I've learned recently at my new job that ePubs are just a giant zip file of html, css, etc. Sometimes you need to rezip them if they are not working quite right and I imagine that is what converting them from ePub to ePub is doing.

> (a) work is effectively infinite and (b) the things worth doing or seeing exceed the capacity of a human life.

These are some of the main ideas in the book 4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. I think it is one of those rare self help books that are actually worth a read.

This is a great self realisation. I started to stop working after 6. It's been a pretty hard change, but feels amazing.

The title of this article really captures the feeling I had when I decided to ditch my iPhone. My mobile device was the last piece of tech that I owned that did not truly feel like I owned it. I've recently switched to an original Pixel running LineageOS. There are only a handful of pain points for me that make the switch difficult, most notably navigation. The feeling of actually having control of my device seems to be worth it so far.

Lately I have been doing my best to limit my "optional" screen time (optional meaning anything that is not for work and school). I fingered though Cal Newport's "Digital minimalism" [1] about a month and a half ago and decided to try out the 30 days tech fast in the book. The idea is to use this time to reset your relationship with tech and to really figure out what you value and what you are trying to accomplish with your tech habits. If other people are like me and struggle with compulsiveness with using the internet and computers, I recommend giving it a shot.

Thanks.

Just ordered this book. I had to recently delete my Reddit account as I found myself getting drawn into needless arguments.

Don't get me wrong, occasionally I would have fun learning new things, but like all other social media it turns into angry people yelling.

Aside from Reddit I have been Social Media / Online Dating free for just under 2 years.

It's amazing how much mental energy I would waste on this stuff. No judgement to people who enjoy social media, but it cutting it boosted my emotional health by leaps and bounds.

More time for making music !

How much experience do you have in OS dev before you jumped into this project?

I started a recurring donation through your link. Thanks for posting this.

I think add-ons only work on Android though, not iOS.

iOS has native Content Blockers though, so it’s not as bad, and actually quite battery-efficient!

It's not the worse thing to monetize. They started releasing skins, announcers, etc for players to purchase.

Does anyone have a good alternative to Google Maps? I recently purchased a Nexus 5X and installed LineagosOS with no Google Services. The one thing that I am having trouble with is finding a good navigation application.
