  • These are the ones I listen to the most, I think all of them are weekly

    • secretly incredibly fascinating. They talk about a simple topic and expand it with a lot of trivia and the hosts are very funny.
    • 99% invisible. Mostly about architecture that you don’t notice but they give a lot of cool info (lately some episodes get off topic or I simply don’t like them but they have a huge archive that I listen to)
    • my brother my brother and me: just stupid comedy from 3 brothers giving “advice”
    • dear Hank and John: the brothers Green giving science-ish advice

  • I learned with calm.com

    They have a course of mediation for beginners or something like that and they “teach” different methods so you can choose whichever suits you the most

    There used to be a 3-month trial which is enough to go through the course (I didn’t keep my subscription), I’m not sure if they still offer trials like that




  • I only use it for /r/nfl now, that community is great at creating memes and posting highlights as soon as it happens and I still visit a few niche subreddits but they too got even smaller, probably a lot of us switched to just lurking instead of actively participating

    My country’s sub got taken by a pro-government group, I used it to see the news and know what was happening there but now you can’t find any news that criticize the government or that show the country in a bad manner. We had a meme sub and that was taken over too so it became trash




  • She is a puppet of the current president, she was apponted by himself

    That said, the opposition was also a woman but she was an unknown and 3 parties with different views allied to launch her as candidate

    The party is projected to have qualified majority of the Congress and maybe senate so they’ll be able to do a bunch of stuff so that may be worrying

    They have done a lot of good stuff but also they are full of corruption like cancelling a great airport that still needs to be paid and building a shitty one very far away that no one wants to use and that interferes with the operation of the other airport so it doesn’t really help with congestion

    Sheinbaum is a climate scientist so I’m curious about who she’ll appoint to the energy commission because the current government is all-in on carbon



  • Installed Mint last week after a ~10 year hiatus from using Linux (other than Debian on RPi)

    I was surprised at how everything just works, even my network HP all-in-one worked after a simple “search for printer” and it also added it as a scanner without any input from me. In windows I had to install HPsmart software, login every few days for some reason and then some days it just refuses to work altogether

    I also connected it to my home theater and I was able to set up 5.1 sound without any additional installations. In windows it took me several hours to fix this and sometimes the link between the laptop and the HT would be cut for some reason in the middle of a movie and I had to restart everything
