If I remember correctly, the app was originally built by an Australian public broadcaster and then sold to WordPress Matt, so yeah.

Well, I’m still using a Ryzen 3000 chip. Maybe I should go Intel next time. Oh wait, those are currently corroding from the inside. Guess I’ll just stop using computers.

Oh, yeah, wait, I am using AntennaPod too. The subscription stuff was actually the reason I switched from Pocket Casts. Mixed up the names. I’d claim old age, but I’m not that old yet, really.

Many modern podcast solutions seem to be injecting ads into the audio file they serve, to varying degrees of success.

I listen to several ad supported English language podcasts, and most of them seem to have difficulties with Pocket Casts AntennaPod, or some other part of my setup. The only ones that do get ads placed are the ones that use Spotify Megaphone for their backend.

There is a paid version of pocket casts?

YT App patched with revanced still works for me, and the app uses less battery for me than the browser version. Privacy wise, the browser is presumably better, though.

My home page looks the same either way, though.

I think that assuming that editorial decisions are never influenced by financial interests would be naive, but they’re such a big organisation that covers such a breadth of topics that it would also seem foolish to assume a douplicitous intent behind every story. It might just be journalist covering a currently relatively widely discussed topic.

Also, Reuters generally does quite well in remaining relatively neutral in their coverage (though that impression might of course just be based on my biases).

Well, producing illegal drugs seems to be generally rather high risk, high reward. You’d also need a lab, possibly employees, a distribution network, and might encounter potentially rather violent competition, though, so I’d say there might be a few more cost centres other than the raw materials.

I mean, we all knew it was quite easy, but I still think that it’s journalistically valuable to go through with it to see, and show how easy it actually is.

Would you link one? Because the only things I know of are the small coral accelerators that aren’t really comparable, and specialised data centre stuff you need to request quotes for to even get a price, from companies that probably aren’t much interested in selling one direct to customer.

Yeah, I thought the article was fine, though. Writer is more tech focused, editor seems more business focused, and the editor is usually responsible for the headline.

I mean, they’re pretty old planes. I don’t expect them to rip out all the equipment and replace it if it still does the job.

It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.

Your instance is the address behind the @. So yours is lemmy.world, theirs is, fittingly, yiffit.net.

That’s a whole lot of words to say almost nothing.

I’d go in a different direction - requiring someone to sing your national anthem is wrong. It’s wrong when the U.S. do it, it’s wrong when Canada does, it’s wrong when China does it.

I find national pride hard to understand, but forced displays of national pride are really iffy.

I think Reuters only has a Best of feed from their agency side, which isn’t really that useful as a news feed. All their feeds seem to be shut down, at least the ones I had stopped working.

I trust Reuters more than I trust Media Bias Fact Check. I of course still vary my media diet, but they’re certainly a pillar of it.

Seem to remember that they had a big scandal with a climate change denier editor that changed some articles a few years ago. Good to remember that no oragnisation is above scrutiny.

one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned

Yeah, let’s keep it to one kind of gambling. I like and use opensuse tumbleweed. Rolling release, never had stability problems.
