to be some noble reddit crusader. I downloaded the reddit app yesterday to visit once a day to check some major subs that I enjoyed and aren't developed here (fantasy football, bourbon, etc). I still spend 90% of my time here, less than 5 or 10 minutes a day on reddit.

The new jerboa is a huge step up for me. Swiping to get back to the front page, and comment arrows to jump to level comments. Will use it until sync or boost hits.

I still visit reddit maybe once a day for 10 minutes for niche subs or communities that aren't built up here. If those communities develop here, I will fully cut out reddit.

Edit: also when noting that I use Lemmy amount 90% of the time now, but my overall usage of Lemmy/reddit has gone down. Probably for the better, because I started reading again.
