I'm trying to do more than lurk I promise

  • Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice?

    Jump

  • Since you are moving to Denmark: flee! Take a car and drive north to seek refuge in Sweden. Once you make it there you are safe, but you never know, the Danes could invade any minute. Keep driving north until you start seeing reindeer walking around like they own the place. Move into a cabin in the woods and never look back. The Danes can't reach you there.

  • Pursuing sculpting when you dont like sculpting seems like a bad idea. Is there even a lot of jobs in sculpting?

  • Ask Ouija is just a very slow distributed LLM

  • Why do podcasts have preroll ads now?

    Jump

  • I guess so, but sponsors are easier to skip since that are always the same length. If the ad changes length you cant use the time stamps to skip it automatically

  • Why do podcasts have preroll ads now?

    Jump

  • No that's not it. As I mentioned in the post, these ads change based on my location. They are absolutely not added by the people making the podcast because they are not even in the same language as the rest of the podcast.

  • As far as I can tell it depends on the podcast. Some have ads in every episode and some never have any

  • Thank you for the explanation. Kinda sucks that a premium service like Spotify doesn't even host their own content, but that's capitalism I guess.

    Jump

  • Sure they decide that the ad should exist, but how? When I see a mid-roll ad on YouTube for example it was put there by the person who uploaded the video but the content of the ad is delivered by youtube. Who is delivering the content of these ads?

  • Thanks, that's good to know! Although this seems to be more related to sponsors. Like the podcast host doing an ad-read. I don't mind them as much because then at least the creators of the podcast are getting all the money and the ad is not tracking me to figure out what ad to serve me. What I am referring to is more like a regular ad that you would hear on the radio that has been stitched on to the beginning of the episode.

  • Oh absolutely. I understand that. But is Spotify even the one who is adding/profiting from the ads? I seems like this is coming from someone else since the ads are also on AntennaPod

  • Why do podcasts have preroll ads now?

    Jump

  • I get that. But is Spotify using the same third party server then? Because the ads are always the same regardless of platform

  • I'm going insane

  • This is actually really interesting and I think about it every time I look in a large mirror. IIRC it is because the mirror is always "halfway" between you and your mirror image. So as you step back your mirror image gets further away and looks smaller, but so does the mirror.

  • Bad naming practice. CheckSuck implies it only checks and returns the result. Everything the function does should be included in the name to avoid confusion. Call it SuckIfUnsucked or something

  • You know who

  • Complex? Possibly. Durable? Hell no.

  • HP Laptop drains battery while turned off

  • This happened to my Surface pro 4 with both Windows and Linux. Could be a hardware issue.

  • This little gadget to find out which type of USB-C cable you have

    Jump

  • Loads for me. It is a video of a small device with a screen. Both ends of a usb-c cable are connected to the device and the screen shows the max power, max data speeds and other information about the cable.

  • Could the open-sourcing of the other drive apps lead to an unofficial Linux app?

  • Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome.

    Jump

  • This is so strange to me. I hear stories like this all the time but I have hard time understanding who would not show up or not eat the food that was obviously for the party.

    Did they know there would be food beforehand? Could they have eaten before because they thought there wouldn't be anything at the party? What about the other 2 people? Did they tell you they were not coming or did they say they were coming and then just didn't show up? Did they say why they didn't show up?

  • What is misleading about this? This is clearly just a personal opinion. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean it is misleading.
