“Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement
Reply in thread
It's done via RSS feeds that the podcast creators then submit to aggregators. Then apps pull that information down from said aggregators. This website explains the gist of it.

Sovereign citizen got a ticket.
Won't pay their fair share to help maintain roads and driver safety, but yet somehow totally have all the right in the world to use said roads.
These fucking idiots wouldn't know what the social contract was even if it crashed a car right into their living room.

I like how that shortage wasn't caused by Obama, but instead a bunch of psycho Republicans' overreactions to a black democrat making it into office.

The /r/help sub is full of people angry at the new Reddit UI
I bet old.reddit is gonna be axed fairly soon. All signs point that way.
Also wouldn't surprise me if RES is killed off in the not too distant future.
Edit: wow that new redesign they just pushed is indeed pretty bad

Remember when Trump took out a 1 page ad in the paper calling for the death penalty for the central park 5?

Here's why the $3,500 Apple Vision Pro headset is so expensive
Reply in thread
Yeah if you watch the iFixit tear down it’s obvious these things are just packed to the gills with tech. I’m not mega surprised they ended up costing so much. It’s really bleeding edge.
That said it’s way too expensive for me to get on board and I think they made some poor choices. Especially the outer display. The amount of weight, battery drain, fragility, and (presumably) expense that display alone added is just plain dumb. And it looks a lot worse IRL than in their videos.
I also think the aluminum looks great but I wonder how much lighter the headset would be if it were plastic without the outer display and glass.

Yeah the locking down podcasts for exclusivity to me is really fucking toxic and totally counter to what podcasts used to stand for. Really pissed me off when Gimlet went Spotify only and Reply All was no longer available elsewhere. Very anti consumer.

Yeah big grain of salt with that promise.
One thing that stands out to me about old.reddit is that it allows you to browse NSFW subs without being signed in. I feel like that absolutely will not jive with their IPO, so something there is gonna change one way or another. Could be as simple as no longer allowing any non logged in users from browsing NSFW or more drastic like killing NSFW altogether or killing old.reddit.

Bluesky opens up federation, letting anyone run their own server | TechCrunch

Bluesky has a much better community of artists on it. A ton of comics twitter relocated there. And that’s the content I want so I’m on Bluesky. I’ve tried to get Mastodon to serve me content I’m interested in but it just falls short for me.
In the long run it’s about the community. All the philosophical stuff people mega into Mastodon rant on about doesn’t matter to regular people if Mastodon doesn’t have the content they want.
Also Dorsey only owns like 2% of Bluesky now iirc and had mostly cut ties with it in favor of his Nostr thing because he’s butthurt Bluesky is full of liberals.

100% this. Until FPTP voting is done away with a vote for a liberal 3rd party is basically a vote for republicans. CGP Grey did a really easy to understand video about it.
