Years ago, I built #Asimov as a way to keep things like node_modules/ out of my #TimeMachine backups.
However, life got in the way and despite the project finding a strong userbase (1.8k stars on GitHub), I didn't have the time or motivation to keep things going.
Fortunately, Django volunteered to take over and now Asimov is better than ever.
I guess the moral here is that it's okay to ask for help or to say "I've done my part, time for someone else to take the reins"

„Ein Text, der dabei besonders herausragt, ist Falsch korrigiert (Galley Slave). Isaac #Asimov nimmt mit dieser Kurzgeschichte so manche Debatte der Jetztzeit vorweg. Er lässt uns an einer Gerichtsverhandlung teilhaben, in der ein Konflikt zwischen einem Universitätsprofessor und einem hoch entwickelten Robotcomputer namens EZ-27 ("Easy") verhandelt wird. Der Text aus dem Jahr 1957 besticht weniger durch seine Spannung als durch seine Aktualität.“

1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I'm reading Asimov's "I Robot" now (~3/4 through) and it's definitely different from what I remember of Will Smith's 2004 movie!
I'm enjoying the book!
Also (side note):
All I can think of when Will Smith's name is mentioned is him slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards 😅

I couldn't resist getting this one because it contains the first Foundation story by Isaac Asimov.
As a big fan of the Robots/Galactic Empire/Foundation series, this one has some meaning.

@catsalad I saw this recently on the #InternetArchive & saved it for similar reasons of amusement… 🙃

I finished reading Foundation today. I really liked it. The fact that it tells the story of a massive galactic empire falling apart but does it with mostly relatively simple interactions between characters is pretty interesting.
I'm not going to jump into the sequels straight away, but I have every intention of reading them eventually.

“You don’t have to do anything.” The Baker’s vast shoulders leaned back against the wall. “I do this as often as I can. It’s nothing personal. If the patrollers are after someone I do my best for them. I hate the patrollers.”
—Isaac Asimov, The Currents of Space 1952
Asimov knew all cops are bastards.

Früher dachte ich immer dass die Hintergrundgeschichte des 1994er Point and Click-Adventure "Beneath a Steel Sky" mit Isaac Asimovs Romanen verbunden wäre.
Das war aber offensichtlich nur eine Fehlleistung meinerseits, da ich seinen Roman "Die Stahlhöhlen" und den Titel "Steel Sky" irgendwie miteinander vermischt oder verbunden habe.
Finde das Adventure aber trotzdem sehr stimmig und gelungen.

Found this in my used copy of The Currents of Space, by Isaac Asimov. Originally published 1952, but this looks to be a 1971 edition.
Can I still get four novels for 10¢?
Advert must be 74 or so.
Interesting to see who they thought was worth advertising, full list in alt text.

J'ai enfin mis en ligne l'émission où je raconte #Babel, dans deux versions différentes;
La première est proche du mythe biblique.
La seconde est largement inspirée de la nouvelle #2430 de Isaac #Asimov.Bonne écoute !

"1984" vs. "Foundation"
Two classics that formed my thinking, which eventually went to a new democracy:

"I wish that I could say I was optimistic about the human race. I love us all, but we are so stupid and shortsighted that I wonder if we can lift our eyes to the world about us long enough not to commit suicide.” - Isaac #Asimov
“Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work together for the benefit of all.”
- John Maynard #Keynes -
