I feel seen.

That’s why I love and have used moon+ reader for years. Lots and lots of options to help fix screwed up formatting. Especially back in the day it seemed like for every 3 “good” books, at least 1 would be janky and I’d need to make adjustments for it to display well on whatever phone I had at the time

There is something special about reading real books. I just wish my life was more stable. Over the years I’ve lost my huge physical book collection that I started as a kid due to a combo of lots of moving and limited space to keep them.

The convenience of digital means I don’t have to suffer that particular loss anymore.

This is the way.

That’s step 2. - They want to get into reading.

Step 1 is to do it the cheapest way possible. Which means either real books or on a device they already have.

Then if they find they enjoy it they can/should start spending some money on hardware/software to enhance the experience.

But there’s no reason for them to spend any money on tech until they know reading recreationally is for them.

When I use/d my phone for reading I always go high contrast - Black background and bright orange text.

Whether LCD or OLED I find that color combo works great for legibility while keeping screen brightness low in the dark (to reduce eye strain) and not having to set brightness as high during the day outdoors (preventing the screen from eating the battery as quickly.)

I’ve used moon+ reader pro for years. Maybe even since it’s release. (Admittedly I don’t use it as much anymore as I prefer eink devices for reading but am stuck with a kindle for now)

The tons of customization options was my biggest draw. plenty of font/layout and color options to help find what works best for you and your device.

I also love and use calibre, but I’m not sure it’s needed by OP at this time. It doesn’t sound like they’ve got a large collection of books so I think it would just be overkill and depending on their tech level might turn them off.

let’s just go back to dial up internet.

I don’t wanna die - I just wanna ride my motorcycle.

Yeah, probably so he can start a similar company and get his piece of the pie.

I mean thats kind of a good thing? And it’s right in the name? Universal Basic

UBI should be enough to comfortably survive - at least enough to cover food and shelter (with associated costs ie electricity/water/heat)

Working a job while on UBI would pay for enrichment type stuff - vacations night at the movies etc.

As it is now working doesn’t guarantee any of the 1st category that UBI should/would cover never mind the 2nd.

If they’re suffering let it end - if they can still maintain a good quality of life let them live… I’m also for human euthanasia.

No matter the amount of love - if the pain is unmanageable or their quality of life is shit let them go.

I wish they would let us do custom words/ sentences.

There’s a few words (I cant think of them now) that i tried that even after gliding multiple times I couldn’t even get the correct word in suggestions.

I would love being able to type them in and then glide them to train.

I feel like orange kitty probably fell off there before 🤣

I thought he had a tiny gun in his hand for a second 🤣.

Your examples are treats and food with at least some nutritional value.

Starbucks fuck if I know what they offer besides overpriced coffee (which I’d classify as a treat) - never been never will.

Places like McDonalds don’t offer anything of actual nutritional value. It’s all fats and salts and sugars. Even their “healthy” options are the equivalent of Vitamin Water.

If you go to a real taco place (not taco bell) it may not be “healthy” healthy, but it’s not garbage either - it’s more of a “neutral” healthyness. You won’t literally die if that’s all you eat.

Both.

I tend to wash the larger stuff by hand so it’s not wasting so much space in the dishwasher.

One more step towards the great firewall.

Get to know my neighbors? C’mon dude no way.

Yeah I feel like not hearing people use “groovy” is more because things aren’t feeling very groovy lately.
