Nowadays I'm practically using plexamp far more often than I watch my own video content on Plex. I started using Plex for music about 6 months ago and plexamp has been such a powerhouse of a music app in ways I never expected. I really appreciate the specific DJs they give you with sonic analysis. I've realized it's also made me...
The way Reddit has handled this has been so disappointing. Aaron Swartz been rolling over but man look what Reddit has become. I believe now more than ever that any site that revolves around a community should be in the hands of said community and not corporations or else this eventually happens. Corporations need to produce profit to survive but when we're talking spaces for open discussion that more often than not works against the very community that makes up the content.
I'm still on Goodreads but it's so slow, the app's just an even slower webview of the site and the redesign has made me have to click more to do what I want....
I just started using Bookwyrm. Not the best app ever but it's federated and relatively new, so I'm giving it time. My wife uses Goodreads with her friends but I don't want to support Amazon any more than I already do.
Myself personally I get most of my reading done on my 45 minute commute to work on the bus/train. I also enjoy reading in the mornings on weekends and occasionally in the evening on weekdays....
I'm just re-discovering the 2015 Kindle paper white I bought years ago and had stopped using...because overall I had started reading less. I'm using it with a new appreciation for how great of a form factor it is for my hands + a pop socket. Carry it with me everywhere, tucks into my jacket pocket or backpack when I'm heading to...
I'm enjoying it, but I'll say that how to do nothing is a better book IMO. I actively recommend that to people. So far I don't think I'd tell someone to read how to save time unless they're already interested in the philosophy/ideas being expressed on consumerism and the relationship of socioeconomic class to how time is spent working, or they just really loved how to do nothing.
So with that if you're not already reading it I recommend the new book- my main criticism thus far is that it feels less focused than the prior book was. I think she was going for a non-linear approach as a metaphor for how time isn't necessarily linear, but something about that doesn't work well here and makes her points harder to retain and follow/connect. Or maybe that's just me. I could see myself rereading both books in the future though.
Anyone else using plexamp?
