  1. I don't speak #German / #Deutsche but some of y'all do. And I know many Mastodon clients support #translation.

    Please support this #kickstarter to undo a misunderstanding that's messed up the #RedTeamBlues German #audiobook. @pluralistic writes good stories, and this series is among his best fiction.

    I absolutely cannot financially support this, so I'm sharing here, hoping folks who can supp, do so.

  2. #CoryDoctorow hat versehentlich eine deutsche Hörbuchfassung von #RedTeamBlues am Start, die über #Kickstarter bestellt werden kann: kickstarter.com/projects/docto (gelesen von #UveTeschner, übersetzt von #JürgenLangowski).

    Solche G'schichten schreibt nur das Leben, und da mir das Buch sehr gefallen hat (auf Englisch) und es #DRMfrei ist, bewerbe ich das jetzt hier mal.

    Brauche eine 🤩-Variante mit Sternen als Ohren!?! #Cory_Doctorow #Hörbuch #audiobook

    Howdy! It's Monday. Again.
    I'm recovering from . . . something. Convenient care says it's not any of the bad things, so maybe just Laryngitis.

    Counting days until knee surgery on the 29th (oh boy).

    And I finished the Marty Hench trilogy by Cory Doctorow (love, love, love) and got my hubby reading them!

  4. It was standing room only at the Toronto stop of Cory Doctorow 's ( @pluralistic ) book tour, for #PicksAndShovels

  5. This arrived. Yay. I love Will Wheaton reading Cory's @pluralistic's books but I have to own the hard copy too. Loving learning more about cybersecurity, crypto and finance with Marty Hench. #thebezzle #RedTeamBlues

  6. Just finished the audiobook of @pluralistic's second Marty Hench novel, #TheBezzle.

    (Full disclosure: @WilWheatonRSS reads my name at the end because I was publicly enthusiastic about #RedTeamBlues, the first Marty Hench novel, on social media. If you haven't read it, add it to your queue. It doesn't matter which order you read them in.)

    "It's complicated" is the most accurate non-spoily way to describe it. I also finished it waaay too quickly.

    You will especially like it if you enjoy people talking about their passions. They may or may not align with your passions, and it doesn't matter because you /want/ to know more.

    I like Marty. I have yelled at him for doing stupids, but I'm a geezer and sometimes it's about #experience, not brainpower.

    He would be a cool person to know, and not because of his professional skillset, rather, because he's ... interesting.

    In this book, I discover that I am not alone in this opinion. I also rediscovered that his #heart is bigger than his head.

    There's #sex, #drugs. and .... #soul ... in this story. It's fictional, but packs a /lot/ of #fact. You can easily believe stuff could happen that way. And some of it did, though without Marty's participation.

    I backed the #kickstarter; you can find the #audiobook on Libro.fm and support your local bookstore /at the same time/. You can also get the #ebook or a print copy in the usual places.

    If you hurry, you can get /all/ the Cory Doctorow ebooks on #HumbleBundle. You won't be disappointed and your purchase supports @eff.

  7. Get on the Marty Hench train with Red Team Blues and a bunch of other Cory Doctorow @pluralistic books via Humble Bundle.

    Shockingly available in the UK, unlike another recent popular book deal, for £14.34 for all 18 books ($18 in the USA)

    As another thread has pointed out, adjust the donation percentage as the default to the EFF is only 72p, and be careful of the default price selected.

  8. Just downloaded my copy of @pluralistic 's #RedTeamBlues and #thebezzle from the kickstarter campaign. Excited to dig in soon.

  9. Die Abendlektüre gestern nach den KI-Diskussionen: Das neue Buch von @pluralistic Cory #Doctorow: "The Bezzle", der zweite Martin Hench-Roman nach #RedTeamBlues. Als Audiobook gelesen von Will Wheaton (und nicht erhältlich auf Audible, weil DRM-frei). Von mir als eBook gelesen. #TheBezzle

  10. Nice: #RedTeamBlues von @pluralistic ist schon auf Deutsch erschienen und hat ein sehr schickes Cover bekommen.

    (of a man) having a body that looks big, strong and well shaped, as if he has done a lot of exercise:
    Did you see how hench Ronaldo looked when he took his shirt off?
    He's stronger than the henchest guy in the gym.

    I just finished Red Team Blues. I started it on Saturday and finished it today. Couldn't put it down.

    Martin Hench is a self employed forensic accountant that plays on the Red team, the attackers, and he's really good at it.

    "They have to make zero mistakes; I just have to find one error. They have to be perfect; I just have to be systematic. It’s why I play the red team. Advantage to the attacker, as always.”

    His latest job, however, has put him in jeopardy and on the defensive - on the Blue Team - and he hates it, until a good friend sets him straight.

  12. Acabei #RedTeamBlues do @pluralistic Os temas que se espera do Doctorow, menos o utopismo, mas num estilo novo: Bruce Schneier pela voz de Raymond Chandler. A combinação funciona bem (talvez com um cadinho de Lazarus Long do Heinlein, que gostei menos). Mas, overall, gostei imenso do livro.

  13. CW: Long thread/13

    The collapse of accounting is such an ominous and fractally weird phenomenon, it inspired me to write a series of hard-boiled forensic accountancy novels about a two-fisted auditor named #MartinHench, starting with last year's #RedTeamBlues (out in paperback next week!):

  14. Just finished off @pluralistic Cory Doctorow’s #RedTeamBlues. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    But who “modified” the Nissan Leaf and when?
