Libby, the ebook reader app that is synced with my library card! It works quite well, and though I technically pay for my public library via taxes, the app is free and fantastic!

For those transfer fees alone, I should be switching to yearly donations, but I’m about half half monthly and yearly right now. Looking at the ones I support via Patreon, not all of them actually offer a yearly option though.

I made the jump a ways back, and it’s only on rare occasions that I find I need to open Brave or Chrome (whichever is installed on my machine at the time) for website compatibility.

Okay, that clicks with other things I’ve heard recently. Thank you.

I would also like to know more about instances being defederated and for what reason this might be happening.

DuckDuckGo 95% of the time, Google if I’m having trouble finding something.

For the clueless, could you explain what bangs are in terms of searching using DDG?
