Finally, a church that’s in the news for doing something GOOD.

Rent-seeking can fuck right off.

I love Libby! I listen to audiobooks with it all the time.

Other fun library facts:

• If you don’t like leaving the house, lots of libraries let you sign up for a card online
• In addition to books, they usually have ebooks and audiobooks online, as well as DVDs and CDs at your local branch
• You should visit your local library and see if they have other things…some have video games, or kitchen/cooking equipment, there are often classes or presentations, all free

Right you are, updated accordingly. Thanks for the tip.

Oh yeah, my bad for not including what it’s about. I’ll edit that back into the post.

What’s a Nazi’s favorite color smoke?

It’s so they can track you better. If you’re in the US and using a Chromium based browser, so long as you don’t view “adult content” they usually don’t pop this up. But they can’t track in Firefox, and because of GDPR, they can’t track logged-out users in the EU, so it’s all about the money. I use Vivaldi and a VPN to watch youtube, works mostly fine.

EDIT: Well never-fucking-mind…this strategy has worked for me without fail for a lonnnnng time, and today they got me…same day the pulled uBlock origin from the Chrome store…dicks.

Off-topic, just want to say that I love that your name is cows are underrated, with a picture of a cow…way to be!

I’ve flirted with Linux off and on for 20 years, but MS forcing everyone to Win 11, stuffed with spyware, is the end of the road for me. Now on Linux full time. Linux isn’t about to take over the desktop, but I can see Windows shedding a couple million users a year as enshittification continues.

I also leaned there are still ska bands in 2025.

Every Texan I know has a generator to deal with the unreliability of the grid, and there’s never been an article about someone in Iowa getting a surprise $100k electric bill…and the average wage in Texas is substantially lower than in “left wing” states like California or Washington…so not sure you’re making an apples-to-apples comparison, but time will be the judge, we can all check-in in a year and see how this plays out. Does Lemmy have a remind me! bot?
