@teknonomicon You are very welcome. 😉

I was lucky to find that book in a corner store, bought it since the nice cover got my eye.

And then, delighted on reading and became a huge fan of Neal's books. He's wonderful.

I am fairly new here, joined the fediverse a couple weeks ago, and remember the welcome message from our sys admin. So I try and greet our new members too.

Have a good day! 🌄

@MRK Hello!

I can't help with the legal question, not in the area and it does vary a lot depending on the jurisdiction you are in.

Welcome to Qoto, enjoy your stay.

Have you seen the nice mastodon user guide here? https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

@freemo I do like him, think he brought a much needed breath of fresh air to the very strange political party scene in the US.

And I would rather have an active and leading government than a minimalist one with the lowest possible cost in taxes to the upper economic classes.

#FDR was awesome.

@teknonomicon Hello, and welcome.

Looking at your profile, it seems you found the right place to be. 😺

Your user name reminds me of one of my favourite books - Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson. Great read.

Enjoy your stay!

@girishmakwana Hello Makwana, and welcome to Qoto.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

Have a good day! :smile:

@realcaseyrollins Ah, cool, thanks for mentioning it. Got to read the page, but tomorrow as it's getting late.

Good night, Casey!

@realcaseyrollins lightweight and Chrome on the same sentence, that is surprising. 😜

I avoid chrome itself beacuse it's Google, and the chromium variants because they use so much resources.

Watefox now has two versions, a Classic and a Current, which is on par with FF 68. This is the one I am using, and it's very fast and light.

You wouldn't believe how many tabs I have open when I am working here. Zillions.

And only using this much RAM:

@realcaseyrollins @dissenterbrowser

Oh, I see. Have you seen Waterfox?

It's a fork of Firefox, with a lot of telemetry removed. I Like it!

@realcaseyrollins Ho about some Goth Crocs ?

@realcaseyrollins Did you try clicking on it? It might be paused.

Mobile or full computer browser?

@realcaseyrollins People consuming and aspiring for those brands is so silly.
😞

The Gucci thingie, I mean.

Your Nikes are important to you, enjoy them! 😄

@realcaseyrollins Ah, I see! 😜

Glad you are not the kind who pays that kind of price.

@realcaseyrollins On my experience, they showed up as raw scans, without any polishing, formating of chapter titles, content links, etc.

I have prefered to look for other sources if available, but if there aren't, well. 😉

C'est la vie.

@realcaseyrollins @georgia

Feedbooks also has some free, Public Domain books. FBreader has it on as a library source also.

http://www.feedbooks.com/publicdomain

The number on the columns on the left in the image are some of the available free ones.

@realcaseyrollins Seriously, USD$456 for a pair of sneakers? 😱

@realcaseyrollins The book formatting at Gutenberg Project is always very basic. 😔

Both ManyBooks.net and Feedbooks have much nicer formatted versions.

Feedbooks has some free, some paid eBooks.

@georgia I can access the site directly from my ebook reader app -- FBReader, which is available in iOS, Android or Mac OSX versions.

File -- Library -- one of the available ones is ManyBooks.net.

Search, find, download, ready to read in no time.
