Help extracting kindle books

  • Couldn't have said it better myself. I used plex for free for the better part of a decade. Bought lifetime when a raise was coming and it was still $140 (kicking myself because at one point with a sale I was looking at something like $45).

    I've used plex pass enough, and it's my main driver for all our entertainment outside of music and audiobooks that if they asked for some more money, I wouldn't care so much.

    The ease of use, the UI, and remote access without having to jump through a bunch of hoops is worth it.

    No shade to Jellyfin, but it's not nearly as dumb dumb friendly.

  • I try to use Foss but only when it's a lateral move. I tried Linux mint. It came close but there were so many little things that just didn't make sense to me as someone who used windows for the last 25 years. Do I want to use Windows 11? No, especially with everything they've been doing to it. But in terms of usability, the sacrifices that I make by using Windows 11 outweigh the extra work, frustration, and time spent trying to figure out Linux (tried 3 different distros too).

    I have 3 little kids, a full time job and aging parents. I don't have hours every day to try and make stuff work.

  • Here's the thing though, for the average plex user (myself included) you've already used too many acronyms and words I don't understand. Plex serves a purpose for a lot of people, people who are even willing to pay for it to be easy.

    Kind of reminds me of Netflix before anyone else did streaming. They had so much stuff I stopped sailing.

  • As a Canadian, we've had the attitude for awhile "at least we're not as bad as the USA" but we've definitely drifted from the EU way of doing things. I've always felt like a hybrid between the two (with leanings more to eu).

    I wish as Canadians, instead of looking over the fence and patting ourselves on the back for not being the USA, we'd look over the fence and try to see what we can do to improve more (because why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to).

  • Not murder, but I'll be damned if as a teacher and parent kids aren't wackier during the full moon.

    Also, sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity. Who ever doesn't think that can teach for me on Halloween

  • I also liked this book. As an aside, you might like "A Psalm for the Wild Built". It's VERY similar in vibe, not fantasy though. Hard to say sci-fi as it doesn't feel super futuristic other than sentient robots that have disappeared.

    I'll leave it there but it was the same relaxed vibes of L&L.

  • Had this happen to me. Live Clean shampoo and conditioner is my go to because I thought it was Canadian. At some point in my loyalty to the brand (dating back well before this timeline...) it was sold to a Belgium holding company.

    But better there than US.
