As I’ve never used FB and have no intention, I welcome an alternative, although based on the dearth of posts it doesn’t seem as thought much is going on at the moment.
Although maybe the launch had good timing with so many isolated these days.
Let’s hope something comes of it.
Hi from the US Trevor. I’ve had an EV for a year and would not consider going back. I’m new the morning to WTC and am equally new to “social media”. Not really my thing but I want to support anything that pushes back on FB.
Not that being cooped up in the house has anything to do with it :-).
I’m new to WTC this morning and was wondering about the reCAPTCHAs. As today it’s only a checkbox it seems less onerous that what was described above. Has it changed?
I enjoy SF written by scientists who extrapolate their understanding to a future state. Alastair Reynolds fits that bill for me. Vernor Vinge is another. The latter comes up with some imaginative ideas and constructs. In “A Fire Upon The Deep” he has different laws of physics as you move up from the plane of a galaxy, so for example, faster-than-light travel is possible far above the galaxy disk and as you descend to the disk you start to enter “the slowness”.
Is this what one would call “hard SF”?
I’m not a social media fan; I’ve never been on FB and don’t intend too. Still I see value in connection and trust (and support) Wikipedia. Here’s hoping something comes of this.
