Reading Cold Days by Jim Butcher, the 14th book in Dresden Files series.

Another super busy week, so pretty much still at the same place as last week.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Here because of Enshittification by Cory Doctorow. Moving on to "This non-violent stuff'll get you killed" by Charles E. Cobb Jr.

How did you like Enshittification?

Reads like an extended infodump, good analysis throughout, although I do critique some turns of phrase preferred by the author (eg. calling non-internet users "Normies").

As much as the author tries backs away from it in the conclusion, it reads as a critique of late stage capitalism as a whole, unsurprisingly.

I highly recommend.
