Well another pride for me today 3 out of 4 this year.

This time going back to my old home for over 20 years. I lived there, I learned there and worked there.

I hope to able to share some photos of me in front of Storchenturm maybe? we will see.

The City itself may be considered conservative maybe? Lots of migrants living there. Russian-German and people of turkish-heritage. All a little dependant which neighborhood you go to.

So I just hope all will go well. Not that I am afraid. Just a little weary tbh. The safety concept seems good and we can even celebrate on the towns square which is kind of an honor for me but yeah its used often for stuff like this

The Demo-Route also now is shorter but I think better as well as it leads through the historic core of the city. Though maybe not the wheelchair friendliest thing with all its cobblestone. I will be fine though. I tested the boots on such terrain before.

Today outfit is the same one as last time but today I make the choice for the long boots and sweat my legs of in them I guess xD.

You know I did contemplate to go there in a normal outfit alot but I kinda think I really wanna go like this... Out and Proud and stuff. For others who maybe cannot.

Happy Pride fedi as always And be yourself!

@mametsuko Sounds good mame. Enjoy your comfy time

@mametsuko All the things kinda.

excited, sleepy, slightly anxious? Pride again today

How are you mame?

@mametsuko Morni Mame

@kura just as an aside. Most E-Book reader generally can read adobe e-books just need an account. Its pretty mucb the same thing libraries use. They will still be DRMed

Good luck with first aid

If you wanna know more just message me

@kura It has a table of contents.

The (updated) TL:DR for you.

I usually use kobo for my english stuff. Though the de-DRM for it does not work 100% on win 11 for a component missing in there.

You can usually use any service that provides downloads of Adobe files that you can claim and de-DRM for now.

@kura The article is 5 years old but the general gist is kinda the same

@kura For german stuff I usually use thalia.

For english stuff gets a little more complicated...

https://lightnovel-dungeon.de/artikel/alternativen-zu-amazon-fuer-den-light-novel-kaeufer/

See here. I usually use kobo in combo with de-DRM (which is. sadly working less and less)

@kura Any other store tbh. Bookwalker has such draconic DRM. I hate them so much.

@kura why bookwalker though

@weebdeluxe I mean I can easily get prints but... I will think about it. Seeing some proper fantasy sounds nice

@weebdeluxe It sounds interesting for sure 👀 Tbh I would love an E-Book but oh well.

Will see if I get it maybe

morni @aetios

@oook I can confirm that as well but under windows I have Moza Pithouse which allows for better control than boxflat under Linux.

Though tbh boxflat is quite nice already.

Yeah I had a weird thing I needed to setup under windows. Though thats more to fact that Pithouse does not have a proper Profile for AMS2.

Under Linux though gets even weirder for me. It turns the wheel either full lock to the right or left once ingame. I decided not to further investigate...

@oook Pretty sure its more the Moza Wheel than it is AMS2 on Linux lol.

Have plenty of other games where it works well even in proton Assetto Corsa, BeamNG, Project Cars (2) {I think}

It is what it is sometimes.

@lumi mailbox.org has an option for you to use your own domain. Costs atleast 3€ a month but has 50 Aliases for your own domain to use. If you need more there a 9€ a month option with 250

I never used but their own service is really good

@fristi understandable. But its the weekend

@fristi 🦈

How are you fristi?
