Just finished "The Melancholy of Summer" by Louisa Onomé. It's an excellent book about parental abandonment, rejecting and accepting help, and friendship, set in Toronto. There were a few threads that didn't quite get wrapped up by the end, but the ending wasn't dissatisfying, and the writing is excellent, particularly TV gee dialogue and the narration of Summer's thoughts. I felt like the strategic use of stutters both gave the main character extra vulnerability, but also helped subtly clue the reader into moments where Summer's perception of her interlocutors doesn't match their real feelings. Between this and "Like Home", I feel like Onomé's novels are a bit rough around the edges, yet they're still some of the most enjoyable books I've been reading, probably because she's pours so much humanity into her characters and lets their honest desire for something better rub off on the audience.

So Bitvise, the developer of an SSH client that competes with PuTTY, the widely-used open-source SSH and Telnet client, somehow got hold of the domain putty.org and is using it to promote its own products.
Here's how Bitvise responded to a tech blogger/journalist who wrote about this situation.

My point here is not to chide, but to note the system of incentives that keeps money flowing to authoritarians.
They’re winning by making less ethical decisions easy and responsible alternatives difficult if not impossible.
This isn’t just a consumer and social media problem; so much of mainstream journalism today is motivated by professional respectability
— which doesn’t necessarily mean lying, but taking the path of least resistance:
avoiding certain topics or la…
