Your response is a common one I have seen time and again when they are trying to bow out while saving face. It’s not subtle.

Simple question: can you listen to music on YouTube? Followup question: is it still a video if the content is only the song? What would you call it?

I sincerely hope you learned something today and will be less of a pedant online. Cheers.

If it’s not, maybe you can tell me what a podcast is, and how it’s different from a YouTube video?

If I can listen to the YouTube video without needing it for visual aid… that’s just it: they’re the same thing. This wraps nicely into the video podcast thing you were whinging about earlier.

…why would I do that?

Considering your stance on this topic… why wouldn’t you? It’d be on brand.

This is not “language adaptation”, this is a complete erosion of the meaning of the word.

I really was hoping you’d say this. Semantics. Again. Language isn’t some dead unchanging thing. It morphs and adjusts with culture and technological changes.

By your logic you must surely lament the death of ancient ‘proper’ English circa 5th century before all those awful changes came about.

We have words for videos, they’re called “videos”, which are fundamentally different from a “podcast”.

Synonyms exist. Whether or not you choose to acknowledge them might be your business… however the fact you understood the medium being spoken about suggests quite plainly that language has succeeded here.

Podcast are not necessarily offline. You can stream them.

Ah, but initially - one name was for a live stream and the other for a recording. Streaming is ambiguous: are you streaming live or a recording? Thankfully: we do not make such a differentiation any more. I find it somewhat interesting your stance allows for such a difference to be ignored, though. Perhaps, given time, you will moderate on the remainder of this terminology. After all it’s a rather silly hill to die upon.

Again semantics. You are attempting to split hairs based on distribution opposed to type. This is like being a pedant over someone referring to tissues as a Kleenex despite it not being that particular brand. Podcasts were ambiguous back when they were still new, too.

Shoutcast servers were/hosted digital broadcasts. Podcasts were containerized (aka offline) recordings of these. You could argue that calling a live show a podcast is technically incorrect: but thanks to language continuing to adapt to its environment… You’d actually just be out of date or misinformed.

Semantics. A podcast is and was something that was typically long format akin to a talk show - that was something that could be listened to without requiring you to watch it. It is not audio exclusive. Many radio shows may and do have video feeds but that does not prevent them from being called radio shows.

It worked on my box!

To be fair a certain security company was in global news for exactly that same send it behavior. Why waste precious resources on multiple instances? Investors hate waste. 😅

This. They provide outstanding insights and the articles they provide alongside the data are quite good.

It wouldn’t. It isn’t.

Dark humor has its place and purpose. You aren’t offended and if you are- get some thicker skin or don’t participate. We don’t need to sterilize the world to protect your delicate “sensibilities.”

Coulda been worse… in a very wet … “I hope we wanted to paint that wall” sort of way.

They probably just flagged you for not being in the normal environment. For all their bravado their detection is dogshit. I’ve had issues with them just flagging something over a VM and… flagging a batch file closing their launcher. I wish I was joking.

This is Sarah Connor we are talking about. You’d fail the first time and she’d shoot you immediately.

Yup. If you aren’t happy with your partner - end it. Then be adults about it after the fact: especially if you had kids. It’s a simple solution and everyone wins.

Just posting facts boss. If that bothers you then maybe do a fact check beforehand.

To respond though: most people typically don’t need a daily driver knife… and if they do: a pen knife or box cutter is probably sufficient. Generally speaking- the less dangerous things in immediate reach of someone having a breakdown is probably better and likely saves lives.

If I’m not mistaken they don’t exactly take kindly to even letter openers. So you’d be incorrect.

“Oh yeah, already did man! And not to toot my own horn (again) but I gotta say…”

I think it’s actually funny / great that everyone is ignoring the misogyny and taking the wife’s side without comment, just assuming the guy is a little bit dim.

It definitely can be interpreted a number of ways- but it was funny regardless. It could easily be taken as “I’m painting over white with white…” and the wife was purely contextual for the story.

The discussions are just making it that much more amusing.

Really taking that angle? It must be exhausting being that easily put off.

People are converting. Not entirely on its own merit, of course: Its competition repeatedly is enshitifying the user experience and pushing people to try other options. Combine that with steam and their work on linux’s compatibility layer and you get most of the movement.

That said once you hit a certain market share developers become more willing to port or provide binaries for the growing platform. It can accelerate further from there. Linux mainstream isn’t there yet but it’s starting to get in striking distance of its competition.

Followup question: is it seaworthy?
