Well, there are ads in the premium version Podcasts too (they seem to be only on a few "Spotify Exclusive" ones that they threw cash at for the moment). I can put up with it as there is maybe one or two I listen to regularly with

It's old data. But the 3D view from the plane cams is a good enough replacement at this point (where it is available), if you want a better view of an area than a satellite gives. Apart from just being nosey, i find street view helpful

You don't. That's the trouble with Youtubers, there is only one person that needs to be paid off. With a larger organization there is at least peer review and multiple people that would have to keep quiet.

It doesn't click in peoples minds because it is not simple. It is patently more complex than Visa or Mastercard. If there really was the "simplicity of the Internet" then a system better than Visa or Mastercard or logging on

No idea which bank you used where a payment took 5 days (are you American?). I made a high five figure payment online when buying a property and it was in the destination account the next day. Crypto bros really have to drop the idea that i

Mine has both and it is from 2021. Removing the ability to expand your phones storage locally is just a way to justify the cost structure Apple and others created around "more storage = more cost". When you can add 128GB via a car

When there is a global surplus of clean energy then we can look to burn it on a distributed global casino. Until then there are countless better ways to use it. And yes, Crypto isn't the only wasteful use of energy, but it sure is the

Of course it is possible, you don't have to use "TDAmeritrade.com" to manage your investments. You can hold the contract paper yourself if you like. A broker will charge more for those type of direct holdings when a trade is

Do you really need to ask why? Because Ukraine is on the doorstep of Europe, that's why Europeans care more, and by proxy the US. As for Iraq, yes people did care, there were large protests in London and Tony Blair is still hated by th

The Russians are in no position to ask for anything. They have proved that unless they are invading a much less militarily capable neighbour (being the local bully) they do not have the resources or ability to worry a NATO force. Hence the

How do you "use" a stock? You give a company money in the hope they are able to turn it into more money over a certain period of time than you would holding it in a bank account. If the company pays a dividend it gets sent to you

It is not just about what you alone can "mine", your participation is only made possible by ALL the miners burning electricity to keep the global state of the network. Without that combined wasted energy and CO2 generation there i

So is it safe to assume you are a vegan who grows all their own food to minimise your impact on CO2 emissions, while you participate in the "trustless financial system"? Otherwise you are a hypocrite. Personally I will not partici

That looks good, thanks. I block recommendation sections on some site with the ublock element picker (like the "recommendations" stackoverflow puts in the right column from their other sites, completely unrelated to the current pa

Tasteless trolling is far easier to produce than an insightful comment. That is why any platform that allows unmoderated "free speech" (with a large enough user base) will eventually degenerate into a cesspool. Even those that hav

This sort of repression of free speech is a very slippery slope. It starts with publicly stating the location of Elon's private jet becoming a crime, and ends with a dictator in control of the world's most powerful armed forces.

Humm, Fedora is the source for CentOS and RHEL. Surely most of the contributions to Fedora come from people employed by Red Hat?

There doesn't need to be a reason, if YouTube want's to remove a video from their platform they are free to do so.

This rang some major alarm bells. "Marmite got a decent score overall, but tasters weren’t bowled over by it, with more than half finding it too strong in flavour and too thick. Some also found it more difficult to spread compared with

There is also the issue that most of those 3500 are never going to played for more than 5 minutes and will just be there as a curiosity. There are the classics still worth playing, and the cult titles that hit some nostalgia button for a si

The only way it works is if people have some skin in the game. To go the "free speech" route everyone should have to use their real identity. I realise this excludes people under repressive governments where free speech has really

This is quite patronizing to people in "first world" countries. If there is no limit to free speech is it not possible that lies and falsehoods are so potent that spreading them leads to an authoritarian fascist police state? Ther

My guess is there is a "feng shui" side to cleanliness, tripping over clothes or having a sink full of dishes is more likely to affect you if you are in contact with it more often. But also i think there is a biological reason. Mo

I think this is the "have cake and eat it" scenario. Crypto fans want a fresh supply of dumb money into the system to keep their line going up. But also want the more complex scams that might catch them out regulated away.

In my experience yes, critics were cringing over the "bad" movies you liked as a child. I don't think anything has changed, or that there is anything wrong with that. Critics are paid to watch as many movies a possible, even

It's worse than that, it's how much the fans of the movie enjoyed watching it. Most people who watch a movie don't go online and rate it.
