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.
So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works... Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it... Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on
Using a self-hosted thelounge too and, as alternative if my home connection drop or so, I have irssi in termux.
Of course, it's the best proto for chat, I use it actively everyday since 1997.
Indeed with myopia glasses, I see the red in front like being out of the screen and feeling I can grab it
As with all those illusion it depends on how the brain interpret things... Perhaps your brain is clever than mine to see the image how it really is
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).

No, I always prefer reading novels before any movie/show because otherwise it disturbs the way I imagine the characters.
Just finished The dark forest, by Cixin Liu. As far as I read this sci-fi trilogy, I think I enjoy it very much. Now starting the last novel in the series, Death's End, by Cixin Liu.
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...

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.

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...
