I’m realizing that I signed up for a probably-at-risk instance (lemmy.ml). I’m quite left but not necessarily an anarchist so it would seem applying to lemmy.dbzer0.com wouldn’t be a good move. (But I did enjoy reading your application requirements!) Recs on other small but reliable instances?

In that case it seems like there’s should be some sort of GitHub automation tool that maybe uses a network of test accounts from popular instances to sub and then unsub the new community to make it visible. Other than for that purpose, I feel like that’s a very bad idea haha

It’s a little dated but I’m enjoying it, knowing it was written during a time I’m familiar with

I once went to work, did all my normal work routines- Went to meetings, filled out my time sheet, requested time off for the holidays, rejected some code, etc. When I got back home I suddenly woke up and was pissed because now I had to actually go to work and do all that shit hahaha

I’ve read more books in the last month than I have in 5 years. I’m really enjoying getting back into it

I just finished it! It really is a great novel. The translation is great and the footnotes are pretty enlightening, considering my lack of deep knowledge on recent Chinese history.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I borrowed it from a friend so long ago I don’t remember who it was. Like… More than 10 years ago. I didn’t expect it to start out so strangely, especially after finishing The Three Body Problem lol. And that one started very strangely!
