First, I love characters that are regularly puzzled by human beings / being human:
Spock
Data
Odo
The Doctor
Seven of Nine
Saru

Second, I love strong female characters:
Katherine Pulaski
Kira Nerys
Kathryn Janeway!!!
SNW Uhura
SNW Chapel

Third, I love queer characters:
Guinan
Garak
Jadzia Dax
Adira and Gray

I might have forgotten an awfull lot of equally amiable characters, which doesn’t mean that I don’t love them.

“Tao: The Watercourse Way” by Alan Watts

“Walden” by Henry David Thoreau

“A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf

My longtime favs (apart from LOTR by Tolkien) are:

1. The Realm of the Elderlings series bei Robin Hobb
2. Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams
3. Ea Cycle by David Zindell

Replicator. First things first.

I found an interesting position there. But there seems to be no discription of the job itself, just of the company. That’s odd.

I almost always switch to Roboto as soon as I open a new ebook.

I have the Touch Lux 5 and it is not so much about features, but about the price/performace ratio and the independence from format. No stylus though.

I second Pocketbook.

The Ea-Cycle series by David Zindell.

I would have enjoyed a TLDR section.

I’m not a huge fan of managing in general, therefore my answer might disappoint you: I use Calibre and my columns are restricted to title, author(s), and tags. Once in a while I make a backup . On my ebook reader (a Pocketbook) all ebooks are stored on a SD card, no folders. A new ebook is send to the reader by mail, moved from internal storage to SD card and then imported to Calibre.

Shoshana Zuboff’s “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” - way too narcisstic for my liking.

Disclaimer: I’m a huge fan of multipart series. My current favourites are:

Fantasy: “The Realm of the Elderlings” by Robin Hobb

SF: “Manifold” Trilogy by Stephen Baxter

Both works are epic beyond measure, full of incredible ideas, and a joy to read (at least for me that is).

Most likely IT has restricted MFA to MS Authenticator. I don’t know if there is a workaround or if you should use it if there was. But I can totally understand you. Having no choice sucks.

No wasting here IMO ;-)

I had a similiar issue (IMO due to the short and diverting nature of social media).

I decided to read a little bit every evening. In the beginning I skipped a lot of evenings, did a lot of book hopping and, never finished a book either. I also struggled with reading a longer time at a stretch or even whole chapters. But eventually I got better.

In my case I had to learn again to immerse myself in something that doesn’t reward me after five seconds, but after 15 minutes or longer.

I heard about it. However, I find the need to reinstall all apps via Obtainium quite painstaking and thus haven’t done so yet. It doesn’t provide auto updates either.

I like both games for what they are. Though I have already forgotten how TotK began, I still remember the moment when I left the shrine of resurrection in BotW. That open world (moment) was incredible. TotK on the other side has a bit more of the original Zelda charme regarding dungeons and the like and I really do love the temples. I am not so keen for the crafting part, but than I just don’t spend too much time on it.

IMO it isn’t so much about knowing who you are, but where you are, what you do, what you like etc. From that they (e.g. G👀gle) will extrapolate a profile and do whatever they want with it - faked data or not.

Furthermore Fitbit belongs to Google. I wouldn’t use a Google product if I was concerned about privacy.
