I used Calibre with my Kobo and while it made the Kobo so much more useful, the interface is somewhat complicated and gets worse as you add plugins. Didn't matter in the end because I stopped using the Cobo in favor of my phone (ReadEra is great in creating a good enough reading experience).

This touches on something very difficult when it comes to families: if you are lucky you end up with one that gives you a happy childhood. If you're super lucky that same family turn out to be the most supportive and fun people in you adult life. Most people simply aren't that super lucky, mostly because it actually requires lots and lots of conscience work across generations.

It's the HN echo chamber at work that finds little value in social networks targeting non-devs. I don't use LinkedIn myself but know lots that do and most do find work and opportunities through it, otherwise they wouldn't bother using it.

Isn't it easier to just say, "Mind your own fucking business?"
