Is this different than hosting an ftp server?

FTC has been asleep at the wheel for 50 years

There are many free apps that can generate soundscapes like this.

Because their platform becomes more desirable for creators. They've had issues with this in the past, Taylor Swift pulled all her music from spotify at one point due to the lower than average royalties. That's a situation they'd like to avoid in the future because it'll cause people to drop their subscription.

Streaming and hosting white noise on their servers costs them money, most people who are using these podcasts probably just do it while they're asleep and happen to have a spotify subscription. These people aren't going to cancel a subscription because they need another app for white noise.

Spotify could add a generator for white noise soundscapes to their app, but there are countless applications that do this already for free, including open source options. If they aren't giving money to people uploading soundscapes, they can take more money from monthly subscriptions themselves and give more to artists, increasing their profits and making their platform more desirable than their competitors, which has been an issue for them in the past with criticism from major artists and indies alike.

Overall these noise streams exist to game the system by getting people to play for a long time on content that's probably just made by hitting the play button on a generator app written by someone other than the uploader, and it's likely the only reason it happens is people don't want to download an additional free app for that task

One of the main things I feel is missing is there doesn't seem to be a way to view and track all tasks in all your pages, I generally like tasks to live with the relevant info rather than in the journals. Do you know if there's a way to get something like that?

I've been using Logseq and syncing via syncthing, but you can sync with any file syncing service

Unfortunately I think this might be unironically true for them

It'll automatically show tagged blocks from other pages in a special section. I don't know if it has anything as advanced as data view though, I haven't felt the need for anything other than displaying references. The plugin ecosystem seems decent, but I mostly just use basic functionality.

I've been using a Foss alternative called Logseq that's very similar.

I don't know how this is news, 3.2% is a pretty healthy number.

This, or just dropping the wet tire all together would make a lot of sense. Cars aren't allowed to race in full wet conditions anymore because the spray is so bad, so having the full wet tire is just a waste.

I don't understand why you'd be fixing unit tests he broke during his pr. It seems like he might be bullying you? Maybe discuss with your manager.

It's way easier to communicate a terminal based solution over the internet. Instead of making a guide with images, possibly needing annotation, you can just say "run x, y, z in order" and the user can just copy and paste it (even though it's a bad habit to run random commands off the internet)

The firewall thing is definitely a major oversight.

I'd imagine most apps you need should run under waydroid

If it is a conspiracy that strategy can't work forever, eventually republican voters will give up if their party stays too small of a minority for too long, then we can have contests between actually candidates again.

Airbnb really needs to crack down on chores, and start treating hosts the way ebay treats sellers. If you wanna run an unregulated hotel you'd better fucking act like a hotel manager, not somebody's mom. They've got people climbing over each other to be hosts, so they can afford to give bad ones the shaft.
