PaperVoice: Free audiobook app for LibriVox recordings ( Or classic audiobooks). We started this project to support our friends who wanted the audiobook for their books. Since Audible doesn't allow machine voices ( and human narrating is expensive). We decide to create a platform for these authors.
So, It's a platform where any author can publish their audiobook.

Companies censoring Parler is completely OK, it's the closed monopolies they have created that is the problem.
If network effect information monopolies would not be allowed, then corporation censorship would not be a problem. These monopolies can be broken by mandatory federation and open API's. (EU legislation is moving towards that direction).
Thanks. This is what exactly i am pointing out.

@striker_axel - have you ever stepped inside a restaurant or a hotel? They say - "Rights of admission are reserved". It's decided by them, not by a court. Samething with these apps.
Got it. But these corporation have alot of influence in our political system. If things will go on like this we might end choosing the govt. (or the political system) they want. Bcz they might filter the other feeds which are impacting them somehow.

I follow these three for AI progress and concepts

The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes from Paulo Coelho
These books taught me to take risk and importance of being different.
“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” — Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?” ― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

Synthesia: Piano midi software
During the lockdown i thought of learning the piano and this software really helped me. Since all the classes were online now.
Also, for subject which requires understanding of things (like Operating System). Try building a visual model in brain. If u already know some of the parts then connect those part visually with the new concept you are learning.
