@markhburton@mstdn.socialI've only ever listened to a handful of 'podcasts'.
But my question is, what's the generic name for them?
"podcast": from Apple's iPod machine, and broadcast.
"hoover": from a major brand of [generic name] vacuum cleaner.
I propose "webtape". From web and (for an historical feel) 'tape recording'.
@portaloffreedom@social.linux.pizzaListened to half of the digital foundry video. The steam machine, AKA GabeCube, will have 16G of replaceable sodimm (laptop) memory.
Video memory it's probably soldered and a bit anemic, but (my guess) if the GPU can read system memory fast enough, it might even work out just fine! Ray tracing consumes a lot of extra video memory, so that's probably the biggest concern.
We'll see, I'm definitely interested to see where this goes!
@johnleonard@mastodon.socialSAP has listened to customers on cloud migration, but it could still be clearer on communicating the 'why', and it should use some apps as loss-leaders, says UK and Ireland SAP User Group chair Conor Riordan.

@khalidabuhakmeh@mastodon.socialI have never listened to a single podcast on Amazon Music, but it insists I want to listen to them. I wish there were a music service that let you disable Podcasts entirely.

@yaxu@post.lurk.orgI really want to be interested in this "dark forest theory of the internet" but just listened to their podcast about the economics of it and they just went on and on about using substack and discord as if that was somehow revelatory? I couldn't get the point of what they were saying at all. Then they talked about how charging for membership of their closed group didn't really make money but helped weed people out, with no consideration that some people don't have spare …
@iragersh@mstdn.socialJust listened to @… Sarah's interview with Tim Gill. His descriptions of Rotterdam and Vienna point Zohran to the future for NYC. Same issue in Rotterdam of loss of child-bearing parents, and how Vienna solved gentrification. Zohran must rebuild NYCHA and target neighborhoods.

@cdarwin@c.imI listened to CNN talking heads praise the spectacular tactical success of the kidnapping
-- as if the U.S.' military capability was the relevant issue.
They spoke of a restoration of democracy, by which they meant capitalism, if they knew what they meant at all.
Then Trump said the U.S. would run the country directly.
Once again, journalists attempt to clothe an emperor who's fine with letting it flop around for everyone to see.
But to put it mildly,…
@jhelberg@mastodon.socialListened to Starless, King Crimson, again while cooking. Wow, why does it stop!

@malik@Mastodon.SocialAnybody here listened to “the rest is politics US” last week? 😆
That’s what Anthony Scaramucci predicted would make sense strategically.
And whatever facts they’ll find within those files, they will totally deny afterwards — like Trump always does. https://ard.social/@tagesschau/1155631

I listened to the Lunachicks on CD back in the 90s. Theo has a vibrant, strong voice - glad the group took off during 90s punk scene. They did some work with NoFx back then too.
@Mediagazer@mstdn.social @yaxu@post.lurk.org@… I don't know about pastagang (haven't listened to all the podcasts yet!) but I guess the core controversy in live coding in general is the question of what it is.

@jake4480@c.imListened to a lot of goregrind this year because that's what it feels like in my head a lot of days. Vile, chaotic, blasting, gurgling, growling grossness. It works

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caKhamenei is preparing to flee to Russia like Assad if protests there escalate.
But tell me again, Americans, that massive protests in the USA would not be successful in removing Trump and his inner circle from power.
Yes, tell me again that it just won’t work, and that winning Congress in 11 months will definitely fix things.
All my life I have listened to American Presidents and people say that they were defenders of freedom… protectors of democracy…
And yet now, when it comes to their own freedom and democracy, they choose silence?
