I got it from the zlibrary main site where they have the browser addons etc

Sorry no clue the app doesn't show urls but has always got me there. I do know there's a reddit sub for the site it would probably be easy to find there.

One thing I think Z-Library really did right is making an onion site and their own apps to find the site (I presume these have some tor ability built in as well I might be wrong though) .

I'd like to see more sites doing the same kind of thing.

Tried them only once, not a fan might be the worst beer I've tasted. To be fair though it was only one of a few options of theirs and I might have picked the worst one maybe.

To be honest I'd go as far back as XP and say that was fine, 7 was also but I've never liked the start menu etc since and the forced updates really just wind me up.

I'm on 14 but to be honest the only difference I really noticed is GTA Vice City got broken by it I presume it will never be fixed since they seem to have done another version.

So yeah it's really only taught me not to buy apps again I'm not a fan of the restricted folder/file manager restrictions either.

I do but not an open source one. Basically just use Google's with rcs disabled because for me the rcs messages only resulted in me getting a could not be delivered message 3 or so days later (I'm in the UK I hear it actually works elsewhere but yeah I've never sent one that actually delivered). I think it's a common thing here as I've had to disable rcs on several relatives phones because their messages didn't deliver at all and that's most of the main phone networks

To be honest though I do use Signal more than Sms but it would be silly not to have it all on a phone.

Yeah this articles the first I've heard myself of blue light being unhealthy. I've always fancied some glasses that block it like gunnar glasses or something if nothing else it's helped me justify that purchase..

And yeah to me it's pretty set in stone blue light wakes you up.

I'd argue that's more down to the talent of the players then his actual decisions though.

I'm convinced he only plays for draws really and I've noticed him subbing people who dared make a run up field when things are even.

Could be I'm wrong but I don't think many of his decisions could be explained in any other way than pure panic when a goal down and immediately going back to turtling if it gets even again. It's a horrible style for a team that's mostly attacking talent.

As someone who worked nightshift for 18 years I really think it does at least help sleep wise. I blocked Blue light a few hours before I want to sleep and when waking I'd use a sad/sun light when waking up.

I don't do it now but I'm convinced that's one of the reasons I managed it for so long.

Basically I'm saying blue light wakes you up and helps set your body clock but avoiding blue light for a while helps you sleep. I was never aware of any claims blue light is unhealthy but I guess it makes sense as you could argue the sun itself is bad for you.

I don't use one but if I did want an open source one I think I'd give the fossify tools a look.

Basically they forked all the Simple mobile apps when some dodgy company bought them so I'm pretty sure all the fossify forks are safe.

I use their gallery app with no issue.

I'm Suprised people don't just paint everything white in really hot countries. I've always felt that would probably help a lot.

True it would probably look bad a lot quicker.

I mean everyone must have done something they aren't super proud off.

As an example during primary school we had a class trip to the lake district (I'm from N Ireland) we were staying in an old victoriana style mansion (Rydal hall if I've remembered right.)

Anyway every one of us kids staying there decided it was haunted immediately and the guy I had to share a room with was so scared he made himself a crucifix out of basically twigs and strings.

I'm not sure why I did it but while he was sleeping I broke his crucifix apart and then put joke shop blood all over it. I woke up to him, crying this eyes out and just decided never to admit it was a joke or me who did it.

I'm interested in Similar stories.

Basically I'm really missing the edit post option it was available on my previous client (voyager) so I think it's possible.

Right now I make posts and realise in my probably drunken state I've made a spelling mistake and my only option is to delete the post at the point the app kicks me out of the thread and the post seems to be blocked from ever finding it again.

The edit button would let me fix my idiotic errors and not get kicked from the post I was actually trying to reply to.

Also I don't get why connect kicks you from the thread just because you delete a post and why it's impossible to find that post again that doesn't make any sense to me.
