I haven’t really needed one myself but it’s more that I miss the opportunity to plan ahead where I’m going.

Yes, it happened. As I recall he tried to talk to the “protesters” but realized it was to no avail.

I’ve have Windows for at least the last ten years and this has maybe happened at few times. Windows is still a privacy hell, but it is stable.

Det står også at folk rett og slett bruker penger på feil ting. Velger å reise til utlandet og kose seg, istedenfor å faktisk betale regninger,

Jeg er også enig i at kollektivt er bra, men på bygda og utenom bymiljø trenger man rett og slett bil.

I think it’s naive and stupid. What they are doing is actually working against their cause. Imagine going for a job interview and some people are blocking the way, or even worse being in an ambulance in a horrible state. You can’t win people over to your cause like that.

Had to buy Red rising now that I read your comment, never heard about it. I recently read Hyperion as well and what made me suffer through the book was all the long ass descriptions of everything. The world is amazing and the story, but I’ll wait a while before I read the others.

Children of Time is amazing! I’ve read Children of Ruin, the second book which is equally as great and just started on the third one. If you haven’t read it, then check out Three Body Problem. I found it better than Hyperion, although very dystopian and kinda sad. Good read though. Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m looking forward to Starfield, although it’ll probably be quite buggy for some time, we’ll see.

Right now I’m playing Gotham Knights (kinda boring) and Civilization 6.

I highly recommend getting a gas burner, if you are comfortable with it. It’s great for cooking while camping. We’ve recently made tacos and risotto while camping. Also, depending on the brand/model, it works in most weather and you’re not reliant on gathering wood for a fire.

Running it on a Synology, and streaming through a Chromecast. It works great, some encoding issues sometimes and issues with subtitles, but other than that it’s fine.

I haven’t tried it, but I might give it a go sometime. I’m happy with SimpleX Chat for now. Only issue is of course to get others using it, which is basically impossible. A lot of people have adopted Signal which is great, but I don’t like that it is centralized.

I finally figured it out! Thanks for the comment!

I like Tutanota, but find it visually annoying.

I agree, the app is great and as you said it would be nice to be able to edit or remove albums/songs that don't display properly.

Yeah, I heard about that. Will be interesting to see for sure!

Also would recommend Three Body Problem, if you haven’t read it. You as a fan of hard sci-if would love it, probably one of my favorite trilogies.

Yes, looking forward to the third 👌

That sounds very interesting! I’ll definitely check it out 👍

Yeah. It’s crazy. But he really set up their story in a way that made me root for and feel for them. Cast unwillingly into this epic drama of species survival, it’s quite interesting. Also the story of the Gilgamesh was incredible. If you haven’t read the second book I really recommend it, I’m almost finished with it now and it’s definitely a page turner.

Everything is linked in a way that really makes sense and there are some really cool twists that builds upon the previous book as I mentioned.

If you have any recommendations of similar books or authors I’d really like to know!

Yes. The first one is the origin story of the spiders, the second one builds off of that and has them traveling the universe with some friends. Meeting a new species and so on. Trying not to spoil it but if you like science fiction you’ll probably like it.

For those interested in sci-if, I’m reading Children of Ruin, the sequel to Children of time written by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

It is equally as great, if not better than the first book. Definitely hard science fiction, to me at least, but it’s a really immersive book. Highly recommend.
