Same here. Everything joint except for a credit card on both sides that are individual but are really old accounts so they help our credit scores.

Absolutely correct. I wonder what the % of monetized channels (which only starts at 500 subs) make a sizeable amount of money, say more than $1k a month.

It seems natural that in a world in which you need money to survive people who like to do a thing would like to be able to do that thing for money so that they don't have to do something else to survive.

The article definitely assumes you know that 'Obsidian' is a reference to the text editor found at https://obsidian.md/

Yeah, Preview has always worked great for me. Maybe I am just not using fancy-enough PDFs to notice that it doesn't support some things.

It does feel a bit odd. A better title might be "Work Faster, Not Longer". Probably also ties into the fact that this person's job seems very deliverable based. Maybe content creation? That is just a completely different set

I have bad news about every keyboard I have ever used....

Before I swapped to a split keyboard I liked the numpad-less/fractional keyboards because it allowed my mouse to be in a better spot on my desk as it required me to keep the keyboard centered without having to reach so far to the right

I had exactly the same experience. After using the Ergodox since around 2020 it is hard to see going back to a non-split keyboard. It helps that I also swapped to a trackball at the same time and I find the ergo of having a trackball betwee

I would be curious to know what a workflow looks like where the Cut command justifies such first-class real estate. I have the four big thumb keys as Backspace - Tab - Enter - Space in that order from left to right specifically because my t

Agreed. Although the saying I have always heard is that you can't outrun a bad diet.

I feel like there is one more level of detail that is needed in many categories of "firepower" and that is the relative age of the platforms. The groupings are just a bit too high level with something like "tanks" or &qu

I think this ties into the negative connotation I mentioned: propaganda does not have to be false, it just has to be biased. One thing I noticed in the article was that all of the rumors being discussed were negative rumors. The goal was to

Absolutely still happening, I used past tense to refer to the exact events discussed in the article (newspapers printing anti-rumor columns)

An interesting article for sure. There were all kinds of things done by the various nations during the war to control the information available to the populous and to try and influence their beliefs. I do think it is interesting that this a

Shouldn't you then compare it to a 2 year old Air? They seem to be in the $600-$700 range on eBay.

The challenge with that is that unlike those things that sponsorblock is skipping, most podcast ads these days are dynamically inserted at time of stream/download. This means that some listeners get them and some listeners don't.

Generally you only need to submit them to three platforms: * Youtube Music (replacement for Google Podcasts) * Spotify * Apple Every other podcast platform uses Apple APIs to get your podcast info, and it will be available on, for example P

Interesting...in a bad way. I guess I am not shocked that they would do something like that. I'm sure they claim that they do it for user experience or some such nonsense.

Having been involved in podcasting for almost a decade now, I take a generally pessimistic view of the future the RSS based distribution system of podcasts. It largely only exists because of decisions made by Apple many many years ago that

I would be far more concerned with the proliferation of Ring doorbells and cloud connected security cameras and systems. I actually wonder if some kind of post processing could be used to remove people from videos/pictures but that wou

My reading is almost entirely history as well, for somewhat similar reasons to the article. Another thing I like about reading historical non-fiction is that in the modern world it is almost alway possible to dig in deeper on anything you r

I'm not necessarily super surprised, the uptake on Google Podcasts always seemed very low.

An interesting article. I think one of the major challenges in deep dives like this that rely heavily on HoME is that there is so much material that was clearly discarded, reconsidered, or reworked later in Tolkien's life. The steel sh

At this point there are enough note taking app options out there that are really just a fancy interface on top of text/markdown files that I have a really hard time ever considering any ecosystem that locks my notes into their own data

As a person who was looking to buy some of this new set, so glad this has been found so the street prices of the collector boosters will drop.

I feel like you are overestmating the impact of Apple Podcast subscriptions. It doesn't seem like a very well supported feature outside of a few large media brands.

I'm not sure there is anything in podcasting 2.0 about removing ads. I don't think the distribution protocol can do anything about ads that are baked into the mp3s on the hosting side.
