Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

Thinking about the Amazon stores and there being no fresh produce, everything has to be in cans and bottles: I would guess around 70% of our weekly shop is fresh fruit and vegetables from the produce section and fresh meat or deli cuts from the butchery section.
There is no way I would go into a store that didn’t have a produce section or an in store butcher’s.
Edit:
Quitting a job: that isn’t as easy here, in Europe. Everywhere I’ve worked has required at least a month’s notice. The last 4 jobs I’ve had required 3 months notice. There are cases, where the 3 months don’t have to be observed, such as during the probationary period, where it is usually a week or gross misconduct, where you will be marched off the site straight away.
Babel: in English, it is pronounced Babe-l. To talk incoherently is to babble.

Oh boy, do I look forward to hear you guys discuss “Truth Social” next week. Then again, it’s like a nightmare re-emerging. At least in time for Halloween. Given the big blue Metaverse, we are heading deeper and deeper into that brave new world.

Small correction about phone pricing. The Pixel 6 is not half the price of the iPhone 13; the latter is $799 for the 128GB model. (And includes mm wave, for what it’s worth (not much now, honestly)).

Regarding the conversation about how Podcasters aren’t making any money. I haven’t heard it talked about on any twit shows (may have missed it), but there are some podcasts that now accept bitcoin donations directly through various podcasting apps. Pretty cool. I use the Breeze app on IOS which makes it pretty easy. Using the app, you can send -x- satoshi’s per minute to the podcaster, or any time send a ‘boost’ of any specified amount. I like the idea of paying the creators directly. Club twit…another good example of directly supporting the podcast creators without third parties (Spotify/Patreon, etc)

TWiT had a BitCoin tipjar years ago…
Yes and all the bitcoin received in that tip jar is safe. Very safe. Well, too safe, actually.

Looks like Truth Social, the Donald’s new social site, is a fork of Mastodon. So why not get ahead of the game and join https://twit.social. Also Mastodon. I wonder if they’ll federate?

They are not only forking Mastodon - they are violating the AGPL3 license!

Check out the Verge story on Delphi… essentially no better than a Magic 8-ball…

If Assassins Creed Odyssey taught me anything (and it taught me surprisingly much), I learned that the original Oracle, Pythia, was in permanent trance due to intoxication from a natural gas leak in the floor beneath the temple. So at least the label “Delphi” might be on par with these modern tools’ performances.

can we get time codes for the social media discussion in the future, so one can easily skip it?
not that i mind those discussions in principle, but i hate spending 20 minutes to an hour every week on essentially the same discussion, that ends with “we’re not gonna find a solution here and now” every time.
plus it’s usually not really news of the week material anyway.

I love this show. I think it really should be called This Week in Banter because that’s what I really like - the far-reaching conversations among you. Such a great group of people to listen in to.
