I have to vote for Martine.
This is a very good selection of books, but I would like for "classic" sci-fi to have it's own category. I love Hyperion, necromancer and the expanse series, but I think they start to choke out newer/fringe books. Especially if the the plan is to vote on what book is next.
I'm not a Nazi, but I know all of the details of their policies.
I mean, I heard about Nazis, and while I don't agree with the ethnic cleansing, I just had to know what their tax policies looked like.
Because it is.
Left click on zombie has better graphics, and that's it.
For me Dwarf fortress is like watching TV, nethack is like reading a book.
I feel like I'll watching some bizarre sitcom with such great stories as "dwarven child sees an elephant trample a goblin and then gets possessed, keeps making bone carvings of the scene, and then gathers all the elephant meat in a forge and kills three grown men by slapping them with meat." I'm not anyone in that story, but it's fun to watch.
Nethack is like getting to know the quirks of your character as they narrowly escape death.
Fuck Microsoft, switch to Linux
Absolutely. But I wouldn't hold my breath on companies actually stopping use of MS.
The issue is new users.
If you have a vague understanding that Linux has distros and to switch to Linux, you'll likely Google "best Linux distro." Results that say "they all are good for different reasons" are unhelpful. Having sort through 50 options isn't helpful.
New users want to know what to install. This means that some distros get hyped up as the best, and then people point out the cracks.
Until there is a clear and objective list of distros with pros and cons labeled the cycle will continue.
I think that might be our difference. I use office programs all of the time. I dislike several things about office, formatting is tedious and difficult, combining multiple files isn't the best, features that used to exist get rolled back and are more difficult to use to name a few. There are programs that do single aspects of office a whole lot better, like LaTeX, but they don't really replace office.
I'd like to break free from MS, but unless something really innovative comes out I don't see it being better for me.
I haven't used LibreOffice for about 5 years, but my experience 5 years ago was that MSOffice was a better program. PowerPoint's auto design wizard alone has saved me dozens of hours making presentations.
I want libre to as good or better, but it just isn't there.
My team recently finished the PDR for an astroid lander, this picture is surprisingly accurate.
Why not just come out and say "hey I 3D sculpt orcs, toss me $2 a month for orcs"?
I'm sure no one wants this to turn into a people pushing their personal stores, but that's a rad orc and you aren't anywhere close to spamming yet.
The best way to describe those books is "subtle."
I loved them, and translation state feels like the start of a new series in the same universe. The worst part is how often Anaander Mianaai is written and how that many 'a's just fail to compute in my head.
