Barcelona will eliminate ALL tourist apartments in 2028 following local backlash: 10,000-plus licences will expire in huge blow for platforms like Airbnb
  • I fully agree with the prioritization of meeting basic needs before luxury. The detail I would like see happen is making sure that people have a chance to see more than their own area at some point in their lives. See how other people live for a time. I do think there can be better connections for humanity when we can see the lives of others.

    I took a trip with some college buddies. We went on a cruise and stopped in Nassau and some of them had some real shock seeing a city with not as much wealth. The just hadn't considered that clean streets, sidewalks, and traffic lights didn't exist everywhere.

  • How am I supposed to decide who to vote for in local elections?
  • The local newspapers in my area send each candidate in every race a form of question that they then print. Typically it is very easy to tell which candidates understand what the that form is, there are those that don't understand, and then there are ones that don't return it. It's makes choosing much easier for me. I'll still pull of websites and check past news articles for each one I am considering.

    Support your local newspapers!

  • Teenagers. (I'm 17)
  • Don't sweat it man. I've seen null pointer dereferencing cause drones to fall out of the sky so this is not that bad. One time I did a code change that disabled an e-stop feature that stopped the propellers from spinning. Thankfully no fingers were lost because of that! The code was reviewed and passed the software simulation tests at the time. It just got missed.

  • I'm deGoogling. What's my new Podcast app?
  • I'm using PodcastRepublic on Android right now. It does a fantastic job of organizing my daily playlist for exactly what order I prefer to listen to episodes. The down side is that there is no easy way to translate this nice playlist stuff to the browser website. The state of the website is "mostly functional" and plays audio. Not much else. There is no sync to the Android app.

    What I am going to try next is Audiobookshelf with a python script on their API to get the same playlist sorting features. I've got the architecture written out, but haven't gotten the time to write the code.

    Reading into gpodder here is making want to give that a try, but the only website listed on this table doesn't say it syncs playback progress.

    So what I'm looking for is something this can sort playlists like PodcastRepublic and sync playback progress like PocketCasts. AFAIK that combo doesn't exist right now.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025
  • Even heavy gamers are getting a much better experience on Linux these days (yay Proton!). There are a couple of anti-cheat systems that are still trouble some, but honestly if the developers don't want to to put in the much smaller amount of effort to make it work on Linux, I don't want to give them my money.

  • Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service
  • No clue what you're talking about. I've got an SMA connector on the back of my TV. The did government subsidized conversation boxes. It worked about the same as a VCR. Tune the TV to a specific channel and then use the convertor as the tuner. That by no means caused TVs no to longer than SMA connectors. That was due to TV manufacturers also having their fingers in streaming services. Gotta love that vertical integration!

  • So this is why he doesn't do Linux... any more
  • If he's not there, he's pretty close. That level is about 500k a year or maybe a bit more for Vancouver. He talked about living a year at a lower salary to show his kids how the majority of people live. So wagering a guess that he takes home enough that it makes life experiences different.

  • The owner was obviously happy to be rid of the old stock. They knew it wasn't moving. It is tech waste for a majority of the western world. Yes that stuff is still useful in other places arithe world, but it's just not particular to have it in a shop in urban Canada. The owner was obviously a good sport to play the games the video and expressed gratitude to be able to sell a bunch of stuff.

    You've missed some social cues or are looking for any small thing to pounce on. Go touch grass.
