Len started reading Most na Drini by Ivo Andrić
Len finished reading Working Girl by Sophia Giovannitti
I guess that biggest impression that the book left on me was the treatment difference between artist and high-end sex workers and low-income marginalized sex workers who are criminalized and persecuted. The last essay on meaning was too "anarchist" for my taste and I missed a class perspective.
Len started reading Emacs Lisp - An Introduction by Robert J. Chassell
Will hopefully help decrease impostor syndrome on Emacs User Group Slovenia Meetups.
Len quoted Working Girl by Sophia Giovannitti
But: I do not believe the erotic and the intellectual must be separated, and I am curious to cross and recross the boundary between the politicized reader and the voyeur, the ally and the client, the whore and the writer.

Bad
Vulgar, moralist, liberal, classic western criticism of Soviet Union. Boring in idea and in style. Such a waste of time.

My favorite Strugacki brothers' book so far. The medieval atmosphere is described so well you can almost smell the dirt and rot.

I gathered a small collection of Strugacki brothers' works :) Hard to be a god is supposedly their most known novel.
Len finished reading ActivityPub by Evan Prodromou
ActivityPub is the new standard for connecting social networks together on the social web. This …
Gives a very nice overview of ActivityStreams2.0, ActivityPub API for clients and AP protocol.
I read a pre-published version which had some small errors in code examples and I wasn't able to set up the ap python example client that's menitioned in the book on my GNU/Linux machine. For me personally the nodejs AP server examples were also hard to understand since I avoid javascript whenever I can.
Next steps for me are reading the code of projects I'll understand, referring to landrok/activitypub php library, the activitypub and activitystreams drupal modules, pixelfed etc. This activitypub development list also looks delightful: codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-activitypub-development

The story is quite short and a quick read. It is based on a similar concept as Roadside picnic but doesn't build as good of an atmosphere as Roadside picnic does. I'm looking forward to read The Time Wanderers (which are also translated in Slovene) and Hard to be a God and then I'll have quite a good overview over Strugacki brothers.
