I prefer Organic Maps over Google for navigation pathfinding and interface. It doesn't do any of the flipping back and forth on route selection. It tells you your exit well ahead of time including exit number every time. None of the "in 13km stay on the road you're already on" annoyance.

The only thing Google Maps has better is their access to user GPS tracking data and user saturation, so they can identify slowdowns and reroute.

I see.

My worst experience was with spaces in code from an engineering professor who used a non-monospace typefont. Sadist. Though it was comic sans, they were probably just dyslexic. Despite the class focusing on numerical methods, we had to hand write Matlab code on paper using proper syntax. I have no clue why. Never learned much numerical method, nor were we ever allowed to use Matlab except on a few "projects" during the term. I found out about the spaces when i had to debug his example code he gave as solutions(which we were graded against). I saw errors and had to confirm i wasn't losing my mind. ...I wasn't. Anyways there was a mix of spaces and tabs to align the comic sans.

TLDR: I couldn't care less. Just don't code in word, and use a monospace font.

I've only ever heard raging between the two, but never why. I'm guessing there were competing languages with different standards, or maybe historic hardware limiting input sets that kicked this debate off or?

They did address this recently. They're not particularly happy with it either but their previous company got bought. iHeart doesn't seem like it has much interest in meddling with CZM's work in any case. They bring in enough ad revenue.

If you're truly bothered and want leftist political pods with no corporate platforms then there's always the channel zero network. They have a lot of fun stuff!

If i was still there I'd still tip 20% cash preferred. (Card/electronic transactions are more often stolen by management)

Behind the Bastards is great! It's like The Dollop but for the worst people in history.

Coolzone media is all fantastic.

For current events there's It Could Happen Here and Executive Disorder (sub series of ICHH, weekly analysis of Trump admin)

He did a lot of coverage of the protests back in 2020 in Portland.

He's also an amazing author: After The Revolution (fictional sci-fi American civil war, free to listen audiobook on the link) and his older A Brief History Of Vice (he talks about historic drug use and personally tries out all the weird ways people did drugs, very funny)

Hot dogs drive people to the brink of madness. It was inevitable.

I listened to that right as trump pulled support for Rojava. Depressing af at the time but also hopeful.

Do behind the police next.

Behind the bastards is the regular twice weekly. I also love Margret killjoys Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff

Then all the Coolzone media podcasts. They're all very good.

It's just so frustrating seeing it after learning. It's like a defensive response against the inner experience of others so that you don't need to challenge your own. Like FFS i don't need advice from someone who doesn't have their own stuff handled. I need empathy, and they can't give it because they've never learned how to suspend disbelief and view the world from a challenged perspective. I used to be there too because i was raised in the same world. I understand the how; how could they know when they've been taught their whole life to fight against it? I just feel hopeless about it ig.

Yeah, i think the point hinges on the various interpretations of the soul. For example, the Catholic concept where the soul is not necessarily tied to the experience of consciousness vs other conceptualizations where it is. The inclusion is just odd. Maybe it's supposed to be an exploration of how statistics vary between this interpretations or lack there of.

I'm just sick of toxic masculine behavior. It's just so extremely common. I've gotten to the point of being unconformable calling myself a man for fear of association.
