  • For me (europe) it is:

    • 2,99 = 50GB
    • 9,99 = 2TB

    Everyone with a family or social life has between 20-200GB photos and videos. Notice how there is no plan for 5,99 = 1TB. You either do not back up everything and pay 3€, or you pay a tener per month to have a cloud storage that is always 50-70% empty but still have to pay for.

    I will be the first to leave Apple iCloud if there is a viable solution that works like apples own OS integration without jumping through hoops and losing albums and meta data






  • My pocket cast stats: You’ve listened for 115 days 14 hours

    Honorable mentions not yet seem in this thread (English only):

    • The Guardian: The Audio long read - full articles read by real people (30-45 min.)
    • Economist: Drum Tower - China correspondence about culture and politics
    • Aquired - 3h+ episodes about tech IPO and the history of companies. Sounds boring but it gives a look behind the curtain of the tech industry from the 30s to today (fun example episode: PowerPoint)
    • WNYC: On the media - Meta talk about media topics and enshittification
    • Law and Chaos - Previously on Opening Arguments, now in their own podcast: US justice topics, GOP bashing and of course: Trump





  • How do you solve the discoverability issue? A platform gives you some place where people could stumble upon you, while a website is an island in the middle of an ocean that people have to actively browse to. Do you crosspost your new work now more to get the word seen by others? I find it hard to believe that people would like to browse to x different websites to see if an artist has new works, only to find out that they don’t. For finding new artist a central place or a feed, like a platform can provide, seems to be nearly impossible to replace.
