It's not bad, at least not worse than many of the podcasts where people ran out of steam after some time but refuse to stop making new episodes.
One good thing is, no advertisement break.

- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 4 weeks ago:
To be fair the USA seems to have the brightest future compared to basically any other country because you guys don't have this imminent demographic collapse like most other developed countries like Japan, Korea, China, Germany, Italy, etc. And because of your geography and size you are would only be mildly affected by a WW3.
Perhaps it helps to look at other parts of the world and see how comperativelly well you guys have it.
I guess the biggest challenge is to minimize the huge divide between the rich and the poor. Sadly you missed the opportunity to choose Berny Sanders as your leader a couple of times, that would have helped a lot.

After coming back from a year of parental leave I didn't lose my job.
My previous project came to an end just before I went on parental leave and the company couldn't secure new projects locally.
But because I was involved ipartially in a different department before, that department secured a internal budget for me as a Subject Matter Expert.
Now I'm advising on that topic and was also brought in to a big internal project, so my job is secured for some time now.
For me it's extra difficult because I moved to a different country and have a really hard time learning the language, which is a must to get a different job here.
- Comment on is it ok if i don't identify as latino?? please don't say otherwise please 5 weeks ago:
I'm born in Poland to Polish parents, but all their parents were born Germans. I moved to Germany when I was 11 and when someone asked me then I said I'm German. But then I moved to Sweden for 15 years, while there I would also say I'm German. I got the Swedish citizenship but you still can hear that I'm not a native Swede, but only Swedish people can hear it. So once I moved to Korea 4 years ago I used my Swedish passport to get in to the country (it was not on purpose but random chance, I could have chosen the polish one or the German one too). Anyway, if someone in Korea asks me where I'm from or what I am I almost always say I'm Swedish. with one exception, if a German here in Korea asks me then I say I'm German.
I know it's a bit easier for me because I look like I could be from any of those countries, but my identity is not tied to some specific geographic area so I have no problem being a geographical-identity-cameleon.

- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
Democracy is just the tyranny of the majority.
I think that most of the Americans want this, even if people on the outside do not understand. So in that sense they are right now winning back their country, as confusing as it might sound.

- Comment on Is china as bad as america makes it out to be? 1 month ago:
I'd say not quite as bad, but it's still pretty bad. Especially if you like freedom, you won't have much fun there.
On the other side if you like political games, bootlicking and bribary you will have a very good time, not as a foreigner, but if you're Han Chinese and from a family which is already established in the party it's quite nice.

- Comment on Radio Station Replaces Journalists With AI 'Presenters' 1 month ago:
In the long run there is no way around it. To be honest if on device voices would be good enough then just sending the text version and let it read on the device in a somewhat natural voice would be kind of cool. I'm already using a special app which just reads any article I share with it in a fairly ok voice and I love this functionality, I don't need to sit down and read a long article on my phone, I can do something else and just make it read the article to me.
What I am worried about though are the people who do the research and who write the texts. Those sadly will also be replaced over time with machines and there is something we will really lose.

Yes it does because as far as I remember I disabled the default launcher with help of adb: https://www.gearrice.com/update/how-to-change-launcher-on-android-tv-and-which-ones-are-the-best/
- Comment on What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option? 2 months ago:
I am using a Chromecast ultra 4k and I replaced the launcher with one which doesn't shown anything but the apps I want it to show in a grid: FLauncher
And then I can use it with the remote as usual for Netflix and all the other apps. It's quite nice doesn't stutter or anything.
I also replaced the YouTube app with the SmartTube one to get rid of sponsors and advertisements in videos.

Pro tip: Install PieFed, it's much easier to run because it's just a python script and it's way easier on the resources than Lemmy.

It was in Sweden.
- Comment on Study hack 2 months ago:
Yeah it was a fully online thing, they also had like a forum where you could talk to the other people taking the course but they just gave everything on day one so you could do it at the pace you wanted.
It was at the University of Umeå https://www.umu.se
- Comment on Study hack 2 months ago:
Before I started university I already worked as a web and iPhone developer.
At university I failed some courses so I needed the points for three additional courses at the end of my studies.
Durin summer vacation I found online courses from a different university which would count towards my own points. So I registered for three of them. Web development, iPhone development and open source development.
When the courses started I waited until the weekend and then did all assignments and tests for all 3 courses during a single day. I started in the morning on Sunday at 10 am and sent in my last test at 11pm. So instead of half a year (one course takes normally half of a semester and I had three), I did it in one day.

- Comment on Why limit immigration? 3 months ago:
The thing is, invasion without immigration following it might kill a lot of the original people but doesn't displace them as a whole.
- Comment on Why limit immigration? 3 months ago:
It depends a bit on how you define immigration. Is what the Spaniards and English did to the Americas immigration or something else?
If the influx of a different culture is so big that it displaces you and your children like it did to the Native Americans, then I understand that you'd want to stop it.

- Comment on So professional looking it must be true 3 months ago:
Oh I forgot to add one thing about the Italian pizza. I've eaten pizza in Rome too, and it was practically as terrible as in Portland.
- Comment on So professional looking it must be true 3 months ago:
I couldn't disagree more. I've also been to Italy, specifically to Napoli, and just the dough alone is phenomenal, something between pancake and bread. Then the fresh tomatoes and mozzarella on top with the fresh basil leaves for the something extra - perfect balance, heaven in my mouth!
I've also been to the US (west coast, Portland) and Jebus, that was terrible. First they don't give you a pizza but a slice of pizza, then it's reheated because they make a lot of it and can't sell it fresh. The toppings is dry ham and tasteless cheese, a ton of cheese, but just flavorless cheese. I tried in a couple of places there with practically the same result. Thanks, but no thanks.
The Swedish pizza is probably what I would say is what you're talking about, tons of toppings and decent dough.
