The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling by Ted Chiang
Chiang is a great author, and I enjoyed everything I read but him so far. I started the mentioned short story but him, and all felt comfortable and interesting, and I thought already like I knew where this was going, and then, approximately just after the middle of the story, there are suddenly two sentences that shredder and shock me and I have to stop reading and process.
I really want to continue reading, but physically c…

Okay, now this is getting interesting... I admit I haven't tried Linux on my T490s in quite a while, after my earlier attempts to get the built-in 5G modem to work failed.
Following yesterday’s controversy over why, in my attempt to boycott U.S. products and services, I’d choose Microsoft over Fedora of all things (because, as I said, I need Windows for work—just like any other common operating system), I installed a different SSD today just for fun and put the latest beta of Fedo…

I'm sorry, was it always that obvious a technology was fake and a bubble? If so, I seriously condemn all past generations for falling for this voodoo, crypto, nft, fusion reactor, new element nonsense.

I went out on a limb a bit. I talked about how in the course of teaching college I'd known several students through the length of their transition, before and after — and in every one of those cases, it felt like a weight had lifted, like there was this feeling of “Ah!! •That’s• who you are!” Like when they cleaned the Sistine Chapel, when they lifted this layer of grime away, and suddenly there were all these incredible colors.
He grabbed my hand with both of his, looked me straight in the eye, and said with sudden earnestness, “Paul, I agree •completely•. Thank you. Thank you.”

Folk who've been following me for a long time will remember that last autumn I was posting pictures of doing the joinery for a new workshop. And then I went mad, and got ill, and for most of this year there's been no progress.
But my friend Lucy has been here for a week, and between the two of us the frame is now erected. Now I need to sort the timber stack (which hasn't been improving while I've been ill), erect a roof, and build some walls. But the bit I couldn't …

Lucy standing in front of the north end truss, which has just been erected and its tenons forced into their mortices with a Spanish windlass. The truss is held upright by temporary diagonal braces. Between the pillars, various carpentry tools lie on a very chaotic timber stack.
The footing of one pillar of the south end truss on an old tree stump. The reason the building is so crooked is because it's foundations are the stumps of four trees that were blown down in Storm Arwen.
General view of the newly erected frame from its north east corner. The chaotic pile of sawn timber runs through it from north to south. Beyond, the trees on the edges of the wood are still standing, but most of the centre was blown flat in the storm, and new young trees are only slowly beginning to grow through the remaining wreckage.
Looking down on the new frame from my bedroom window. One of the new top rails still needs to be cut to length, and there's at least one brace still missing (I'll add more if I think they're needed. This is enormous progress, and a weatherproof workshop will be a great improvement to my quality of life.

I couldn't decide what to do today and where to go. I got up too late for a longer hike due to the heat. In the end I just got on my bike and followed the road and pushed myself for some training effect.
It was a really enjoyable ride except for the last 10km where the heat got really annoying.
Is this a #silentsunday contribution? I think so... No talking, less thinking, j…

The Trump administration’s aid freeze cut it in January 2025."

This is an interview with Lilly Wachowski. Variety Magazine felt the need to also copy/paste a contrary statement by JKR's publicity team.
I get that journalists want to report all the voices, but it feels in terrible taste to append JKR's response *in the same page* as Ms. Wachowski's interview.
