Here's my results from PocketCasts. Niche AF I'm guessing

Currently binging the backlog as we speak. They just hit Covid lol

'The Rest is History' is how I've been getting my world history. Great banter from two British hosts

If you have a spare laptop/phone, I'd find a good tutorial and start there and then venture towards new hardware as your needs require it. Personally, I bought a (used) laptop when my main laptop wouldn't boot, but then I wiped my malfunctioning laptop and it started working again. I've been using the used laptop as a server ever since.

Personally, I have yet to find something that I couldn't self-host on the laptop and still don't quite grasp why I'd need a heavier-powered device.

Try running journalctl -b -p err the next time it happens. That takes a look at errors that took place since the last log and can potentially direct you towards a specific target area to resolve.

Nothing like some crowdsourced help to fine-tune the google search for your kink.

Same. I'm on Debian tho so I've got ~6 months until it affects me :D

IIRC, the music industry was in decline long before Spotify was made. The transition period before Spotify was just illegally downloading everything through Limewire/Kazaa/Napster etc.

Also, the reason podcasts make money is because they can produce something that brings audiences in on a weekly basis. The music industry OTOH has artists that make an album a year or less. It's not as sustainable and it's harder to sell ads against.

I don't think more segmentation is a wanted solution by consumers either. Consumers would much rather use one app for all platforms than have to buy a different streaming service every time they want to listen to a new album.

True.

I think that as we move towards shorter and shorter clips/tweets, there's an assumed prior context that is often missing. For example, Borat or Stephen Colbert's character on The Daily Show are clear caricatures but when you have a 5-second clip out of context, it actually feeds into the narrative it is ridiculing.

The same goes for naming cosplaying an elected official.

I can't speak to 5G but my Mint 4G service was non-existent when I was at a concert. It was otherwise great the other 99.99% of the time fwiw. Been a user for ~7 years

That's the frustrating thing about the current internet climate. In a time when less and less people are interested in researching the backstory of a tweet/policy/person, things like this are shared w/o context. Had to go down a rabbit hole to realize it's a fake satire writer.

How does the duopoly have full control if Republicans have the majority in the House/Senate/Supreme Court?
