. . . but sometimes I just trail off . . .

Looks like ebooks purchased from Google Play Store still use crackable Adobe DRM. I’d prefer to buy from ebooks.com, but I refuse to be confined to one app or device by fucking DRM. I don’t like giving money to Google, but if you have GrapheneOS you’re already forking out big bucks to them for a Pixel phone, though hopefully in the future it’ll be able to run on Motorola . . .
There’s this, but anyone know where I can get Thorium 3.10?
EDIT: Was hoping for Calibre plugin(s) . . .
EDIT EDIT: Tried this without success:
Mrs. Erinaceus thanks you for this 🌈👍🏻

This is great! And it’s been around since June of last year! How did I miss this? Think it might be because I should’ve searched for “block” rather than “tetris” on F-Droid.
To answer my own question, there’s KashCal, but I’m not sure I want to share my email password with another app . . .
Actually, you can use Signal for this, if you have it on both your phone and laptop, and use “note to self.” I prefer this because it’s very straightforward and isn’t bogged down with a lot of extraneous extra features that other notetaking apps I’ve tried tend to have.
Yeah, same here. I occasionally I need it to get OTP codes to log into banking sites and whatnot, and it’d be nice not to have to go hunting around for my phone if I don’t have it handy.
I’ve been using Librera, does anyone know if its bookmarks/reading progress can be sync’d to desktop?
I think you can make the font bigger in the settings.
Don’t mean to pour cold water on this, but wasn’t there some issue with FUTO that @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml warned us about? Might be thinking of the wrong thing, getting old here . . . 👴
I see Qobuz on there. IMHO, Bandcamp should be your first stop when buying music. If it’s not on bandcamp, Qobuz seems to have just about everything else, more or less, that someone might want. I’ve complained about them in the past for making me download my purchases one track at a time, which can be pretty annoying if you’re buying a super-duper-deluxe version of an album, but, I am pleased to say, they no longer do this; you can download the complete albums you’ve purchased in a zip file. But only once. Stuff can disappear for annoying rights reasons, and I think they even say, once you buy your music download it immediately, because it may not be there on a subsequent visit.
I do indeed use apt. I think that all of those are bona fide dependencies! I believe there was also a “recommended” part which listed a few other things that I didn’t install. sudo apt autoremove should remove unneeded stuff, I believe, but doing it just now, it didn’t find anything.
Just saw this, Android 2 Linux Notifications on F-Droid, anyone tried it yet? The question for my purposes, of course, will be whether or not it will show the content of the notifications, which I’ll need for 2FA codes. Might just give it a try . . .
I find the KDE Connect display to be a bit clunky, but if you’re on Cinnamon there are two applets which help to smooth out the experience a bit.
Ok, looks like messages deleted on the phone don’t survive a laptop reboot, and undeleted messages do survive a laptop reboot. 👍
Got it up and running. Is there any way to delete SMS messages from the desktop? Even if I delete the messages from my phone they remain on the desktop.
May I suggest Master PDF Editor? It’s proprietary, and I think you may need to pay for some of the features, but I’ve used it for years and have generally been pretty happy with it. An open source alternative that I’m not as familiar with is PDF4QT, which is still a bit rough around the edges last time I checked.
As far as Wine goes, I have never gotten it to work with any Adobe product, ever, period. If you really need to use Adobe stuff, I suggest using it from a Virtual Machine with Windows.
