The prevalence of AI generated content will eventually influence the language patterns of people too young to know what a pure human generated media environment is.
That's when it's going to get really weird.
It's absurd that anyone would use this. You are asking to be rugged.
If you outsource the creation of your private key, you have no assurance that your security isn't compromised.
This is a fantastic quote regardless of the source.
I hope you enjoy it, I loved the world building. For my tastes it's an exquisite balance of great characters, politics, magic, and romance.
If you are ever curious, it is some of her best work, and I was once a huge fan of Rawn.
Exiles: the ruins of Ambrai
The Mageborn Traitor
She suffered from very severe long term depression during that time and she's been direct about how she's tried to finish the book but just isn't able to me tally revisit that story because of the associations.
It's worth reading if you go into it knowing it'll never complete. If you aren't into masochism but are curious about her as an author, the Dragon Prince trilogy is also very good and fully published.
I'm still (forever) waiting for The Captal's Tower by Melanie Rawn. It'll never come to pass though. I sympathize deeply.
I want to read it so bad, but after being burned by Martin, I won't touch a series unless there's high confidence the series will be completed within a year.
I changed it with Stormlight Archives because Sanderson is a machine when it comes to writing but Rothfuss is nothing but red flags. I look forward to diving in when it's eventually published.
I want to be careful with my wording here. I enjoy the books enough to purchase them and read, but his writing style, particularly the dialogue, falls very flat for me and a lot of that has to do with how he shoehorns 'witty' exchanges in.
His world building has great breadth but little depth. Taken as a whole, it feels artificial and 'color-by-numbers' if that makes sense. LotR and WoT feel extremely organic as it unfolds to the reader by comparison.
I have similar critiques about Mistborn, and his wrap up of WoT so I think it's a style thing that just doesn't jive with me.
I am appreciative of his work though. I wept when Jordan died. Partly from losing such an amazing voice and storyteller, and partly from thinking we would never have a completed story. Sanderson helped give us that, however flawed.
I can't provide a full answer because I've never read Potter, NotW, or Earthsea.
That said my -personal preference- for the whole package overall ( style, world building, structure, characters, plot, etc) would be:
WoT
LotR
Narnia*
Stormlight*
* It's been over 20 years since I read Narnia, I'm drawing from very old impressions.
*Currently reading Stormlight, book 3. Enjoyable but I have criticisms about it that drop it below what I would consider a 'classic'
All I was able to find from a quick search was a write-up from a think tank on the topic from 2018. Lots of good argumentation provided.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I'm not at all knowledgeable on how this protocol works in technical terms.
Would it be possible to build a limiter like what twitter has where people you dont follow can't reply or otherwise engage with you?
If people who are harassed are given control to consent to social interactions as a starting point, that might be worth considering.
Yep. I am unbothered by it. Other people's shitty choices are not my concern, even when they try 😂
Oooof. Good decisions, but still painful 😢
I will replace a mattress, shoes, and tires during the depths of the worst bear market when sats are the cheapest they'll ever be.
Never fuck around and find out when it comes to the things that separate you from the ground 🫡
We don't spend much time on it, it's really the only reason we haven't thrown the thing out.
I value her health (and our marriage) more than sats 💯
n-acetyl-cystine (NAC) - a powerful anti inflammatory and antioxidant amino acid. If you have chronic inflammation issues this is a very useful tool. It chelates heavy metals so it's important to supplement zinc/copper if you take this long term.
Black seed oil (satella nigella) - anti inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral (contains thymoquinone), immune system booster, shortens duration of colds and flus, and has a list of other benefits that goes on and on. I take this during illness and also before and during travel as a prophylactic.
My wife and I have this couch we've owned and used for 15 years. It's broken in multiple places, sags, and is hell on our backs.
She's been asking for years for a replacement. I finally told her that we will later this bull run 😂
