Mr Meta-Facebook is throwing his weight around, desperately trying to have this book withdrawn (he is a big supporter of free speech) so obviously it's best others don't read it or share this information... he's already... errrm... 'obtained' an injunction preventing the author from further promoting it herself.

Hey everyone 
take a listen to another book reading from within the Elder Scrolls world, this time from Skyrim on the topic of the ever-elusive Nightingales 
Unlike the first two reading videos (which were clips taken from recent live streams), today, I decided to see how recording it from scratch would feel. I went through the text of the book itself to weed out various errors, recorded it in a way that minimised recording errors, and then further added a little treatment to clean up the audio

@pluralistic I’m reading chapter 12 of Chokepoint Capitalism and it’s really sad to see how we are very far away from fair antitrust policies, especially now with an oligarchical government run by the Big Tech. It’s somehow disheartening.

@securingdev@infosec.exchangeI just want to say that visiting a library with an exhibition of the oldest printed books in the world was way cooler than I expected it to be 
Been a while since I posted an extract from the current novel in (slow) progress. So here you go.
On prejudice, people and finding perfection in imperfection.
