  • I like the idea, and might get back into it (restarting), but previous time I started it I was thrown off by the overuse of metaphors. Maybe it’s just an introduction-thing, but I found it very cumbersome to always have to read “The thing was X, like and Y that had undergone Z” instead of just “the thing was worn and green”.

    Yes, I know that writers should show rather than tell, but when the reader has to spend most of the reading time parsing metaphors that could’ve instead just been a factual statement, it becomes a very cumbersome read.

    But I will give it another go. I like the sci-fi classics, and I suspect I’d like this one too




  • Not working on anything particular, but I’m going on a road trip on Tuesday to this regional airport that is giving away two racks perfect for my use case. Deep enough for my larger machines, sound proofed and 42U tall.

    Finally my hardware can have a proper rack instead of being in a stack/pile in this harrypotteresque locker under my stairs.









  • Not sure anymore. It has been Samsung for a really long time because of excellent hardware (except from when it had a dedicated bixby button).

    The hardware is still excellent (at least in the flagship models), but the software part has gotten so bloated and annoying that I’m going for something else next time.

    The bloat is partially android itself, but Samsung layers it’s own crap on top of that again.

    I might go for Jolla next. Or a pixel with graphene.
