I’m going for Michael Moorcock’s “Dancers at the End of Time” series. In the far future, Earth’s human population is like 120 immortal people who possess science that is indistinguishable from magic, powered by some kind of Dyson Sphere. They’ve long forgotten how the tech works and lead lives of leisure in which their main activity is amusing each other. Although old (1970s, I think), it feels contemporary in that is has many gender-fluid elements and seems like the kind of world tech bros dream of. It has a Sci-fi premise but it’s pure Famtas It’s philosophical and also quite funny.


I’ve been perfectly happy with AppImageInstaller. It’s an easy way to generate .desktop files and has a provision for manual AppImage updates. It’s worked without any issues for all (only six) of the AppImages I’ve installed. I hadn’t heard of GearLever but now I’ll give a try.
