I'm not sure what you mean. Are you expressing that Spotify taking down episodes is not censorship? Or that a popular podcast with 11-million listeners is not a significant cultural node?
- 0cVlTeIATBs 5y agoOP's joke is to maintain that JRE is Java Runtime Environment. In that context, a tech support complaint about missing that dependency is something you would not expect to see on hacker news.
- kgarten 5y agoWas just a light-hearted joke about JRE. I was first thinking this post is about the Java Runtime Environment. Considering censorship ... not sure if it is, seeing that Rogan also seems to condemn some language he used in those episodes now. Maybe it's just a change of heart :) How do you know? The link was just a slight quip, about what the biggest, recent news about censorship for me was: if you are a school teacher in McMinn County, Tennessee, you are not allowed to use "Maus" anymore in class. There are really worse things going on than a couple of old episodes with profanity being taken down by spotify or by Rogan himself. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/02/the-inside-story-of-the-banning-of-maus-its-dumber-than-you-think/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/02/the-inside-stor...
