I’m always worried about inadvertently doing this, so I’ve been trying to make a conscious effort to ask people if they need more context rather than assuming they do or don’t. It’s actually a good approach I think. Although it does depend on whether the person you’re talking to is likely to just say “oh yeah, I know what that is” when they really don’t
Where I am (Victoria, Australia) this is how it always is. It’s been a common thing as far back as I can remember. When you get pulled over you’ll be asked for your license and given a breathalyser test. Recently I think they’ve started doing drug tests too, although I’m not sure if they do that for everyone like breathos, or just some people.
Spotify inserts their own ads into every podcast, regardless of whether you have premium or not. Then on top of that the podcasters themselves usually insert either ads or sponsorships into it too. I’ve seen countless podcasts do this now. In the worst cases that feels something like this: ad (by spotify) > introduction and depending on the podcaster potentially ads there too > barely any content > sponsorship > barely any content > ad (by spotify) > barely any content > podcast break and either sponsorship or ads by the podcaster > repeat for 2nd half
How does that work for people with non US/UK accents? I ask because all of the transcription software I’ve seen will work absolutely fantastically on even the most garbled and redneck American accents, and the vast majority of British ones too, but as soon as you get to Scottish/Welsh/German/Australian/really anywhere elses accents, it has a complete breakdown and you can’t make sense of it at all
For something cheap, my vote goes to name cheap. Their support was actually better than I expected too. For something private njalla is really good. Not sure what’s a good mix of both though, maybe CloudFlare? I know you can move your domain to them, so I presume they also let you register directly through them.
Telstra here in Australia seems to have this as well. Not sure about duckdns specifically, but last night I found out that they block a few monero mining pools. I emailed them about it, and apparently it’s based off of virustotal ratings. They wouldn’t turn it off, but they told me it’s “trivial to bypass” (their words), suggesting google or CloudFlares DNS, or a VPN
There’s also TubeArchivist which is sort of like a self hosted YouTube. It can pull videos automatically from channels you subscribe to and download them through yt-dlp and has some organisational capabilities too
I wonder if that means we can claim adverse possession
