Wow!
Wow!
Do it! You have my support (which isn’t worth much, but hey!).
love it!
You could even incorporate the (route through the) city in the story…
Loved both Olli Olli games on the Vita. Fun times.
Is it really dead? I used a mirror just yesterday…
I’ve had that app for ages. And I only use F-Droid…
So… is it any.good?
maybe because there are way more old people on here… ^^
I use Book Reader (it’s on F-Droid) for my phone, which works well enough… don’t know how it performs on a tablet or if it has the features you’re looking for.
I would wholeheartedly recommend a dedicated e-reader with E-Ink display for more ‘serious’ reading (I have a Tolino for the evenings/bed. Depending on where you are located you could also look into PocketBooks or Kobos… just make sure they’re not chaining you to a closed ecosystem like Kindles).
And thus: internet café… or internet bar?
This post is pretty spot on.
Actually the public libraries I know have long abandoned the concept of enforced silence (and librarians ‘suggesting’ what the patrons should and shouldn’t read).
They already have different areas for different needs. And often a café close by or integrated (at least in larger cities). In fact the opening hours are most likely the main reason people don’t socialise there in the (late) evenings.
Actually there have been several instances where staff members forgot to lock the entry and libraries have been used outside of their opening hours - without any supervision - and the cool part is that nothing has been vandalized or stolen. Kind of like when libraries abandoned fees for overdue media and the number of returned stuff (in time and long overdue) increased significantly. Libraries have a more central position in our culture than most people realize, they only need to adapt to the times and (re)gain some respect of the public. As institutions they might be more needed than they have been in a long time (providing also reliable information, helping to gain (information) literacy and so on).
True, that is what the concept has become. But we need to remember that “third place” originally ment places of business like pubs, cafés, barbershops etc.
Modern cities do need the kind of places you ment - not more malls or apple stores (think I read that it’s a new trend to have those resemble places you can casually chill so they can casually sell you their stuff).
How is this not a Rickroll?
Mind blown!
Oh, sorry to hear that. DS9 gets pretty good later on - especially the “middle” is great, testing out the limits of the world/starfleet ethics. I think it’s my favorite trek… (second being TNG, watched that growing up). Maybe give DS9 another chance and just jump in somewhere after Season 1…
Yup, I’ve been thinking along those lines as well. I can’t believe that every manufacturer is doing their own standards again…
Thanks! Helpful for me, I’m really not into trailers blasting from my speakers when I browse (on my 360 lol).
I can’t believe these are the times we live in. The services of the Internet Archive are invaluable for scholars and students alike. No library can afford all the printed books/journals or licenses needed for an adequate approach to most topics. And to be honest, shadow libraries are also much needed when publishers lock away vital knowledge (which was often gained through support from public grants).
This seems just another example of how capitalism will bring about the downfall of our civilization as it hinders the progress of science.
Nice. Waiting for the Vita port!
