    I received a notice this morning that a link to the Marion newspaper raid article was taken down for "cybersecurity" reasons. Looks like I wasn't the only one.

    Pushing Ice by Alistair Reynolds

    Pretty long, kinda slow, but compelling. A crew of miners are called on to chase an alien spacecraft to the edge of the solar system in order to find out what they can about it before returning home. This is the story of how they survive when things inevitably go wrong. Reynolds gives us a realistic and yet optimistic view of humanity and our foibles.

    @DejahEntendu @bookstodon this one didn't go where I was expecting it to at all.

    If you're a Fediverse admin, this is a plea for you to defederate threads.net

    is part of Meta/Facebook, and their track record on moderation is as horrific as it is possible to be:

    https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence

    https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/ethiopia-facebook-algorithms-contributed-human-rights-abuses-against-tigrayans

    The victims of prejudice, violence and genocide cannot "block" attackers that were radicalised online. Victims of bigotry and hatred cannot opt out of being beaten up or murdered.

    Please defederate Threads/Meta/Facebook 🙏

    @FediTips
    I'm sorry, I'm having trouble following your reasoning here.

    Your complaint is that a user blocking an instance still leaves posts from that instance visible to other users? How else would you possibly expect that to work?

    @hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

    @FediTips No, what you said was "Users can't really block instances unfortunately." You then used incredibly weird reasoning to explain that. That's not a FediTip, that's a FediMisleadingYouToPushAdminsToDefederate

    @Varyk How short a time are we talking?

    This one might be a bit of a cheat, but: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. Technically everything happens within a day.

    I have been using Storygraph for a couple of years now and really like it. Exported my Goodreads data and imported it into Storygraph. There was some cleanup I had to do, as Goodreads was often missing start / end dates for reading history.

    What I really like about Storygraph is that it's not bloated the way that Goodreads is. The interface is clean and fairly easy to navigate and it has very few unwanted features. The stats are cool too. https://app.thestorygraph.com/stats/hybridhavoc?year=2024

    Revevger by Alistair Reynolds

    The world is a strange mix of space-faring and Victorian, but not steampunk. The plot twists were actually pretty surprising and more macabre than I was expecting, even given the name of the book is Revenger. The book was creative, and it was delightful to read YA without a romance involved and to just see this young woman grow into who she needed to be. That woman is quite engaging and powerful.

    @DejahEntendu @bookstodon Big fan of Alastair Reynolds, looking forward to getting to this book at some point. I hadn't even realized it's a YA book.
