I've just finished the wonderful audiobook of social commentary "Service Model" by @aptshadow.bsky.social. I totally enjoyed it, as I have quite a number of this particular author's books. Highly recommended indeed. The narrator of the audiobook wasn't bad either. 😁

@aptshadow.bsky.social I've just finished listening to Alien Clay. What a joy the experience has been. One of relatively few "reads" where the "skip 30 seconds" button has been completely unused. Thank you for this glorious work. And thanks to the wonderful narrator too. Glorious stuff indeed. Wow.

Yo, bluesky fucked up the photo posting UI real bad on the new Android version. You can't access Google Photos anymore, it uses some in-app browser thing that only shows recent photos and random albums. We all post too many selfies to accept this as the tradeoff for getting notifications.

President Jimmy Carter is said by his family to be in his final days. My heart goes out to his loved ones and to our nation as a whole, who will have lost a good and decent man.

Honestly, Musk is an utter twunt. It's a real shame that he wasn't in that car he sent off to the stars. Earth would be a better place.
