@nicholas I'm thinking they do.Because they require you to pay attention to the words and follow the script.SO, yes, audio books count. Also Kindle and Epub books, such as the Gutenberg or other downloadable books.

@Ricardus @Professor_Stevens In fact, It made me tear up at the idea that we were so innocent and young once..

@blogdiva It's when the rank and file of the paper walk out in solidarity is when Bezos gets his comeuppance. It might happen.I was one of those who canceled, because there is absolutely no way I'm supporting that. As for Prime, I've never been attracted to it, but I am guilty of buying from Amazon. Too bad it's so easy.

@Ricardus Same here. I'm just not cut out to be fighting the same devils this country has been fighting for over 150 years. Let the young ones find out this. I can't do it any more. 8 years was enough.

@stux I thought it was harder to get a game submitted there.

@stux I've never downloaded from there, so I'm safe. I'm only into GoG, and indie gaming places like Itch.io for games, even when they can be full of crap games, too.

Could someone tell me how Mastodon is 'so confusing to use"?I guess we must be the nerd gods or something to figure out how to work Mastodon.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/nov/23/ive-joined-bluesky-and-it-feels-like-a-breath-of-fresh-air-in-some-waysBut of course most of us cut our teeth on computers to begin with.Bluesky is a sad farce of corporate elitism.

@stux When half the class should have been held back for their crappy grades in history and social studies, and were never taught critical thinking skills, this is what happens.

If you go to Louisiana, get your flu shot because they've outlawed vaccines or their promotion:" Flu surges in Louisiana as health department barred from promoting flu shots "https://arstechnica.com/health/2024/12/flu-surges-in-louisiana-as-health-department-barred-from-promoting-flu-shots/"This flu season, the health department has reportedly canceled standard vaccination events and clinics. On social media, the department has avoided mentioning flu shots in posts about the flu, instead advising people to wash their hands and cover their coughs"

@stux It's getting to be so divisive on social media that so many people want to replicate Twitter/X at it's worst, thinking, 'I'll make it better" when it never was any damn good to begin with. Musk only accelerated the demise,.
