This looks good, I just found an old (3 year old post - I didn't even know Lemmy was around back then!) and commented on it. There were also funnily two other recent comments (one from 2 months ago and another 3 months old).

Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

Great to know, thanks!

I suspect it's sometimes because a mod removes the comment, I may be wrong.

Twitter appears to have copied it too.

It is a gif, at least on desktop for me. Yours only shows as a link.

Yes, it's the same with some comments for me, I think when I click 'parent' or 'more replies'.

I'll be on lemm.ee more often since dot world goes down kinda frequently - and it's healthier to spread the load anyway.

I like the concept but I need durability.

 

I saw this other guy asking how you'd download protected drive only view documents. So that reminded me of that other annoying characteristic of PDFs. They're 'protected'.

How do you deal with PDFs that are inherently uncustomisable and have fixed formatting? I appreciate the KO Reader and other readers can do reflowable text, but I'd prefer not to and epubs/txt/any customisable format would be better.

Any good methods of PDF to text/epub out there?

That's interesting. ^[Markdown is very cool]

 

This is a fan made audiobook and is as described. The immersive soundscape experience involves background sounds, chatter, music and more. It's genuinely a great peice of work especially for an enthusiast's effort. It may be removed by youtube soon, so here is an alternative link: https://castbox.fm/channel/Harry-Potter-|-Immersive-Soundscape-id5488497

Dive into Harry’s second year at Hogwarts with an immersive soundscape audio experience of the story by J.K Rowling - for those who like the movies, games and books, and want a little of both!

Narration, voices and edit by me. Music by John Williams, Jeremy Soule, J Scott Rakozy, Chuck E. Myers, Peter Murray and special thanks to Brigid Kaelin for her amazing musical saw orchestra! You can find her channel here - / @brigidkaelin

I thought you were being serious for a second.

We're on an audiobooks ~~sub~~ community btw. I didn't consider specifying but I didn't want to bloat my post unnecessarily.

Also I see this post is supposed to have 4 (now 5) comments but I only see yours and mine, 2 are missing - I assume you or others deleted them? Or is this something to do with instances?

 

I'm posting here because I was surprised that these older audiobooks are available to stream. Of course, only people with the library can access them. But they must have already been part of the physical CD catalogue. I'm assuming they're on CDs because they're old and sound quality is definitely not modern.

So perhaps staff uploaded them to their cloud service.
