Yeah I got used to them fairly quickly when visiting Europe recently. At first it was a bit annoying - kinda in the way when drinking and harder to twist back on properly. But after a few days you get the hang of it, and in some ways I prefer that style now.

On iOS, it’s called Live Voicemail under Settings -> Apps -> Phone.

View a transcript of an incoming voicemail in real time and answer the call before it ends.

Yeah and what it should mean is the same productivity (or slightly higher) over fewer hours worked. So everyone can get more of their lives back to go be happy and spend time with their friends and families. Or literally whatever else people would rather being doing besides working all the damn time.

Data-based messaging apps are generally now. Like iMessage and WhatsApp.

Yeah, same. For me, it’s better to simply not understand some words than have the distraction of subtitles on the whole time. Or when needed, just jump back a few seconds to hear it again.

Progressive Party is pretty good, has a nice ring to it. How about something even more to the point: Tax the Rich party. The entire platform can be built around taxing the billionaires out of existence and rebalancing the power back to the people.

Tax the Rich as a party name makes it very clear what it’s about, and it gets people saying the thing we need to be doing - so it helps to spread the idea more.

Bezos’s exercise of greater control over the Post‘s journalism in recent months has raised eyebrows.

Raised eyebrows? Is mild-washing a word? It should be.

Also downpour.com! I ditched Audible a long time back in favor of sites like these that don’t lock authors into crappy exclusives, provide DRM-free audiobooks for sale, and have actually decent deals with authors.

+1 this is what I have been told by vets and cat rescue organizations when we were going through the adoption process

Not sure which part you’re referring to, but in regards to stealing an election, I thought this recent video from Howtown to be really interesting! The US has a surprisingly robust election system and I wish more folks understood how it all works.

I use downpour.com for drm-free audiobooks. They let you straight up download the mb4 files haha it’s awesome.

It’s such a win-win b/c I get to buy audiobooks drm-free and I get to avoid supporting audible which has terrible business practices such as locking authors in exclusive deals.

Also thanks for the ebooks.com recommendation! I was reading this thread specifically to see if anyone knew of a good place online to buy drm-free ebooks :)
