Let go and let entropy. ,🌌
The sequel novella is just as short, but I was fortunate to be able to read them back to back. I enjoyed them so much and found them so refreshing in so many ways.
I don’t remember The Priory having the same pacing issues as it’s prequel, so I hope you really really enjoy it. And to be clear, I liked the prequel a lot too.
What is happening?! 🤪 We can blame Connect for Lemmy in moving this to the top level… blame alyaza which is more fun.

Ack! Connect for Lemmy bugged out and my response died with it…
sighs maybe later…
Btw, meltdown does look interesting.
Yeah. I just finished a book that I really enjoyed called A Day Of Fallen Night which is a pretty cool to The Priory Of The Orange Tree if you’ve heard of it. It really was a great read, but the pacing and chosen method for organizing the various character viewpoints made my skin crawl more than once. It was frustrating, but one of those books that I really wanted to read regardless.
There is once a book that I read through, because once I’m committed I find it very hard to stop reading, but it was by far the most horrendous experience ever because the author didn’t use quotes for the entire book and I had a real hard time following the dialogue.
Just finished also a couple of novellas which were a really nice and different from the more intense (e.g. action heavy) books I tend to read. They were the first books I’ve read where the protagonist is non-binary and referred to as they. It was challenging in some ways but also very good for me as well. A Psalm For The Wild-built and it’s sequel A Prayer for the Crown-Shy.
Writing styles can certainly make a break books.
That Meltdown book looks interesting!
currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month

I am unimaginably sleepy
This.
Loooong weekend with a very heavy Monday. My mind is frayed after work today, but I was actually able to make decent progress on something that’s been on huge stress. I feel good about that. It certainly isn’t an engineering masterpiece, but it does the job which makes me super glad! Looking forward to getting it near complete tomorrow.
Now, I just wanna go to bed, but I promised my two youngest another (what feels like) ten million rounds of Smash Bros. 💫 😬
As much as mushy as my brain feels in the moment, I have a lot to be grateful for. 💜
Plus, there’s birthday cake left over from this weekend. 🤪
A progressive web app (pwa) is installed as an app on your phone. Developers can publish these web application online without users requiring an app store. They run on multiple platforms and devices from a single codebase, giving a platform-specific like experience. They are very light weight and even offer offline capabilities.
Did any of you guys try it as well? What’s your opinion?
In respect to Lemmy as a whole, I’m trying to exercise a lot patience.
One of the first things I did was install it as a PWA. It has a sleek UI, but some bugs makes it incredibly hard for me to use. One of the worst is an issue with several of the combo boxes which repeatedly flashing on use. I have to try hitting the appropriate selection multiple times in hopes of it eventually taking.
I use Jerboa most of the time inspite of the many bugs, but I usually end up having to open the PWA for missing functionality.
Like I said…
Lots… And lots…
And lots… of patience.
I wish the acronym CPM was defined. Maybe I overlooked it.
There are most definitely some useful bots, like the recent tldr that I’ve encountered. I find them incredibly valuable. They should be used sparingly though.
“Fun” joke or game bots could be okay with if they were in specific communities that wanted them (which would be communities I’m not a part of, 😁), but not in general. I tend to be a purist and like to keep things as vanilla as possible.
