I have been using Storygraph for a couple of years now and really like it. Exported my Goodreads data and imported it into Storygraph. There was some cleanup I had to do, as Goodreads was often missing start / end dates for reading history.
What I really like about Storygraph is that it's not bloated the way that Goodreads is. The interface is clean and fairly easy to navigate and it has very few unwanted features. The stats are cool too. https://app.thestorygraph.com/stats/hybridhavoc?year=2024

@scratch There is a translate feature built in, but it requires that your instance have configured it, since it utilizes a a third-party service for the translation. You reach out to your instance admin to ask about it.

@jay91 Group support appears to be in the works. In the mean-time, people on Mastodon can still follow group accounts and those group accounts will boost posts into their followers' feeds. For example, that's how I saw this post to reply to.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard [https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win](https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win) From the article, quoting Judge Corley: ... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

Yeah he seems to be back in the swing of things. He's even managed a quick turnaround on some videos recently which makes me wonder if he's intentionally made changes to his workflow to enable that. I know with season 1 he quickly got behind because he puts so much work into his videos.

Death Gate Cycle is a classic, dragonlance-like fantasy. It takes itself noticeably less serious than WoT. But it's pretty fun, good cast of characters.
It's the first fantasy series I ever read so it holds a special place for me, even if WoT is my favorite.

@Landrin201 Ultimately, I have to say A Memory of Light is my favorite. Followed closely by Lord of Chaos.
A Memory of Light was just the final payoff of the whole series, and a story that had been with me for nearly 20 years. While I’ve only read this one twice, it definitely had the biggest emotional impact.
Lord of Chaos just had so much happen in it, it’s really easy to see why it’s a common fan favorite.

Oh no worries on that, I did. Luckily the drive I was replacing was just for media, not for the OS, but I decided to go with a 2.5” SATA drive for it. My OS drive and games drive were both already NVME M.2 drives.
Speaking of slow computers though, I recently reinstalled MacOS on an iMac from like 2012… It was excruciatingly slow, even just to boot into the OS. I do not miss those days.
