"Rachel rising", by Terry Moore
Finished #reading Terry Moore's Rachel rising series
(it, too, was part of the Humble Bundle).
I kind of stopped counting all the dead people after a while. And that was just the first volume.
I'm not much for horror, but quite a lot of it just went past me.
Until the last volume. I could have finished it yesterday, but I had to take a break.
So. The story. It's biblical. Years of revenge, on a god-forsaken scale.
And in the middle of it all, there's a nice, non-violent, throwback to an earlier story.

xkcd 1357: Free Speech
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please log in.
This one's old, but I still find it relevant.
xkcd alt-text: I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

"Echo", by Terry Moore
Finished reading Terry Moore's Echo series, which was part of the Humble Bundle I bought a month ago.
When science out of curiosity leads to science for the better good but is run-over and exploited, and "just because something is possible, doesn't mean it should be done", and military who "just wants to one-up the other guys (consequenses? huh?)", and there are other things in life that hold value.

European alternatives
Do you feel like you no longer want to use services or pages based in the USA, maybe you can find an European alternative here. I am using a couple of them myself already (pCloud, pCloud Pass, Mastodon).

New order - "Your silent face"
I was staying with my relatives in Scotland, and my cousin played this record.
Later on, I tried to re-find it — I had no idea what band it was, or the name of the record, but I remembered the cover, and that it said "FACT 75" on the cover. I didn't know that that was the record label's numbering of their records, but it was just what the record store needed and I got my record. On CD, though, because this was years later.
One of their tracks popped up in my mind, and I think this was the track.

Ah! That's what I'm looking for, yes!

@phle What?!? how weird! I remember we had it. Both that one and Vimeo. Guess that it got removed? oddly enough, both the [youtube][/youtube] and [vimeo][/vimeo] tags appear
The Vimeo video doesn't seem to appear though.

@phle btw, I think you can also force the embedded player if you put the part after watch?v= between the [youtube][/youtube] tag. e.g., for your video, that would be [youtube]f4fB9EXpMTI[/youtube]

Facebook var aldrig ok.¹
Nu är det dags att släppa kanten.
Flyttstäd från 2025-02-01.
Utflyttning innan 2025-03-01.
Det här är ett publikt "event" och du får gärna bjuda in andra som du tror funderar i samma banor.
Oavsett om du väljer att behålla dina Meta-kopplingar etc. eller ej, så får du gärna göra mig sällskap i "fediversum". Det fina med fediversum är att du kan ha din profil på en plattforms instans medan jag har min profil på en annan instans — eller t.o.m. en annan plattform — och vi kan ändå interagera. (Inget som hindrar dock att vi har profiler på samma plattform och på samma instans. 😊)
Jag har profil på plattformen diaspora*, som kan kommunicera med Friendica, sedan över tio år tillbaka. Friendica å sin sida kan kommunicera med många fler plattformar — t.ex. Mastodon, Pixelfed och några till — så jag håller på att göra mig hemmastadd här.
- Friendica och diaspora* är närmast jämförbara med Facebook.
Jag har profil på friendica.world
(och på diasp.eu, men den instansen är stängd för nyskapande av konton). - Mastodon är närmast jämförbar med Twitter.
Jag har profil på mastodon.nu. - Pixelfed är närmast jämförbar med Instagram.
- BookWyrm är ett federerat alternativ till Goodreads, och kan kommunicera med bl.a. Friendica och Mastodon.
Jag har profil på bookwyrm.social.
(Jag vet att t.ex. Friendica har en miljard inställningsmöjligheter, och jag har inte riktigt full koll på allihop (än?), men tänker att vi ju kan hjälpas åt. 😅)
¹ Kanske någon gång där efter i början, men sedan kom "förbättringarna".
Facebook was never ok.²
Now it's time to let go.
Clean-up from 2025-February-01.
Moving out before 2025-March-01.
This is a public event, and you're welcome to invite similar-minded individuals.
Whether you choose to keep your Meta connections or not, you're welcome to make me company in the Fediverse. The neat thing with the Fediverse is that you can have your profile on one platform instance while I have my profile on another instance — or on another platform! — and we can still interact. (Nothing stops us from having profiles on the same platform on the same instance, though. 😊)
I have a profile on the platform diaspora* since 2014. diaspora* can communicate with Friendica. Friendica, on the other hand, can communicate with a lot more platforms — e.g. Mastodon, Pixelfed, and a few others — so I'm trying to make myself at home here.
- Friendica and diaspora* are closest in comparison to Facebook.
I have a profile at friendica.world
(and at diasp.eu, but that instance is closed for new sign-ups). - Mastodon is similar to Twitter.
I have a profile at mastodon.nu. - Pixelfed is similar to Instagram.
- BookWyrm is a federated alternative to Goodreads, and can communicate with e.g. Friendica and Mastodon.
I have a profile at bookwyrm.social.
(I know that e.g. Friendica has a bazillion settings, and I don't master all of them (yet?), but I figure that we can try to help each other out. 😅)
² Maybe somewhere after the very start, but then the "improvements" came along.

Hm. I've successfully managed to #block a bunch of in-reality-all-from-the-same-sender profiles from my viewing via browser,
but they're all there when I view via #raccoonforfriendica, and they don't disappear even if I (re-)block them there.
I sort of assumed that blocking was connected to the profile, not as an Addon,
so I guess it's something not yet sorted out in Raccoon for Friendica ?
Ok, I
- cleared the cache
AND
- cleared the app storage
and then re-logged in again.
NOW they're finally out of sight.
(And it's not just that it was old cached posts - I saw a seconds old message, over new messages from other posters, so they were definitely not "blocked" before.)
I had the same problem before — not being able to comment —which also was solved by memory-emptying and re-login ...
(not app-beta, that was 0.4.0 from F-droid; this is 0.4.1-beta08, from Google Play).
