What's a good book that unfolds over a short time in-story? No spoilers, thanks. in c/[email protected]

@Varyk How short a time are we talking?

This one might be a bit of a cheat, but: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. Technically everything happens within a day.

@Pluto @NovaPrime
I have been using Storygraph for a couple of years now and really like it. Exported my Goodreads data and imported it into Storygraph. There was some cleanup I had to do, as Goodreads was often missing start / end dates for reading history.

What I really like about Storygraph is that it's not bloated the way that Goodreads is. The interface is clean and fairly easy to navigate and it has very few unwanted features. The stats are cool too. https://app.thestorygraph.com/stats/hybridhavoc?year=2024

Checked out Silent Hill Ascension last night and yeah, was not impressed and doubt I'll look at it again.

@Adderbox76 @Mothra Love the Death Gate Cycle, would also recommend it. It feels a bit like the prototype for Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere.

@Aviandelight @Mothra This is a great series. I recently did a re-read and it still holds up.

@GunnarRunnar to be fair, the OP is not the one that asked for an explanation.

Any idea if we can use filters for posts in a specific language? in c/[email protected]

@scratch There is a translate feature built in, but it requires that your instance have configured it, since it utilizes a a third-party service for the translation. You reach out to your instance admin to ask about it.

@RxBrad @flameguy21
I think they were more comparing the userbase of Mastodon against its corporate-owned alternatives, not to other fediverse apps.

And if you're interested, you can pick up Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest audiobooks on Chirp Books for $4 or less each.

Does mastodon support groups or communities? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

@jay91 Group support appears to be in the works. In the mean-time, people on Mastodon can still follow group accounts and those group accounts will boost posts into their followers' feeds. For example, that's how I saw this post to reply to.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

I've been strongly considering picking this up. I was a big fan of Yuke's old WCW games on N64 and this seems to really lean into that lineage.

Techdirt Podcast 354 - Yoel Roth joins to discuss content moderation on decentralized platforms

Yoel Roth is the former head of Trust & Safety at Twitter and now a Tech Policy Fellow at UC Berkeley. This episode does a pretty good job, I think, of pointing out the strengths and challenges of moderation on the fediverse and other decentralized systems. Great listen for anyone interested in this sort of stuff.

#TuneTuesday : #ThatIsActuallyGood - A song you like from a band you pretend not to like

Share a song from a band that you pretend not to like. This week’s theme comes from @derthomas

Tune Tuesday is a weekly prompt to share music. Each week there is a new theme pulled by @Kitty and a corresponding hashtag. This is mostly on Mastodon, but thanks to the power of federation I can tag @music here and share it to the Music community at Beehaw.org.

If you are a #scifi fan and haven't read #TheExpanse yet do yourself a favor and pick this up. $7.99 is a tough price to beat, and it's a great series.

Queers of Time, a #WheelOfTime podcast, is having an anniversary and charity livestream supporting the Marsha P Johnson Institute, which helps uplift the voices of Black Trans people.

Edit because I'm seeing this get some engagement now: the livestream was on June 3rd.
