New rumor? You mean rumors as soon as it was unlaunched. Nothing new about this.

Audiobooks are great for commutes. If you got the version narrated by Andy Serkis, be prepared for him to really dig deep into the songs and rhyming.

Currently reading A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. Liking it so far.

Last finished A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. Didn’t enjoy it as much as The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.

Yep, love it. https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/hybridhavoc

This is frankly bizarre. I don’t understand how you can even write that and reasonably think that the platform hosting the hypothetical defamation should have any liability there. Like this is actually a braindead take.

Not how it works. Also your use of “becomes a publisher” suggests to me that you are misinformed - as so many people are - that there is some sort of a publisher vs platform distinction in Section 230. There is not.

Repealing Section 230 would actually have the opposite effect, and lead to less moderation as it would incentivize not knowing about the content in the first place.

Sadly it has been more than 12 years we’ve been waiting for the next book. 🙁

Great recommendation. Extremely easy to get into, great compelling character voice, and most of the entries in the series are very quick reads.

IMO this is a wild recommendation to give to someone that doesn’t do a lot of reading.

Back in 2001 the recruiter at my high school very nearly convinced my girlfriend at the time to join up. She was not cut out for that life, and did eventually back out.

Clark was raised on a farm. It still checks out.

If you enjoyed The Expanse then I would recommend Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.

According to numbers shown on https://fedidb.org it basically already has. Monthly Active Users is only about 17% of total users.

This kind of retention rate is not uncommon in free social services.

I would usually recommend some Alastair Reynolds to anybody into science fiction. I always suggest starting with House of Suns because it’s a stand-alone novel that is really good and will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from his writing. But his Revelation Space series is where the bulk of his writing is. However, I wouldn’t call his work fast paced. So you might not get into it.

I have recently been reading the Murderbot Diaries. They are extremely easy and enjoyable reads. Could definitely give those a try.

If you enjoyed Recursion, you would probably like another book by Blake Crouch, Dark Matter.

Children of Time is a must-read IMO
