  • I’m a bigger defender than most of Consider Phlebas than most, but it’s a product of age.

    If you grew up with Star Trek and Neuromancer, the first book kind of splits those wickets on utopia/dystopia neatly in a way I don’t think holds up as well afterwards.

    Player of games is a much neater intro, but the ambiguity of the first book felt intentional, and it’s always interesting to me to see peoples reactions to that called shot.

    I must have read that description of ‘damage’ a dozen times.




  • Using the stock market to measure a recession has to account for continually rising rates at which money is rented. If you can see pretty massive cases of consumer level inflation while businesses struggle, you already have a hole money is leaving.

    Watching the evergrande saga unwind over the course of years should give an idea to the extent of run time it will take to see results, especially when it is in the interest of investors to prop up value.




  • Thank you, added to the list. Gonna tear up some disks spinning up all these VMs.

    I’m less worried on an intro to Arch than I am being able to just standardize on the same repos I’m already staring at when I inevitably have to answer questions over the phone. I know a few people like my dad (lapsed unix) who could afford to remember what it’s like outside of the walled garden, but too much friction is going to drive them off, ui or otherwise.




  • I mean the high brow homage is incredibly French, and not entirely accurate, but Le Fin remains funny to me.

    If you want some branding advice keep it simple and mildly adjacent, portmanteau tends to sound busy if you’ve got a bunch multi syllable words. I’d imagine most of the users will find there way here out of some degree of familiarity, the name and a screenshot do all your lifting for you.

    Blank for Lemmy grates on me, but you can drop it later and it brings some platform awareness, so not all bad.

    Keep up the great work!
