I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

    Haha.

    I find the best way to handle withdrawal is to change your habit. I spent time grabbing a few books, and spent a few days with my Kindle or with Foliate fullscreen on my HDTV.

    So before, I’d probably spend time answering r/firefox, looking at r/firefoxcss - now I start with 1/2 hour reading Great Expectations. After reading a chapter, I play the same chapter via audiobook - meanwhile I have a couple of TV/Movie versions queued up to watch after finishing reading.

    After that I’d probably get into some DadJokes - I can do that on https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes

    Next up, an hour reading The Midnight Library

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

      Hello!

      May I ask why you are listening to the same chapter after reading it? :) Is it to retain the information or just to not miss anything? Do you do the same regardless if you’re reading fiction or non-fiction?

        Most movies and tv shows are from books, and reading the book is 99.5% better.

        Think of talking Bladerunner movie and doing it as a 30 minute short.
