I've been out of town for the last 4 days, so I didn't get much reading in. I did finish reading All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor however. I've also read about 50% through the 4th and final book in the series Heaven's River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on the personality of the main character and forces some self-reflection on 'him' and his clones.

I was also able to finish listening to:
[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. It ended so abruptly, and didn't really seem to have an overall plot, it just sort of meandered until the auther was like 'Alright, I'mma head out'... I'm not sure I liked this one, honestly. There was a lot of abruptly stopping the story progression to examine some random topic in detail.

There is an extension called "Social Fixer" that brings back the sort by new and allows you to filter out all the 'sponsored' and 'suggested' bullshit. It's not being actively updated anymore, but it still works fine.

It's ridiculous that I can pay for MLB TV and the ONLY game I'm unable to watch is my local team...

I finished For We Are Many by Dennis Taylor - and about halfway through All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor. This is the third book in the series, and third I'm reading in 3 weeks - they are so much fun. The most enjoyable reads I've been through in a while!

I also just added Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons to my kindle today. I'm really hoping for some closure from this book. I was really put-off by the complete lack of any resolution in the last book - just one big lead up.

[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. I've read Hitchhikers Guide several times but have never continued the series. I'm not sure why, but I'm having a bit of trouble focusing on this audiobook. Maybe because it seem to be a lot of random explanations about unnecessary things...

To add to this; because of how federation works, having an account on artemis.camp gets you access to the same content using the app.

This was totally the answer - it appears having any instance blocked at all is causing threads to be filtered out of view, even my own. Unblocking all domains fixes the issue for me and there are a LOT more recent posts than I was seeing previously.

I don't think @ actually pings a notification to users. He does respond to direct messages sometimes though.

Not sure if it is a coincidence, but that is the same domain I had blocked as well - unblocking fixed the issue for me too.

Sadly, I don't think that these threads and comments are even visible to those who don't know this is happening... I was not able to see any of the threads until unblocking all domains.

Here to confirm that I was having this issue too - at @e569668 's advice I unblocked a domain that I had blocked and now I am able to see a LOT more threads that I was previously unable to view in magazines. I wasn't even able to view my own threads in magazine.

It appears having ANY domain blocked erroneously filters out threads not at all associated with those domains.

Oh wow. I could not see any of those other threads about the issue either! Now I see a bunch of them after unblocking that domain.

This week:

I just finished For We Are Many by Dennis Taylor - and about to start on All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor. This is the third book in the series, and third I'm reading in 3 weeks - they are so much fun. The most enjoyable reads I've been through in a while!

[Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. I've read Hitchhikers Guide several times but have never continued the series.

Reposting last week, cause I'm not sure if that thread is messed up or not...

I finished Abaddon's Gate by James Corey yesterday. I still maintain the TV show is better than the books, but this is the first place I've seen divergence from the main story. I don't recall seeing Samara or Pa in the TV show, but they played a pretty big part in this book. I think Camina Drummer was introduced in the TV show in place of Pa, and there was a lot of overlap of Bull's story that they gave to Camina in the show. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Camina is one of my favorite characters, but a lot of her badassery was tacked on and is attributed to other characters in the book. Ashford though, they made him likable in the TV show, and I will never forgive book version. :|

I finished Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells earlier this week. Quick read, It's book 3 in the Murderbot series. All of them have been fun so far. I'm really enjoying seeing "Consultant Wren" start to connect with others.

[Audio] I also listened to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams; read by Stephen Fry. I've read this book a couple of times over the years, and was interested in hearing Stephen Fry narrate it. I was not disappointed. :)

I started, and finished, We Are Legion (We are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor last night. First off, "WOW!" This one was a lot of fun. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys sci-fi with a sense of humor. Lots of nerdy fandom references and jokes for those of us who grew up on sci-fi TV/Movies and live in a constant state of regurgitating pop culture references.
