They work well enough and don’t suffer the same risk of death by service.

Album from Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman "Almost A Sunset"
https://open.spotify.com/album/2VmR757Ru6qAQOUXLk2E7o?si=O0uMcRrjQrOa57_gOWFciw
Lovely tunes, just the right mix of folky vocals and guitar. The Lakeman family has some gosh darned talent, and no mistake.

I was being somewhat flippant with my original remarks on this, but it does actually seem to be so that Microsoft are about to lock down Minecraft Java chat unless citizens upload their faces and IDs to some sketchy third party.
Part of the problem with laws like this is, even if it's really easy (I could probably write a client side mod to bust this on Java), the fact that I'd be breaking the law to do so has a chilling effect.

trim LinkSeems like the UK are blocking Minecraft Java chat unless you send your selfie to some “trusted” party (trusted by whom?) by February. Might affect the “legality” of our chat mod? I dunno man....Seems like the UK are blocking Minecraft Java chat unless you send your selfie to some “trusted” party (trusted by whom?) by February.
Might affect the “legality” of our chat mod? I dunno man. I’ll just refrain from chatting.

trim Link ParentI'm sorry no. I never share pictures outside of family, which basically happens over iMessage or Signal. Actually that's not quite true, I've made a link to a small album to send to someone...Do you have recommendation that are reasonable and accessible?
I'm sorry no. I never share pictures outside of family, which basically happens over iMessage or Signal.
Actually that's not quite true, I've made a link to a small album to send to someone instead of emailing photos. I could do the same from my Nextcloud photos as well I suppose. The point I think is, that I don't post pictures for public consumption.
It's just that now, if imgur is used, I can't view anyone else's either :)

I was sold this saga by friends on the basis of it being a mil series. I've just read 2 books in a row (Cetaganda and Ethan) which are like Cadfael or Columbo in space. Not mil.
So it wasn't what I was looking for but... Can't put them down basically. So all good :)

I guess it works fine for the ROW. shrugWell the way around it is not to use imgur, I suppose. But that would require the ROW to do it so I'm not hopeful. I guess it works fine for the ROW. shrug

trim Link ParentI think imgur is broke. Notwithstanding that it's forbidden to use that site in the UK, it seems from my world travels on the internet that it just doesn't load at all. Over Capacity.

Or maybe it's still my end :(
Edit: it seems imgur are detecting and blocking vpns to give the over capacity error, and as I say, we're banned from using imgur in the UK so I guess that's that.
The only Sanderson series I have read is Cytoverse. Enjoyed it well enough. I’m more of a sci-fi than fantasy person. Anything else worth checking out?
