Maybe an old gas station with a new purpose

And I still end up doing it wrong

Ist das nur mein Eindruck, oder sind im deutschsprachigen Lemmy alle wortwitzbegeistert?

Ich feier das jedenfalls

Gutenberg ist super, hat aber leider auch so manches schlecht formattiertes ebook. Bei standard ebooks gibt es qualitativ hochwertige Versionen. Allerdings nur englische.

Wow, you're right. Teams is not fully supported. Apparently Video and Sharing in Meetings is limited. Didn't know that. Well that sucks

I don't know how many normal sites even have a problem with Firefox. I guess only some small, niche web apps, but otherwise most people would see no difference. Even if developers don't explicitly test on Firefox, almost all features will still just work (at least for normie usage). Power users might encounter some challenges, as the post describes.

I use Firefox btw. (not Arch though)

Yeah, it certainly has the flow of stream of consciousness. After a while I got used to it and then, it indeed becomes quite accessible

All right, you got me. I'm gonna have a look at the chapter myself

Yes, that is exactly what Joyce would've wanted!

The atmosphere really sounds amazing. I've never been to Ireland, but if get the opertinity it would be cool to walk through the city on Bloomsday.

I read Ulysses once and not even scratched the surface, but the geography sounds like a interesting topic to dive into. A companion book could be useful, but I guess it would also take a lot more time to get through the read.

If the quotation marks are a stylistic choice than so be it. Makes it harder to read though. The last chapter is missing any kind of punctuation as far as I know, so that has to be a wild ride

MicrosoftChrome.exe sounds like a great name for a virus or something

 

I proudly announce that today is Bloomsday!

Have you ever tried to read Ulysses, or why do you shy away from it? Any hardcore James Joyce enjoyer in this community?

I'll share my story with Ulysses: I have to shamefully admit I never read the original, but only the German translation, which is of course not the Irish experience that Ulysses should be. The next cardinal sin I must confess is that I did not quite read Ulysses but listened to the audiobook. The narrators were great and carried me through without getting bored. I want to read some parts in the original language, and can't quite decide which ones. I have an e-book version from gutenberg, but the quotation marks are missing, which makes me wish that standard ebooks would make an edition.

What are your favorite chapters? I quite like the part with the news articles. It's funny, different, and the narrators of my audiobook did an especially good job with that chapter.
