The original Atkinson Hyperlegible (without Next) is available by default on some Kobo e-readers. I use it for a few months now and I find that indeed it helps reading at night (or without my glasses because it's nice to remove them from time to time).

Same in Belgium, no scale involved, just a handled scanner you bring in the shop. At checkout you give (or put back depending on the supermarket) the scanner, then an algorithm tell you if you're elected to a partial control (in which case a cashier scan some of the articles, again there are some rules depending on the brand of supermarket - some ask rescan 5 random products, some 10, some explicitly list most valuable items, some require the cashier to count items,...). I say an algorithm because experience show it's not just random (for example in the supermarket brand I most often go, if you cancel an item on the scanner, you're 100% sure to have a control).
Finished Too Late, by Colleen Hoover. Well I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand it's a good page turner with some suspens and so on. But I was a bit uneasy about the over occurrence of sexual relations described with a too high level of detail. At times, I wondered if I was reading a psychological triller or the scenario of a porn movie... I think this was done in order to describe the horror of the main bad character but it was just too much and unnecessary in my opinion.
Well I don't know yet what to read next, I'll look up maybe here if something please me.
Edit: I think I'll go for The Antidote, by Karen Russell. Seems to have some good reviews.
Finished the second novel of The Housemaid series: The Housemaid's secret, by Freida McFadden. While it's written with the same literary structure as the first one, it is also a gripping and surprising novel. I found it to be even better than the first book in the series, as it's much more difficult to predict what will happen next. The biggest issue with the first novel was the ending, which seemed more reliant on luck and wasn't very realistic in my opinion. However, the ending in this one is much better and more satisfying.
I'm currently reading the third, The Housemaid is watching and it's also gripping and fast paced.
That's how I started last (2024) year, rereading all that good Tolkien's stuff, Bilbo, lotr, the silmarillion,... It's really the kind of masterpiece, you can always "discover" new details and links every single time you read it...
I just finished The Housemaid, by Freida McFadden and found it to be a gripping page-turner, very quick to read, and thoroughly enjoyable. However, I was a bit disappointed by the ending, which didn't quite match the level of the rest of the book. It seemed like the author struggled to find a satisfying conclusion. As is often the case with such an engrossing read, the ending can feel a bit underwhelming. Perhaps an 'open' ending would have been a better choice.
I just started The Housemaid's Secret by Freida McFadden, continuing with the series and hoping it will be equally gripping.

I agree with you on all points about the science in Hail Mary. However, what bothered me more was the strict, predictable alternation between past and present. This rigid structure detracted from my overall enjoyment of the novel, making the narrative feel somewhat monotonous and, at times, overly predictable.
On the other hand, The Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Cixin Liu was a real favorite for me.
Just finished Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir. Nice sci-fi, well wrote, page turner, for sure not the best in its genre but it's quite a nice novel to spend a bit of time.
Next read will be The housemaid, by Freida McFadden and, if I enjoy, I'll read the two others of the serie.
Finished a set of 3 books in French (my native language) which are a kind of memoir from a Belgian coroner (my country), Philippe Boxho.
Started Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir. Took this one because I see it at top of hardcover trending list for a while.
Based on the awesome job of [email protected] documenting the stuff and applying it to solarized, I tried to do the same with my vim favorite theme: everforest. It's far from perfect (I'm not at all a designer), feel free to improve your way (and share updates in comments). The zinc theme is probably more refined because I use only this one, I tried to make slate match the palette but as I'm not using it it's more difficult.

Number of (active) Lemmy users seems to stabilize and I think this is a great thing. Indeed we got a lot of users when reddit shutdown its API (I was among them despite being a long time oss user), many have left, but the community seems now to stabilize to ~ ½ of the big grow in june '23. I think this is very nice for lemmy, we can be proud of this project.
