I'm sorta in the middle. I've liked some of his stuff I've read and not really enjoyed some other stuff, so we'll see. So far, this is a pretty good one though!

All That We See or Seem by Ken Liu and The Incandescent by Emily Tesh. Having a bit of trouble with the relationships in The Incandescent so I've put it aside and am enjoying Ken Liu's latest, which is mostly about anonymity in an AI-rich society so far.

City hall seems like the obvious answer.

Honestly, I would be very much down to see this on Lemmy too. "This account was registered from country X" "Last post from country Y" (Or alternatively, "Last post from known VPN" so you at least know it's happening.)

It adds some interesting context at the very least.

iTunes stores them by audio file tags, so the better you tag your files, the better organized they get in the file and folder structure. So say you want to grab you Oingo Boingo Dead Man's Party album for some reason, it will be organized by Oingo Boingo/Dead Man's Party/1. Dead Man's Party.mp3, etc etc.

Mind you, I have never in my life tried to use it, but my understanding is that is the Fediverse equivalent of FB. I'm mostly on Mastodon or Pixelfed, which are the equivalents of Twitter and Instragram.

For a moment there, Trump almost respected Obama.

"Wow! Look a the grift on this guy! Why am I not receiving royalties on legislation too?"

And last I checked (but it’s been a few years) you could easily buy a “salvage” SN on eBay for like $15.

No offense but with the number of random processes running on any given machine, I am in no way gonna trust a mission critical app to work right from a pirate site and not load something extra like a keylogger. Hell it barely works right in a fully legal install…

Also, I used to strongly advocate switching off Creative Cloud to Affinity to own the software but I have this horrible feeling that they may be going either subscription or AI slop or both on the 30th and you can no longer buy version 2.

(And I say that as a long-time Adobe stockholder from back before they went pure evil with Creative Cloud.)

Typical teen: "What?? No mom, I just crushed some beans earlier, I swear!"

 

This really sucks… they plan to build here with or without city approval.

 

Remember to write the city council and mayor, folks! And the next public meeting about this is Wednesday (see earlier post).
