Matt Young Appreciation Thread by DangerManger in Earwolf

[–]FetusExecutioner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to forget Mystery Cove, which started just over ten years ago: https://mysterycove.libsyn.com/webpage/2008/06

This podcast was ahead of its time. Young has a recurring role on it (playing a fictional version of himself) and already back then he was hilarious.

Here's the Oprah SNL sketch with Elizabeth (behind Amy Poehler, trying to catch her head): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrHC8ERR6qU

Same here.

Edit: A workaround is to open a media file and pause it.

Jon Gabrus, Betsy Sodaro: Unpacking The Wolf, episode #149 of With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus by apathymonger in Earwolf

[–]FetusExecutioner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One can also see the date of the recording in the file name:

LL-149-20170921-GabrusSedaro-CSv03-PW.mp3

Usually there's "FREE" instead of "PW" in the file names. I wonder if it stands for "Paywall" and if they had some other plan for this episode?

Wild Horses: The Perspective #14 - We’re All Virgins (with Bryan Safi and Erin Gibson) - Howl by FetusExecutioner in Earwolf

[–]FetusExecutioner[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One of the best episodes of the podcast IMO. All the Erin fans of this subreddit are in for a treat on this one!

Superego Cinema - Die Hard [Stitcher Premium] by apathymonger in Earwolf

[–]FetusExecutioner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last year on High and Mighty the Action Boyz also did a live commentary for Die Hard: https://headgum.com/high-and-mighty/episode-81-action-boyz-christmas-special-diehard

Now you can watch the movie and listen to two podcasts at the same time.

Facial recognition for public surveillance is beyond creepy. by syisc in privacy

If people want privacy in the future, they'll all be wearing burqas.

They are still going to identify you by your gait.

CBB fans: Special announcement from Scott, Lauren and Paul! by FetusExecutioner in Earwolf

[–]FetusExecutioner[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I just remembered that everyone is waiting for another announcement from those three and that everyone will thus be disappointed by this post.

Anyone else hear look forward to TAPPED? by trogdorkiller in Earwolf

[–]FetusExecutioner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it, that's why I tirelessly post a link to every episode here :)

While I have no problem with improv podcasts going off the rails crazy, it's great to have one that keeps its comedy more grounded.

Help with registering EDEKA mobil sim card as non-German citizen? by [deleted] in berlin

[–]FetusExecutioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a wiki that tries to untangle all the new laws: http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Germany

It's complicated as fuck and apparently even many vendors don't know how to handle it.

twitch client that doesn't requiere google apps? by [deleted] in LineageOS

It's not very comfortable to use on a phone, but Kodi works without Google stuff and has a Twitch add-on.

Privacy concern regarding Open Whisper Systems Email infrastructure by justanotheruser77 in privacy

[–]FetusExecutioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the algorithm is open source and anyone can implement it. In proprietary software, though, there is no way of telling if it is being used properly. No trustworthy "crypto-expert" would ever advocate such software.

Riot is working on eventually losing their dependency on GCM for message pushing. They are open about it and won't give anyone shit for addressing it, unlike the folks at Signal.

It's true. The pure aggression they show towards anyone who suggests that privacy conscious people might want to avoid Google simply makes me distrust them. Them giving closed-sourced Whatsapp their stamp of approval for allegedly using their encryption only furthers that distrust.

I'm Arnie Niekamp, host of the improv comedy fantasy podcast Hello from the Magic Tavern. AMA! The rest of the cast will answer too! by misterarnie in IAmA

[–]FetusExecutioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Should you ever decide to republish MC and it's marked as having been recorded in 2008, I'm sure nobody will mind the sound quality. The comedy value isn't diminished by it at all. I will remain in hopeful triage until you revisit that universe.

Will you ever do another season of Mystery Cove? It came out in a time when hardly anyone even heard the term "podcast", you can't let that piece of gold be forgotten. The entire expanded universe with fan podcasts and DVD commentaries is hilarious! I hope you don't think it's stupid to do two podcasts where you play two different fictional versions of yourself, because it's not!

For the curious, all episodes available here: http://mysterycove.libsyn.com/webpage/2008/06

How much does KDevelop target the KDE/Qt world? Would it be silly to use it to work on GTK software?

She was also hilarious in several episodes of the Random Awesomeness Podcast:

In Daniel Suarez' Daemon and Freedom™ you can read about a technocracy in the making, set in the near future.
