I loved Pretty Good Music Player and am since then looking for a good FOSS folder based player. For now I’m using Foldplay.

Love your PC hardware piece for a bookmark!

My fav is more than 30 years old and has been through many wonderfull books with me. It is made of leather and shows a hedgehog under a starry sky.

“Burn Book” by Kara Swisher A book about Big Tech and Tech Giants by the one journalist, who followed the development in Silicon Valley from the beginning. So far I like it very much. Swisher is still convinced, that tech (companies) can make this place a better world, if it wasn’t for the irresponsibility of its owners. It’s comforting to see her love for tech, her frustration with company leaders, and her firm belief, that it might still work out somehow. I’m curious, how it will go on and what she thinks might help getting tech back on track.

Unfortunately I can’t use the app for my public transport ticket because it doesn’t support .pkpass files.

Thx for pointing out and enjoy.

Yeah, sure looks like a fork of FairMail and that GUI was always irritating me. I’ll stick with K9.

• “The Neverending Story” by Michael Ende as a kid
• “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien as a teen
• “The Realm of the Elderlings” by Robin Hobb
• “The Ea Cycle” by David Zindell
• “The Manifold Trilogy” by Stephen Baxter

These books’ worlds absorbed me so completely in the most positive way!

Though I must admit I’m a fan of rereading anyway. Don’t know how many unknown books I skipped for a reread of know ones. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“Tao: The Watercourse Way” by Alan Watts

“Walden” by Henry David Thoreau

“A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf

My longtime favs (apart from LOTR by Tolkien) are:

1. The Realm of the Elderlings series bei Robin Hobb
2. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams
3. Ea Cycle by David Zindell

I almost always switch to Roboto as soon as I open a new ebook.

I second Pocketbook.

I’m using FOSS app Element for Android.

IMO it isn’t so much about knowing who you are, but where you are, what you do, what you like etc. From that they (e.g. G👀gle) will extrapolate a profile and do whatever they want with it - faked data or not.

Furthermore Fitbit belongs to Google. I wouldn’t use a Google product if I was concerned about privacy.
