None of that has changed since you pre-ordered your Cybertruck. Maybe you just needed an excuse to cancel??

You seem to be accessing it through a website. There are a lot of other tools for connecting to IRC - don't be afraid to try out Hexchat or some others.

At the current rate of climate change I would say that won't last for long. But, I agree. Even though they adhere to the tropical model, don't they still know what "season" it is?

I am not saying its a good thing they do, but >85% of the population live in the northern hemisphere and thus experience the same seasons https://www.themarysue.com/world-population-latitude-longitu... Wikipedia notes it

Oh, good to know. I just let it think it's using Google and like redirecting it behind the scenes

I believe you are referencing possibly old data. I have a Chromecast. I also redirect all port 53 traffic (DNS) back through my own DNS server at the firewall level (does not go to Google DNS). It works perfectly fine wihtout directly using

I wonder if it got a bunch of traffic yesterday from being mentioned in a HN post, and they decided it wasn't worth it. Mentioned in here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21798623

By just looking for the music that plays at the beginning of some ads?

Exactly. My limit is $5/month and a lot of smaller podcasters seem to agree that it is an adequate amount for bonus content/no ads. Hell, I know a few that for $1 or $2 they get the full ad-free podcast
