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?

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!
