"dnf download --resolve" FTW

I just tried to read a fantasy cosy with a remarkably dark opening for a cosy. That’s not what made me DNF, I like cosies with actual plots.

The lead was in thrall to a dark lord, Force-choked his prisoner, and bore a remarkable resemblance to Kylo Ren. I dont mind fanfic, I bitterly resent thinly disguised fanfic which is repackaged into a published book but not owned upfront. But that’s not what made me DNF.

I DNF because the lead character had an incredibly inauthentic reaction to what amounts to being forced to be a child-soldier. Those people really exist out there in the world, living with their very real and deep trauma. If you’re going to use the scenario as your glib backstory, at least do your damn research. And if you want to keep it light and cosy, for the love of god, *different backstory*. But you can’t have all the dark attractive bits of a poor tortured Kylo Ren and then not properly deal with the trauma.

Is it illegal for the Queer Romance Club coordinator to DNF the monthly selection

I’ve tried, I’ve really tried, but it’s just too contemporary for me. By which I mean it opens in a lead character’s workplace* and then does a whole bunch of backstory infodump for each character at the start, and I can’t push past it.

I should stress it’s not a bad book, but I just need books I can immediately vanish into without friction right now.

For frame of reference, i also noped out of a Wordle-inspired romance mostly because I couldn’t stand how the FMC solved wordles — but also she thinks the MMC is boring, and Lo and behold, the author sure did make him boring (I’m a hypocrite because I was last seen complaining about a MMC being a dick, it’s a narrow, narrow path the leads of m/f romances have to tread with me).

I am currently trying Jewel Me Twice, by Charish Reid, which is not queer but which at least is a Black author and a Black FMC, is a contemporary but the “workplace” is heists. I’ll see how I go.

*the only contemporary I’ve read that gets away with this is Boyfriend Material because the workplace is *directly* relevant to the plot (not just “look how stressed and busy I am at my boring office job”, you know, like everyone else), and the co-workers are hilarious.

Instead of saving up all of my DNFs (books I didn't finish) until the end of the year, I'm thinking of posting about them monthly (if there are any) and keeping them collected for the year in this thread.

So, to start, here are some of my January reading letdowns:

"Het smelt" by Lize Spit

A Belgian book, the English translation is called 'The Melting'. Kind of Dimitri Verhulst, in a modern jacket. I don't like it and I gave up. Lots of scenes of abuse and sexual assault that I didn't want to sit through.

I laughed a lot when some Dutch-speaking reviewer called it 'pipi kaka-verhaaltjes', which literally translates into 'peepee poopoo stories'. It's because this book combines every lowbrow, tacky, lower-class, farmer, countryside cliché that Flemish culture is known for by itself into one. I'm not sure if a foreign language reader would interpret it as such, but anyone familiar here must be cringing at least twice per page. It's not necessarily all untrue but... I couldn't take it very seriously.

Still making pipikaka-jokes with my partner about anything stereotypical we encounter to this day and laughing heartily about it.

"How China Escaped Shock Therapy" by Isabella M. Weber

Fascinating book, a topic I'm very interested in. But I found out that apparently I'm not interested enough to wrestle myself through an incredibly academic, dry text about it (sorry, author, nothing personal, please don't take offense). My pea brain rolled under the fridge and refused to deal with the hundreds of pages that were left for me according to my ereader. Please, someone else read this and explain it to me like I'm 5 years old so I can enjoy the information too.

#OleLuonaniAina suunnilleen puoliväliin lueskeltu ja en minä ehkä vain jaksa tätä. Tämä on tällaista murupolun seuraamista paljastuksesta toiselle ja tunnelma on ankea ja ankeammaksi vain menee, kaikesta päätellen. Katson wikipediasta tiivistelmän. #DNF pinoon. #KirjaMastodon

#Homebrew is only popular bcos there's no real "alternative" - in reality, it's a really crappy package manager. I've never had any issues with any package managers, ever, including #Pacman and #Yay on #ArchLinux, #Apt on #Debian based distros, #Dnf or #Yum on #RHEL based distros, or heck even #Chocolatey when I was still using #Windows. Brew tho on #macOS, too many times.

Fedora Users: when you install your initial set of utils, do you do it in one giant sudo dnf install -y command so that it creates one transaction in the dnf history, or do you split it up into individual dnf install commands so you can possibly dnf history undo them later?

I'm 200+ pages into this collection of essays I eagerly started in May and, after an interesting handful, have been slogging through it off and on ever since. I've refused to DNF it, but haven't been able to get through a single essay in one sitting in several months. I even skipped a few, only reading ones that seem most interesting, but that's not working, either.

I don't want to end my reading year on a sour note, so I think it's time to cut bait and move on.

DNF'd Assassins Anonymous.
The assassin-y parts are fine. Good, even. I might have even been able to ignore that the only woman could have been replaced with a life-sized cardboard cutout.

But then the guy just hops on a flight to Singapore WITH HIS CAT. You can't do that. There are documents. And health checks. And quarantine. All for a cat that added nothing to the book.

Penguin Random House, this is on you. Do better.

Aaaand another two books #DNF.

Look, don't promise me a cute queer romance and then lead with your personal hypnosis journey.

And for book 2 - your characters have to be at least a little likeable at the beginning. Really. Give it a try.

:so tired:

Okay, at least I got them via KU, so all I spent was the yearly fee.

dnf5 fuckin' whips, y'all did a great job

I upgraded my system overnight to #Fedora41. I seemed to be running low in the #RootPartiition and so I moved the directory in /var/lib/dnf, where all the downloaded new #rpm files are temporarily kept, to another partition and created a symbolic link to it from there to that location. After that, everything went smoothly. I do like the new #dnf output, it’s more informative than before.

Habe das Fedora Upgrade auf Version 41 durchgeführt.

Unspektakulär wie immer. Aber das ist auch gut so. Die größten Änderungen bei Fedora kommen wahrscheinlich immer über das Gnome-Ökosystem. Da ich das aber kaum nutze, verhält sich mein Fedora fast immer gleich ;)

Nur unter der Haube gibt es kleine Neuigkeiten. Wie zum Beispiel, dass dnf v5 deutlich performanter sein soll.

Mal sehen.
