Sometimes. It depends on what I'm reading, but if I do, it's a chill playlist or a game's soundtrack. Music with lyrics is distracting, especially if it's a language I understand, haha. There's also the fact that the mood of the book can change chapter by chapter, and the music may take me out of it or make the experience less enjoyable. Changing the playlist while the story progresses sounds like too much trouble to me, but it may be doable.

When using my computer, I just recently started using fluent reader. The UI is pretty clean and the few keyboard shortcuts fit my limited needs for an RSS reader. It also has filtering, which I guess pretty much all readers have.

When using my phone, I use Read You. The reasons are pretty much the same, simple UI, easy to use, etc.

And some people still don't care at all, or even prefer to be spied on, for some weird reason. Definitely scary.

If the creator of the work holds a patent related to it, even if it's licensed under CC0, they can sue you for infringing on their patent. The article links a good explanation: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/1393

Enough for my browsing needs, haha

Hopefully more officials in other countries will take notice.

It's good to have a statement instead of just ignoring the problem. Especially since they have such a big audience, including many kids who probably don't fully understand how these things work.

I keep talking about the Fediverse as a whole to anyone willing to listen. I may not move the masses, but if I can convince even a couple of my friends to give Lemmy, Mastodon or any other open source federated platform a try, I consider that a win.

Just letting people know Lemmy exists is a contribution to its adoption. It's especially useful to let people know there are alternatives when a big platform has an exodus of users, be it due to poor moderation, a failed acquisition attempt, or any other kind of drama, since that's when they're most willing to migrate permanently.

The fact that every instance is capable of being its full-fledged thing, doesn't mean it has to do so. That's why we have federation. So yeah, federation allows any approach you want, like the one you mention, of having instances that focus in certain topics, but having generalist instances is okay too. The important part is that users from one instance can participate in the communities of other instances.

Either community or sublemmy. But I agree that community is generally better.

Basically, what came before the Steam Deck.
