Everything on the internet is "downloaded" to your device
No it is not. You're using wrong definitions to back up other wrong definitions.
"Download" means to make a copy and store it on your local device.
You are attempting to split hairs based on distribution
This is not semantics. This is not "splitting hairs". This is not pedantic. How it's distributed is a fundamental property of what a podcast is.
If it's not, maybe you can tell me what a podcast is, and how it's different from a YouTube video?
You could argue that calling a live show a podcast is technically incorrect:
...why would I do that?
but thanks to language continuing to adapt to its environment...
This is not "language adaptation", this is a complete erosion of the meaning of the word.
We have words for videos, they're called "videos", which are fundamentally different from a "podcast".
Podcasts were containerized (aka offline) recordings of these.
Podcast are not necessarily offline. You can stream them.
I like the language exercise of trying to say a complete idea in the less possible words.
Except people don't do that. They just create these ridiculously long and confusing threads
Many radio shows may and do have video feeds but that does not prevent them from being called radio shows.
Nor does it prevent it from being a podcast. What prevents it being a podcast is not being distributed as a podcast...
That's what class actions are for.
They could easily claim damages, considering they may have made sacrifices over the years against other providers in anticipation of the T-Mo guarantee.
Well, okay, if you're into that, I'd probably recommend the upcoming Mudita Kompakt instead.
No. It does not. It has podcasts. And some of those podcasts have an optional video component.
Adding video doesn't make it not a podcast. Not distributing it as a podcast makes it not a podcast.
Okay, well then, according to your own "respected sources", this is also not a podcast, so go on with yourself.
It's not subjective at all, and it's not just semantics. There is a tangible difference, the implications of which we've seen on this very OP.
If a game that once worked on Steamdeck and now no longer works after publisher intervention then refunds need to be issued.
If it's up to me I would leave SteamDeck out of it altogether. If the publisher changes the terms of sale in any way, it should be refundable. But at the very least, if you bought it on SteamDeck and it later stops working on SD, I would agree and would add that as well. But Valve would have a hard time enforcing that against the publisher since, again, it was never advertised as supported by anyone but Valve.
Of course, then we have to have a deeper discussion about things like game-breaking updates, so ultimately Valve needs to serve as not only legislator but as the judge, jury and executioner as well.
It's complicated.
...yes? What about it?
Are you aware Wikipedia has sources?
Then cite the sources, there's no reason to use Wikipedia as an unnecessary middleman.
Cites dictionaries
Once again I'm going to ask you to appeal to a sense of logic and reason instead of authority. These definitions make zero sense.
For example your second source says "downloaded over the internet" and since YouTube doesn't allow you to download videos, YT videos would be omitted from that definition.
I think it's worth noting that you could never post this message on BSky due to arbitrary and fucking stupid character limits.
I'll never join anything with character limits. Like, why?
Okay let's have a rational thought experiment:
On the one hand, BF1 was never advertised as being Linux compatible.
On the other hand, EA has retroactively changed the terms of the sale in such a way that breaks the game, ruins the experience, solves nothing, has extremely questionable security implications, and you who paid for the game did not consent to.
Personally I think they should have to refund games for this and Valve needs to put their foot down and be good stewards for the community.
It's often lonely advocating for the right thing.
And I would argue that language "evolution" is fucking stupid if all meaning is stripped from the words, as it has been here. The whole purpose of a language is to create a common understanding of communication. If that definition is eroded to the extent that there is no longer a common understanding, that is not evolution, that is devolution.
It also abused by many to intentionally conflate meanings to fit an agenda.
Better late than never?
But it's not called droidcast.
Not sure what your point is? The technology and the name was popularized by Apple, not Google. If Google had done it, they could have just as well called it that and it would make no tangible difference.
And Wikipedia says video podcasts exist so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.
Are you aware that Wikipedia is also user-editable? I don't care what Wikipedia says, use your brain.
Ask yourself what is a podcast? Why is it not called "radio"? Why is it not called "video"? Are all podcasts audio interviews? Apply some basic sense here. Watch the old videos from when Steve Jobs introduced it and listen to how he described it.
Of course you can.
Linux is great if you're a software developer and don't ever plug any hardware in.
My laptop has been having problems not charging and the top row of the keyboard stopped working. In my pursuit of a replacement I realized how ridiculously cheap Intel iMacs have become.
And then I realized that you can gut them and convert them into an insanely good computer monitor after the internals die.
I was looking for a dead one but somehow managed to get my hands on a working 5k 2017 iMac for $150. God the display is glorious.
For the time being Im just going to use the existing internals since they're still functioning.
I installed Fedora on an external drive and everything seems to be functional. I managed to get fractional scaling functioning. However the output only goes up to 4k. And while thats still really nice, the extra resolution does make an obvious difference when sitting ~1 foot away.
Has anyone been able to get 5k working?

I get lots of spam from particular mailing services like Constant Contact and Mailchimp. 100% always spam from these services. Is there a way to block messages received through these services? I can see the domains in the header of the email but I don't see an option to block messages based on info in the header.
Cygni is the Epic free game this week. Unfortunately it is not working for me. Installed using HGL. Added to Steam. Set compatibility to GE-Proton-Latest. Running on SD OLED w/ Steam Beta.
When launching, I sometimes get as far as the Konami loading screen but then it crashes.
Tips? Ideas? Anyone else get this working properly?
Trying to cover all my bases on the headline LOL.
I confirmed LACT was installed, though I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Installed movit via RPM-OStree.
GPU processing is still grayed out. Currently waiting for a 20 minute video to process on CPU only and says it will take 3 hours :(
PSVR 2 will soon be compatible with SteamVR as a result
Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they're going to be asking a flat fee "$5-20" for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says "that's between you and your God".

I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up.
I use Proton because it has a "suite" of products under a single subscription, but that benefit is losing it's allure as some of their products are pretty shitty from a user experience perspective, their customer support is atrocious, and they don't seem to pay any attention to what their users actually want.
Does anyone track known VPN servers? Is there a specific provider that causes less problems? Does anyone test different VPNs for detection?
Thinking about cancelling my subscription and moving to Mullvad.

If we get Pixel desktop I will def have to be upgrading to 9 Pro come Black Friday...
Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).
-
If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?
-
If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?
-
Can I use these as "individual" or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?
Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.
Not sure why this doesn't exist. I don't need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could potentially just have 2xNVMe and have the boot partition in RAID also? Bonus points if I can use it as a wireless router also.
Watch "The Nintendo Switch Will NEVER Be the Same // MIG-Switch Dumper Review" on Streamable.
I really enjoy Linux but I find myself having to keep Windows partitions around for software that specifically requires Windows.
Proton makes everything easier by automatically running game files through a translation layer, and it "just works" quite well most of the time.
Also VanillaOS can apparently auto-spin a container when you try to open a .deb or AUR package (this is my rudimentary understanding).
Setting up WINE/Bottles, etc. is above my pay grade.
Is it not possible to create an OS that just does the same thing as Steam but for the entire OS?
Hi friends, I managed to get a few services running (Mobilizon, Mastodon, PeerTube etc.), and I'm just now realizing that by default none of these federated networks are subscribed to anything?
I'm going to be the only one using these services so I don't care about moderation or defederation. Is there no "subscribe all" button?
And if not, are there comprehensive lists somewhere I can download and import?
Thanks in advance.
Hi friends. I'm new to the whole homeserver. I managed to make a ton of progress very quickly using CasaOS but I've been hung up on this for a couple of days now.
I have Jellyfin set up and working properly, locally. I configured Namecheap to forward requests from [subdomain] to [WAN]. I have my router set up to port forward requests from [WAN] 80 and 443 to NGINX on [LAN] port 81. I created a proxy host in NGINX to forward requests from [subdomain] to [LAN Server] on [LAN] port 8097 (Jellyfin container).
Problem is when I type in [subdomain] into the browser, it takes me to the NGINX login page instead of the Jellyfin server...like it's not forwarding the request? Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is appreciated.
Potential issue I see is that Jellyfin by default fires up on port 8097 but in the settings defaults HTTP to 8096 and...I'm not really sure why. Going to 8096 returns a "site can't be reached" error.
