It could be a secondary account, but I would guess that it's the one they currently belong to? @kbin.cafe

I think I would be okay with 8-10 year iterations. 3-4 years is a ridiculous money grab. I haven't owned an XBOX since the 360 though, so...

Interesting. I'm adding Wool to my read list, but just realized there is a TV show starting for that series too. :)

I felt the same way about the Bobiverse books, they read so easily and so quickly! Same with the Murderbot books, actually. I think Artificial Condition was my favorite so far. 'Art' was such a great addition to the story overall.

I just finished the 4th and last available book in the Bobiverse series Heaven's River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on diverging/drifting personality differences of the replicants. I'd still recommend it though, it feels like a natural progression from where the story began.

I also read through The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu (translated). This one was very different than your typical sci-fi. Very political, conspiratorial, and at times very dry. In the end I very much enjoyed the story, but it felt like 2 disparate plot lines that didn't really coalesce. It was also the second book I've read in the last month that didn't resolve any of the main story conflict in the first book and requires reading the next book to get closure... Not a fan of that sort of ending.

There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month... (ICU Nurse)

Agreed, stepping down is a bit heavy handed. There are a lot of moving parts, it's okay to take time for your self and let others take up the reigns temporarily if you need to. I've seen quite a lot of merges on the core recently - so it's obvious things are moving in the right direction.

Yeah, I'm still seeing this bug when trying to post a thread or a picture post. "Link" posting seems to work alright though, but I can't post any other type of content... It's been this way for about a month. I'm sort of losing interest since I can't really post threads - I can only comment.

It's ridiculous that I can pay for MLB TV and the ONLY game I'm unable to watch is my local team...

I finished For We Are Many by Dennis Taylor - and about halfway through All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor. This is the third book in the series, and third I'm reading in 3 weeks - they are so much fun. The most enjoyable reads I've been through in a while!

I also just added Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons to my kindle today. I'm really hoping for some closure from this book. I was really put-off by the complete lack of any resolution in the last book - just one big lead up.

[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. I've read Hitchhikers Guide several times but have never continued the series. I'm not sure why, but I'm having a bit of trouble focusing on this audiobook. Maybe because it seem to be a lot of random explanations about unnecessary things...

 

Let's try this as a 'Link' this week; it seems 'Thread' and 'Photo' posts aren't being created correctly and aren't federating.

To add to this; because of how federation works, having an account on artemis.camp gets you access to the same content using the app.

This was totally the answer - it appears having any instance blocked at all is causing threads to be filtered out of view, even my own. Unblocking all domains fixes the issue for me and there are a LOT more recent posts than I was seeing previously.

Could anyone assist in how to report this problem as an issue on codeberg?

I was only able to post this as a "Link"

Strangely, a post is made as I can view it from my profile, but it's just not visible in the magazine unless I log out.

Here is the error I receive.
The post is visible in my profile.
Not visible in the magazine.
Unless I log out, then it IS visible ...

I just don't know how to word this to report an issue. It's so strange.

I have not been able to post "Thread" or "Photo" for over a week. There is another post about this as well, but it doesn't seem to be seen by many either.

 

Is there any chance that we can get a weekly/biweekly, or periodic, update on what is new with kbin? @ernest has done a couple in the past. I doubt I would be the only one interested in hearing what is new or what is coming down the pipe more on a regular basis.

I'm aware that I can look at the codeberg and see what is being worked on, but I'm not quite as dev saavy as a lot of you are and really appreciate some plain spoken explainers sometimes.

If not, that's cool too. I just thought it might help keep people involved and retain users if we could see a list of exciting new additions, updates, and things to look forward to.

 

Does the option to add an image via URL not work? I have tried in both Brave and Firefox desktop browsers and the Brave mobile app - clicking the "From URL" or "Upload File" doesn't appear to do anything.

The only thing that does anything from this menu is clicking the filepath to upload a file from local.

Am I missing something?
