Not exactly a science fiction book, but just finished Mother Night by Vonnegut, incredible book.

Back to science fiction: I just started A Deepness In The Sky by Vernon Vinge, book 2 of his Zones Of Thought trilogy. I liked the first book a lot so looking forward to this.

Launching a new social media network and not making it available in the EU is really dumb imho.

Ah my bad, in Europe we don't see many of these cars. How would you call it? A truck?

 

Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

 

A friend who is on holiday in Brazil sent me this picture. My first reaction was why is he sending me a City Skylines screenshot ?

I don't particularly like Facebook but..

If a country makes it legal to criminally prosecute girls who seek an abortion, and the same country makes it legal to allow police enforcement to demand tech companies to handover their data, maybe the problem is the country and its laws, more than Facebook.

I hope not.

Places like Reddit or Twitter become progressively worse as they get more popular.

Besides, Mastodon is not a replacement of Twitter. It has the same UI and look&feel but it's very different. Twitter is basically a place where internet celebrities post and other people comment and share. Mastodon is more like regular chaps hanging out and exchanging opinions.
