started reading All Systems Red by Martha Wells. Let's see if this novel lives up to the hype.

@gloriouscow @thias here's my tip:

Paste the labels on the *inside* of the box. They don't strip off, never get lost.

I don't really post much to social media anymore, but I thought I would report that after 29 years I finally watched all of #Babylon5 - I gave up during the telepath arc in season 5 when it was first shown.

Turns out that was a mistake, because it got pretty darn good after that! The Centauri story was really well done (and tragic, even though we basically knew what was going to happen).

The LotR analogies I've heard about the show held true given they gave each of the major characters a sending off at the end too :D (also "going beyond the Rim" is really obviously "sailing to the West"). And the last episode "Sleeping in Light" was really nicely done and very sad.

Though they did leave a few threads dangling... (like what happened to Bester's girlfriend, and what happened with that urn at the end)

But overall, it's a fantastic show and was really fun to watch it all again :). I'm off on vacation for a few weeks but maybe afterwards we'll watch Call to Arms and Crusade. #scifi

I don't know why we use #stars to rate #books, anyway. Stars are luminous spheroids of plasma in the sky with an average temperature of about 5000 to 6000 Kelvin.

I wouldn't want my books anywhere near one.

My friend sent me this. #uspol #StarTrek #StarWars

so I have been trying out https://fluxer.app/

an open source discord alternative.

I like it so far. UI and functionality very close to discord, which makes switching easier 🙂

the Dev has also a future federationfeautre on fluxers roadmap.

looks promising so far.

I also tried the Linux app (Appimage) and it asked me if I want to register global short cuts in KDE with wayland very nice 🙂

the blog of the Developer is also interesting: https://blog.fluxer.app/
