OMG OMG I forgot that I had to read Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao. Good thing I found the audiobook in my library's catalog! Snagged it!
hmmm. Got a marketing email from ngrok and can't open any of the links because hubspot links are blocked. Is there a service that follows through and gets me the real links? None of the url expander services seem to work with those.
@japchap always please report those messages as scam, if that's an option. Aggregate scam message reporting puts pressure on authorities and vendors to do something about them - and leads to things like scam centres being raided - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/myanmars-military-says-it-has-raided-a-second-major-online-scam-center

@matigo they're not just in the browser. I get scams on SMS, Telegram, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn too! An all-rounded experience!
@matigo I actually don't remember what the alien ship was described as in the book, so seeing the visual was a very nice surprise!
I absolutely love it that even if I step in and say that, hey, maybe I want to open this horrible tracking link, NextDNS steps in and calls me out on it, blocking the request. Then I realize I was about to get tracked and can go back and find a proper link. Exceptional service for an absurdly good price!
OMG OMG OMG Project Hail Mary is getting a movie! AWESOME!
And seeing Rocky in the second trailer was just… pure joy!
@matigo I don't remember what the exact news was, but linked below was the post I read which prompted me to say that. I dare say there's always more scope for enshittification.
