@stella that is too funny.
@KristinKim many engineers don’t care about the change management process because they think it’s just a simple change. Where is the validation and back out plans? Meh! Don’t need it.
Today seems like a good day to repost this strip...
@GossiTheDog Our last hope is SO's Dance, Dance Authentication! 🤡 https://youtu.be/VgC4b9K-gYU?si=vDO5ctb7nXwCAsPO
I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon #Bookstodon #Scifi #ScienceFiction
@Jennifer @bookstodon some suggestions:
* The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
* Winters Orbit by Everina Maxwell
* The @murderbotbot series by Martha Wells
* Seven of Infinities by @aliettedb
* A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
* Ancillary Justice by Anne Leckie
Not all of them were my cup of tea but I'm in the minority
@pandora_parrot @Jennifer @murderbotbot this is hilarious! Why did I not know Murderbot was on mastodon until now?! 😄 Definitely following Martha as well. I just started “The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet” by Becky Chambers, but can’t recommend it as yet.
@Jennifer @bookstodon try the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. It’s funny and set in a spacefaring future with a dash of world building thrown in. The main character is a cyborg SecUnit that overrides it’s governor module and tries to carve out an independent life for itself, where it can just watch it’s favorite TV shows, but alas, it gets interrupted by human conflicts. At its core it’s about relationships.
@infosec_jcp hilarious!
@CLMilne @mekkaokereke I too am glad about the 3pm start. Had to watch the 9pm games the next day. My bracket has #iowa for the win. It’s going to be a nailbiter of a game. #WFinalFour
@recollir hilariously true.
The reason why #Threads and #Mastodon are incompatible is that Mastodon is a community, and Threads is a market. That's it.
It's not big Fed vs small Fedi. It's not platforms vs protocols.
It's communities vs markets.
Communities are supportive and markets are extractive. Communities answer to those who must live with decisions made. Markets answer to money.
And wouldn't you know it, those contrasting forces influence people's behaviors, goals, and motivations for engaging with others.
It wasn’t that Tom didn’t like #silentsunday, it just wasn’t a practice he could easily incorporate into his life.
