“Why not? You and I are eccentrics. We’re certainly not typical of the people living on Terminus. As for criminals, that’s a matter of definition. And if criminals are the price we must pay for rebels, heretics, and geniuses, I’m willing to pay it. I demand the price be paid. […] You can’t have geniuses and saints without having people far outside the norm, and I don’t see how you can have on only one side of the norm. There is bound to be a certain symmetry.” - Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov

There are a ton of good content creators I follow, mostly in the edutainment field; I’ll post three of them (the first three that came up in my mind) for the YouTube and Podcast category

YouTube:

• CGPGrey
• Kurzgesagt
• Veritasium

Podcasts:

• Hello Internet
• Writing Excuses
• If Books Could Kill

I’m using PocketCasts and I paid a one-time fee before it became subscription based (but there’s still a free tier), in order to be able to listen to podcast using the web app on PC. Thus I now have lifetime premium access.

I’m very satisfied with their service, I did not find any problems with both the Android app and the web app, moreover it has almost every feature I need, except voice to text conversion in order to be able to share slices of audio in text format (but there are dedicated apps for that).

My first Internet connection was based on GPRS and I remember images taking ages to load and loading in chunks. Moreover the connection kept interfering with the surround audio system and sometimes I would hear noises similar to the dial up modems.

I also remember the first times I tried using eMule (is it still up and running?): I was searching for the video song “Elevation” by U2 but I was unaware of rule 34; you can imagine what I actually downloaded.

Yup, I think you can do that on Tusky by clicking on the human avatar with the plus icon on the right corner of this picture (you can also silence topics with other buttons)

I’m using Tusky, I switched to it some months ago from the official Mastodon app; but I don’t remember exactly the missing feature that forced me to switch ahahah

Anyway I am really liking Tusky, it looks modern, clean, fast and personally I did not find any relevant bugs in it.
