He's been arrested, not sentenced. That's the innocent until proven guilty bit.

Not sure where you are from, but I suspect not the UK.

Dan Simmons, Hyperion... Or Carrion Comfort.

I'd love to see some modern tries at Dashiel Hammet's work too.

Wild but there are quite a few out there who don't believe he is the real pope...

Sedevantists

A main scholar of such is Mel Gibson's dad.

The forgotten generation. Little chance of owning a hone or a business, skipped over for work.

Still, at least we have spent our whole lives learning to be slackers.

Yeah, some folks don't get sarcasm, huh?

Will people please stop using lazy as a synonym for bad writing?

There are so many reasons why someone might be bad at writing and many of them are far from "lazy".

If there's in thing about us lazy folk, it is being able to write as concisely as possible to conserve energy.

Not only is the use of "lazy" rude it is uninformed.

And will people please stop using "uninformed" as a synonym for people who aren't very smart.

There are so many reasons why...

Just realised I'm old enough to have seen this go through three cycles of internet memes.

It should have a sign on it like "est. 2002" or something.

Yeah, and fractions of that stone? Pounds.

So like 10 stone 5 pounds.

Or, conversely, just switch to Linux.

Take an hour or so to have a look around the place.

Go on the internet if you have any questions.

People are smarter than you assume and if you want Linux to grow in popularity we need to stop pretending any if this is difficult.

 

When I use the internet to learn, I don't want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.

I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.

I'm old. Learning is hard enough.

Hello, long time listener, first time caller...

I just wanted to say hi. I'm very much interested in the grain, the unplanned and the documentary when it comes to analogue photography.

This one was shot on fomapan 400 and an Optima 335 that I've had in my jacket pocket for a while.

 

Long time listener, first time caller.

My first post to Lemmy is a piece of modernist music I've made for three synthesizers.

In this case, I used a Behringer Pro-1, an Uno Synth, and a Volca Keys.

I'm very much interested in repetition and emergent rhythms. Feel free to share some of your own work if you think I'd be into it.
