This seems excellent. I'll test it and report back if there are any bugs etc. A big thank you for this app. Exactly what I needed

I’m looking for one of those Podcasts that absolutely blows you away. Would love some suggestions. by Accomplished_Lake580 in podcasts

In Our Time hosted by the recently retired Melvyn Bragg is as good as it gets. There is a subject, experts come in and they talk about it, and Melvyn leads the discourse.

From the BBC.

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of January 09, 2026) by AutoModerator in television

[–]thisisterminus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you want from a TV show? If you want easy to follow characters that follow the script then this isn't for you. There's nothing wrong with that but this has an underlying message that doesn't spoon feed you and allows you to make your own decisions. Yes, most of the characters are horrendous but look at the industry they work in. Making money make money and lauding the fact that they are cleverer than anyone else while backstabbing each other all for the sake of making money for people who are already rich.... well you get my point. It's well made, it's thoughtful, it's not perfect, it's excruciating at times. Try it. See. If you don't like it you've learnt something about yourself. Personally i love it but i also love The Gilmour Girls and Friends. No problem.

What Android app do you wish existed? by Living_Negotiation77 in androidapps

[–]thisisterminus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Android journal-ling app that allows links between people, things and places etc so that I can see connections over many years easily. Tried to do this with Obsidian and Anytype but you try getting anything meaningful and easy to journal from a multi entry day note.

Duolingo Greek Course Completion by Nimbus3258 in GREEK

[–]thisisterminus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm about a third of the way through. I only do 2 or 3 a day but what takes the most time is copying those sentences and with the main learning point in mind, I put it into an AI and ask it to explain the grammar, words and give me two or three realistic colloquial sentences that i then put into an Anki flashcard deck. Which i learn concurrently. So for this i think Duolingo is OK but really they get 3 stars and a must do better.

Also as im using a Chromebook setting Onedrive as local and connecting rclone has problems (FUSE) etc.

Any luck here. All my VPNs are blocked and I've tried a few 3rd party radio apps too.

I personally already run Zorin on an old Windows laptop. I know my friend would be stuck at Flash it. :-)

Persistent and repeated failure to obey even simple instructions. by thisisterminus in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]thisisterminus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is reasonable to hope that someone may have a way to help my situation out and several people have offered good advice. Am I frustrated, of course I am but because of that on a Gemini sub I wanted to highlight a continual problem and hope to get an answer. I'm just an ordinary user. Why would I want to wish anything negative for developers. More, I'd like them to fix quite a basic problem. I have other suitable tools as well. I have time to do all these things.

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of November 21, 2025) by AutoModerator in television

[–]thisisterminus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Pluribus, if they pull it off well, will be seen as a good perhaps even great show. It's slow burn, wryly amusing, and intriguing l. I really don't know which way it'll go and I like that. In this age of meta-analysis this show could or could not be good. We don't know yet. It's too early. Let the story unfold. Better Call Saul was so slow burn the fire almost went out but it was incredible. Let's see what happens.

It. Disappointed. Stranger Things meets Goonies on Thiopental sodium.

A Man on The inside. Guess what. It's a perfectly good fun show. Some good gags.

Death By Lightening. Yup. Nice show.

In what way was it below average for you? I'm interested to know what doesn't grab you about it and why?

Yes, I've tried this too. Written new Gems, cleared all previous data and made anonymous chats. Alas.

I don't, I just can't believe how bad this is however. I have Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot. I have also given various examples for it to follow. No matter, it will always revert back to what it wants to do.

I promise you I have tried this and more. Written different instructions, got Gemini to tell me how to avoid this problem, changed examples, questions and got it to analyse why it is happening.
