why do people scrobble? I don’t understand the need for it. Do you need to keep track of what you listen to for some reason or do you just feel like you need to share that information with others? Someone please explain why anyone scrobbles

I’ve reported critical issues with playback and sync and the developer always email back to tell me “it’s the podcast” or “your device sucks” as if it were unreasonable to expect correct playback of This American Life on an iPhone 6 running the current version of the app on the current iOS. Once they have your money,…

I wish pocket casts would bring playlists to their web interface and sync them between devices. They still need to fix their sync, though. I have this problem where, if I finish a podcast on another device, when it syncs to my phone, it syncs the next podcast on the playlist to the equivalent position of the end of…

Search is terrible! Part of the problem is there is no consistency in the tagging of podcasts by their authors. Sometimes the podcast is by the studio that produced it, sometimes it’s by the host. If I search “NPR” I expect to see all NPR podcasts. I shouldn’t have to then search for the rest of them by searching the…

as a man, I always pictured a period being something like Sailor Star Maker’s Star Gentle Uterus

That’s a shame. It looks and is totally fine on my samsung tablet. I just assumed that it would be just as good on an iPad

I used Relay for reddit. Dat Material Design!

It’s not a solution for people who do, but are awkward and not particularly social like my parents. Church did not automatically change them into social people

Me too! I also have massive FoMO because most, but not all of my friends moved to NYC in the years following graduation and continue to socialize more-or-less how we did in college, except in a big city and with adult careers and all I can do is see it happening on social media and feel sad that I am missing out. I…

My parents tried this. They managed to make 0 friends and piss their atheist sons the fuck off dragging them to church every sunday

I want to make fun of this, but as a youngish adult living the traditional adult life (married, homeowner) I can honestly say I have no idea how to be social as an adult. I don’t enjoy the activities or the manner of socialization that older adults enjoy. The closeness of a college-esque community makes more sense and…

besides all their popular songs sounding a lot alike as summarized in a previous response, they’re also a convenient proxy for hipsters. People who don’t actually know what “hipsters” listen to mock Mumford & Sons as “hipster” music

Their songs sound a lot alike. You could hear the start of one song expecting one set of lyrics and be completely wrong. It’s unfortunate, but true. Take any popular Mumford & Sons song and sing the lyrics to a different, popular song by them. There’s probably youtube videos that demonstrate this, similar to the “All…

Yeah I was gonna say GW and Rumsfeld got away with war crimes, so why not let her get a pass

Can someone please make these into a pulseaudio module so I could use it in linux??

One of them was an ancestor of G.W. Bush. Don’t remember his name, though....

fear, in this context, means “giving proper reverence to”.

I really, truly believe that this is the case. Only now that they’re in decline does their crazy come out for all to see.

there’s no need to dog anyone over their sex life. He has the right to be abstinate, she has a right to pursue a fulfilling relationship which suits her, including sexually. Switch up the genders and it makes no difference. You should not be dogging anyone for being or not being sexually active and navigating their…

Most emulators let you blur and antialias to emulate the effects of a low resolution CRT. Retroarch, for example, has filters to replicate artifacts of different types of displays and connectors.
