My secret shame is that I lowkey love the Rama sequels, though I fully acknowledge that they are political soap operas in space and tonally absolutely nothing like the original.

Linux@programming.dev•Convinced my partner to install Linux on her laptop. Going with Zorin OS. Thoughts?English
2·3 days agoThis was my exact journey, though I eventually landed on immutable Fedora with KDE. Zorin is a great OS but it’s in a weird space because it’s probably already too simple for anyone who knows what Linux is.
Because nobody has suggested it yet, Blindsight and Echopraxia are excellent.
I really liked The Gripping Hand though I agree it’s difficult to reach the level of excellence that is The Mote in God’s Eye.

6·4 days agoYeah, they also mentioned that it was difficult to capture it in photos:
The facial sculpt by Dean Tolliver features an enigmatic smile typical of the character, and like a lot of EXO’s sculpts, this one is hard to capture just in photographs.
