They have a PODCAST??
I remember, back in 2010, when podcasts were new, NPR had a whole webpage explaining the concept to people, and how to subscribe to them, and that the only people who weren't NPR that were making podcasts were people with very niche interests, like Satanists or Furries.
Now every dipshit has a podcast, and they all suck shit
I just appreciate your willingness to be gender inclusive :)
2010?
The ‘pod’ part of podcast comes from iPod, they are from like 2004.
They even tried to make ‘vodcast’ a thing when the video iPod came out.
I bet kids today don’t even understand the original concept of everything being offline that you would have software to download episodes of podcasts from RSS feeds and automatically upload them to your iPod on the next sync.
Like you had to plan ahead before leaving the house. There were definitely times I was late leaving the house because I was waiting for my iPod sync to finish so I would have podcasts to listen to on my commute.
It was so small and unique. The daily source code was kind of the “look at this cool thing” of podcasting back in the day.
3g data really shifted podcast long from its original form to an on demand model.
Crazy how different and mainstream it all is now.
It does almost feel like a failure on our part that the Gen Zers I meet typically see devices as completely solid-state and always online. But it’s almost one step further than that, there was somebody on here a few weeks ago talking about that being able to take your music in with you from the car would have been sci-fi in the 70s and I was like cassettes are portable… It’s almost like the tendency to look at past generations as less capable than your own has also been dialed up to 11 in the current crop of college aged Gen Zers especially. But this has just been my personal experience.
How cute, she has a LinkedIn profile, I'm sure some creative people can do something useful with such information.
find her address place ten cameras around it and broadcast her whole life to the world
Oh you can just bet she hates the idea of thousands of people knowing her exact whereabouts at anytime of the day.
Can see her tone deaf public statement about harassment and calls for civility.

[✓ Passed Linkedin Skills assessment]I don't know what to do with this information
I'm not even sure that this qualifies as information. It's just a list of increasingly disjointed things.
