tl;dr Books, most likely generated by an LLM, were being sold on Amazon under Jane Friedman's name. The same books were added to her Goodreads profile. Amazon initially refused to remove the books. If it's happening to her, it's definitely happening to other authors.
The sea in #Normandy looks different if you’ve chosen (a local bookstore accommodated) to read #Condé, #Glissant, and a book on regional entanglements in the #transatlantic slave trade and the slave economies. #slavery#history
Glissant, in his “discours antillais”, talks about “inquiète tranquillité”:
“The uneasy tranquillity of our existences, by so many obscure relays tied to the tremor of the world.”
Drei Wochen hinter meinem Zeitplan habe ich nun auch endlich Baustelle 2 des Großprojekts Habil-Fertig-Schreiben geschafft. Jetzt kann das Wochenende kommen!
@MichiganPal I’ve just started the Red House by Roz Watkins. I’m only a few chapter in but am so far enjoying it, after a couple of false starts on books that failed to keep my interest. It is about a dark topic but hopefully will be suspenseful rather than grim.
It does have the below quote, which my greyhound-adjacent part-whippet would resent if she could bestir herself from her bed…
I'm the reviewer you want today: I just submitted an "accept as-is" on this R&R two hours after receiving it. Somebody give me a cookie (or send this kind reviewer energy my way, please).
I was thinking about getting a Steam Deck but I'm not entirely sure if it's better than my GTX 970. I'll have to do more research since there's no point in getting something that isn't an upgrade.
The official Valve dock has connectivity issues, but there are plenty of third party docks that are cheaper and work better.
Using the default system settings, I’ve never had any performance issues with it docked compared to handheld.
It’s important to note that unlike the Switch, docked mode does not improve performance. Trying to play a game at your TV’s native resolution most definitely will cause performance issues, but again, default system settings work perfectly.
@eurunuela I'm also starting to see groups like @neurobuzz (I joined) and @academicchatter (haven't yet joined) which are designed to boost within-topic posts that are shared with them.
The square brackets around the hashtags followed by regular brackets and URLs should be interpreted by the client as URLs with link text whatever is in the square brackets - markdown is how it is formatted to do this.
Strangely, viewing the post here on blahaj.zone, the tree and moss links do display like that, but lichen does not - I suspect because the length of the title (including full URL links) exceeds the allowed title length so it stops parsing the text.
