Luku.app now has profiles. I’m wondering whether I should finally add Fediverse or ActivityPub support in some form.

Side note: I know Bookwyrm exists, but I don’t want my “reading/book account” to be a full instance. At least not yet, or in the traditional form. I have the same issue with having a Pixelfed account or another fediverse account for specific categories of content. I think it kinda limits users.

Here’s how I imagine it working: I could share a book or review from whatever account I’m using, for example my main Mastodon account. Those discussions and comments would then link to the app. The person shouldn’t be divided across accounts.

We’re overbuilding data centres to serve the ambitions of delusion AI CEOs, and that brings real consequences for communities.

I went on The Tech Report to discuss my new book HYPERSCALE and why we can’t let the tech industry chart our collective future.

📚 An abandoned library, somewhere in England. Once the shelves were stocked with books, but now the only visitors are pigeons (and the occasional photographer!).

What was the last book you read? Comment some suggestions, preferably horror or sci-fi genre please 😉

“The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.”

Let’s celebrate, today is Ada Lovelace Day!

Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, was a pioneering mathematician. Known for creating the first machine algorithm for Babbage’s Analytical Engine, she is widely celebrated as the first programmer.

Watercolour portrait of Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, c. 1840, possibly by Alfred Edward Chalon. Watercolor portrait of a young woman glancing over her shoulder, in a purple satin gown draped with black lace. Her hair is in side coils with a yellow flower, and she holds a gold fan in a white glove.

I have been hinting that the anthology will come out soon - and it indeed will, after a brief preorder period which starts TODAY! :D

You can buy your copy for 99c AND make a bunch real human indie authors (including me) VERY happy! :D

Contains ORIGINAL Dark Fantasy Fairytales, NO AI in ANY part of the production, and all stories have trigger warnings - so you can enjoy without guilt.

An adverticement picture made by me (hiisikoloart/Mara Reboi) for book named: Once Upon a Fairytale: A collection of original fairytales. Background is well lit bed of moss (a hint which will be clear if you read my story in the book), and topped with flecks of gold. The texts around the eBook cover shown in a phone says, "A Collection of Original Fairytales - PREORDER NOW! Dark Fantasy Stories from Human Authors, NO AI, Only 99 cents." The cover is photoedited (NO AI) by artist: D'arte Oriel, and shows a dark forest, thorns around the edges of the cover, and a thorny, red rose at the middle. Golden filigrees framge the cover among smaller roses, and magic particles. The subtitle "a collection of original fairytales" reads at the top" while the main title reads at the bottom on bold, golden font "Once Upon a Fairytale". Note: By buying this book you support human work - each story was written by a human author, edited by human(s), formatted by human(s), and the cover was also made by a human. All authors and the cover artist (who is not me) are against use of AI in any part of the creative work.

**A Tactical Novella for Professionals Who Feel the Friction**

I wrote **”The Cartographer of Silent Choices”** for people who are tired of executing someone else’s KPIs.

It is not a business book. It is a *cognitive adventure*.

Elias Vane lives in the Age of Borrowed Certainty, where a machine called The Loom calculates every citizen’s daily path for maximum efficiency. For twenty-nine years, he files the same form. One morning, he chooses a crack in the wall over his console.

Behind it: the Maze of Unwritten Paths.

**What makes this relevant to your work:**

- It frames “analysis paralysis” as a physical maze with closing walls.

- It replaces motivational theory with *demonstrated* decision-making under pressure.

- It includes the **Cartographer’s Toolkit**: six behavioral exercises designed for immediate professional application.

**Clean content.** No romance subplots. No violence. No corporate jargon. Just the architecture of autonomous choice.

If your career feels like it is running on a script you did not write, this is the red pen.

**The Efficiency Trap**

We spent the last decade optimizing the wrong variables.

Faster email responses. Shorter meetings. Better templates. Smarter automations.

But productivity without direction is just *organized stagnation*. You are not moving forward. You are filing Form 773-B with better font spacing.

The professional question that matters is not:

*”How do I do this faster?”*

It is:

*”Why am I still doing this at all?”*

Until you answer the second one, every efficiency gain is just a faster route to a destination you never chose.
