A trick that has worked for me: pull on a finger. In a dream (probably because I've conditioned myself) it will stretch like taffy which was enough to indicate that I'm dreaming.

Interestingly, after a while seeing my finger stretch wasn't enough to convince me that I was dreaming: I would question whether it was stretching enough. Like "oh, it's only double it's normal length, so this is probably reality." This has also happened with other tricks I've tried, like try to fly ("I'm only hovering; probably not a dream"). It's almost like you build a tolerance for particular abnormalities.

Sorry, that was longer than I meant for it to be

Ah yes, the US Food, Drink, and Drug Administration (FDDA).

No offense intended, just poking fun.

It's odd; in the old episodes, 5-4 includes ad bumps (e.g., "It feels like a good time to take a break") but then immediately resumes the episode("And we're back") without playing an ad. Maybe they switched advertising partners and didn't bother to update old content?

I'm on the RSS feed (not Spotify, Apple, etc.) and was able to listen to most of the back catalog without ads. When I was catching up, ads weren't playing in episodes older than about 1 year.

I had a similar ad experience with The Dollop, another good podcast.

A good podcast. They do have ads though.

There have been lots of issues reported on Reddit and Discord. The devs have said they're aiming to have them fixed "early this week" (this was posted at the end of last week).

I'm sure I'm not the first to note this, but this person would almost definitely define gender by " what between your legs," while then describing gender based on someone's external appearance/behavior.

I guess the common thread is telling someone else what their gender is.

Note that in that post, Evan said those items are "definitely" not in 2025, but are longer term plans.

It also loaded automatically for me on Voyager. Maybe it's an instance thing?

My understanding is that the device does the step counting. If your device is only measuring 1/2 the steps you take, then any app that relies on that count will be inaccurate.

The improvements to Walkscape seem to be in loading the step count from your device to Walkscape. There were times before when I would open the app and the steps that I had taken wouldn't pull in. From the dev blog, this may have been due to something interrupting the process. Previously, those steps would have been lost. Now, they'll still load the next time the app is opened.

It does sound like they're working on wearable support though, so maybe that will help with your situation.

True - even stranger
