This resonates for me as well. It's just too exhausting and uncomfortable, and I hate the feeling of isolation from the real world. I think it may be the case that the general public will find putting on VR goggles and losing their vis

I don't use this functionality myself and can't vouch for it, but have you looked into the synchronization options? It seems as if it should be possible. They support self-hosting as well. [0] [0] https://antennapod.org

It's amazing how incompetent they seem in this area. They even shut down another podcast app before your journey began, called Google listen. Luckily, although you might want Google's proprietary music player to access their subsc

It's a case of the terminology of "class" becoming muddled, which creates such divisions. "Middle class" is the wrong concept here - capital versus labor is what matters. Somebody in the labor class making that kind

I do the same. I think the golden rule here is to only work directly with the repo on a single device. Otherwise there is a lot of useless churn and more potential for conflicts. If you want to work with it on multiple devices, you can stil

I feel like this isn't a new phenomenon, it's just been democratized. As with Jeff Kramer and other business talking heads who will gladly tell you how you can make money by just following their advice, if somebody really had th

This is very much a YMMV situation. They work for me, both in the web UI, the native app, and in the Kodi plugin. I think it may have to do with where your subtitles are coming from and/or how something is configured. If you have a dev

It's a decent model. I actually wanted to support osmand financially, only at the time the only way I could find to do so was through the play store, which I didn't want to use. I've tried the simple apps and they are ok, but

I mean you still have to comment on issues, and even within the code itself you need to name things in ways that make sense to others. It's not that English specifically is required to do this, but if the organization is American it do

The thing that's a little odd to me is that in the US it swings wildly depending on region, from "we don't really care if you're a customer" (suburban retail or gas station) to "there is literally no restroom h

This is definitely fair! Some people just compete all the harder because the stakes are so low. I tend to think of the hyper-competitiveness in athletics as a phase that people eventually grow out of, but that can happen later in life for s

Thanks. I read the original article and conspicuously absent is the actual mechanism of the data collection that is occurring here. Some of the claims seem barely believable. Is data exfiltrated from the phone, via some kind of data access
