Can you suggest me books in the style of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams?
  • I've stuck with audiobooks for Weir novels, and I think I'd agree on Artemis if not for Rosario Dawson's great narration of it. I end up relistening to it every couple years and still find it fun.

    I can't imagine what Project Hail Mary even looks like in print...

  • Reddit Ramps Up Its Threats To Protesting Mods, As Ad Buyers Leave
  • Once people come around to it being reddit but the accounts look and feel more like email, it's going to take off (or continue to). It's not such a great feat that it'll be insurmountable for average internet users.

    Ultimately, if the content is here, people will follow.

  • Any recent news on Gaiman's Seven Sisters?

    Neil Gaiman announced the Neverwhere sequel back in '17, and the last news I've been able to find is it's delayed as of 2020. Is there any news I've missed since then? I'm pretty stoked about going back to that world for more.

  • I'm not sure if it will scratch that itch, but Pratchett's daughter Rhiannon is co-releasing something Discworld related in the near future.

    I'm mostly in the same boat, except I haven't been able to pick up the Shepherd's Crown. I'm still not ready for it to be over.

  • Lemmy self-hosters. What is your image cleanup process?
  • IIRC, I've read comments elsewhere that pictrs caches for 6 months, but I can't independently verify. I hope this gets a broader answer because I'm still on the fence about getting an instance set up for myself and some small communities.

  • NSFW instances and federation
  • When viewing new, I get a lot of posts from that instance that aren't blurred.... I'm not sure if it's a tagging issue or a Jerboa issue, but it's pretty obnoxious. I'm still generally supportive of keeping it around, but I hope they find a way to get that under control soon.

  • Lemmy is in serious need of more devs
  • I've been working on learning Rust and getting familiar with Lemmy code in my spare time. I would guess there are other devs in the same position that would like to contribute, but it takes time to get up to speed. There will probably be many new contributors in the near future.
