I think a bit the opposite: I'm really worried about the trend to give people only information they care about. I think it's essential to be able to have information about everything. Of course there will always be stuff you don't care about but having it automatically filtered out is dangerous in my opinion. In GAFA-powered social networks, you are only given pieces of information about your own opinion, you never have something that make you question yourself about your opinion. The power of independent and open media like Lemmy is to not rely on such biasing algorithms.
I finished Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu. Enjoyed it but since I read the Three Body problem trilogy just before, my expectations were too high, because this one is less thrilling.
I started and read one third of Accelerando by Charles Stross but I stopped there because I was lost and not appreciating that much. Might reread it when I have more time, I think the issue is that the story is kind of difficult to follow and since I had to split in short and time apart reading sessions, I was not able to follow it.
Now, I started The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, not very long into it but I think it will please me.
Indeed just issuing a warning at connection or so "keep in mind to drive safely and keep an eye on the road" would be more appropriate IMHO. There is the same kind of restrictions with Waze, you cannot access the keyboard when driving and are forced to use the speech recognition which is often difficult (especially in foreign countries where street names are in foreign language).
Reading Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu. For now, I find it a bit less good than the Remembrance of the Earth's past trilogy I read before.
Ces livreurs payés à la livraison c'est pénible au possible... Vu qu'ils sont rémunérés au nombre de colis, ils sont près à n'importe quoi sur la route et en matière d'arrêt afin de maximiser le nombre de colis qu'ils livrent... Il y'a quelques jours, la femme d'un collègue s'est fait renverser par la camionnette d'un livreur qui n'avait rien trouvé de mieux que de faire marche arrière sur des centaines de mètre, histoire d'éviter de faire demi-tour et ainsi gagner quelques minutes...
Just finished Death's End, by Cixin Liu which is the last volume of Remembrance of Earth's past trilogy (better known from the title of the first book The three body problem). I enjoyed very much the 3 novels, great Sci-fi and I also learned many things about Chinese culture through translator notes. (note: I've not seen the Netflix show before reading it, because I hate watching movies about novels I have not read, it block too much the mental image I do reading the book, therefore limiting the amazement of reading).
Next, I decided not to read the fan fiction sequel but rather what is presented as a prequel: Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu.
While this is just a static 2d image, it looks like blue is above the screen (for me, for some others it's below, or red is above).

As of now, I backup stuff (mainly pictures) from my phone to a linux file server using rsync in termux (launched through the tasker plugin and automate). I search a replacement to get rid of the automate application that I need only for that, is not Foss and require to run in background in order to use it. Do you think Syncthing can deserve my use case ? Of course I can RTFM but...
I think this is inaccurate. Belgium is shown as not having it implemented but that's wrong, almost all GLASS bottles (beer, water, soda) are sold with a deposit fee.
For info the score has now been updated to 10 in original post, nice work :)
Not the best but an honorable score for photon
Based on the awesome job of [email protected] documenting the stuff and applying it to solarized, I tried to do the same with my vim favorite theme: everforest. It's far from perfect (I'm not at all a designer), feel free to improve your way (and share updates in comments). The zinc theme is probably more refined because I use only this one, I tried to make slate match the palette but as I'm not using it it's more difficult.

Number of (active) Lemmy users seems to stabilize and I think this is a great thing. Indeed we got a lot of users when reddit shutdown its API (I was among them despite being a long time oss user), many have left, but the community seems now to stabilize to ~ ½ of the big grow in june '23. I think this is very nice for lemmy, we can be proud of this project.
