He’s term-limited anyway. Just hope he doesn’t pave the way for Le Pen or some other out and out fascist to take over for him.

It's to do with licensing fees. Just hosting a show carries a cost for the streamer, and if it isn't driving growth or retaining customers enough to justify that cost, it's going to get cut. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/29/streaming-services-remove-movies-shows-heres-why.html

Also a planet-burning machine. They’re very versatile that way.

Something like a syndication model makes a lot of sense. Certainly more sense than every studio or legacy network trying to operate its own streamer. I also see a lot of potential in FAST services like Pluto, Freevee, and Tubi. Locking old content behind a premium-priced ad-free streamer isn't necessary.

I read about this in Mary Beard's SPQR. Highly recommend that book if you're just starting out learning about Roman history, particularly Cicero.

Err, what?

I'll add to this family-sized apartments. US building requirements steer developers to studios and 1-beds and make it very hard to fit good 3-bed layouts on a floorplate and away from smaller buildings of any size. A lot of it, actually, comes down to egress requirements that don't allow point-access blocks. Read more here: https://www.larchlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Larch-Lab-PAB_Policy-Brief.pdf

If you’re on Apple platforms you can try NetNewsWire. Comes with a Safari extension that you can use to easily add a feed and it syncs with iCloud and/or Feedly. Edit: grammar

Best to go with chargers with replaceable cables. If you do that, I don't see any reason the charger shouldn't outlive the phone.

Spacetime is really a wonderful channel. The way they make actual quantum physics comprehensible to normal people is incredible.

She’s built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro

That’s my problem, actually. I very much do not want music bundled with ad-free YouTube. I’d pay a reasonable price for an unbundled version, but the Premium family plan is more than the top-tier Netflix or Max subscription.

They already sent a legal warning to them but apparently didn’t realize that Invidious doesn’t use their API and never agreed to any terms of service.

Also Kanopy and Hoopla

“Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!”

Same for Beehaw.

Also you can't block communities on Mlem, which is really annoying if you don't want to see all the yiff content

I'm 40% (insert thing)

Odd-numbered interstates travel north-south, even ones east-west.

Oh and the numbers start in the west and south and get higher the further east and north you go. So the west coast equivalent of I-95 is I-5.

On iOS there’s Yattee and you can use Piped on a browser or as a PWA.
