I read a mix of ebooks and physical books. Usually the choice is determined by the type of book. For example, usually more genre fiction gets an ebook, whereas more so called "literary fiction" gets a physical copy.

For example I've picked up House of Leaves at a local independent bookstore, along with the Molloy books by Beckett and the Norton Annotated Moby Dick. I don't think house of leaves would work at all as an ebook and heavily annotated items I prefer a physical copy.

Alas I am running out of bookshelf space so I have to be much more selective these days. As for finding books, it's usually word of mouth or on storygraph. I also follow the book youtube Leaf by Leaf whom I can thoroughly recommend.

The ebooks I prefer on eink devices, for portability I have a Kobo and for notetaking or needing a bigger screen I have a supernote A5X

A year or so ago, Capture One hinted at having a linux version, but they've since deleted the comments suggesting that "something was in the works". If they did, they'd have a monopoly in the linux-space for photo editing I think. Darktable is great FOSS software, but it does have a learning curve.

Plus Geeko is the cutest mascot!

I dual boot OpenSuse and Windows. Windows being the main installation. I think I may try to go full AMD next build and main OpenSuse the main installation. I just need to get used to DarkTable instead of Lightroom since thats been the only think shackling me to Windows thus far.

Hey everybody!

Even though I select "All" as my default type, it doesn't seem to populate anything after the second page of results? But if I click on "all" manually, I get all the pages. Otherwise, I'm just discovering things still, and exploring - which is fun!

For my watch history, I think https://kitsu.io/users/DiscoShrew is mostly up to date.

Though not being too old myself, I do gravitate towards older shows. My introduction to anime in general was through the Toonami programming block. Specifically Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho. Naturally, my introduction to manga was Shounen Jump and Shojo Beat. (I'm still waiting for Nana to be finished! More than ten years later...)

I have a love for the earlier Gundam shows though holding that 08th MS Team may be my favorite. I love the beauty found in hand drawn anime, and much prefer it to the CGI stuff of today in most cases, though I'm not totally a luddite.

hear hear! I echo the appreciation for anything hand drawn and with Sels. One of my favorite anime, Legends of the Galactic Heroes - is beautifully rendered. (same with Rose of Versailles and many others of that era, Vampire Hunter D too!). I've been trying to find a production cell from them for ages, either that or Serial Experiments Lain.

Super cool that you could get a job in an industry you love and can appreciate.

Also, is it intentionally spelled aniime, or was that a typo in the forums name? Just curious
