Sonic the Comic the Podcast, it's about how we were kids in the 90s. https://stctp.zone Mastodon: https://speedlines.stctp.zone/@demontomatodave Youtube: https://youtube.com/demontomatodave In the dead place I was @demontomatodave

If you've ever set foot outside the dead centre of a city, you'll know this is completely unviable. I barely ever stray outside Manchester, and even I find places every year with no phone reception despite being highly populated. I'm talking about town centres even.

I know most of us don't have landlines (wasn't even an option when I moved to a new build in 2021). But many older and rural folk do, and they depend on them in emergencies. More fallout of privatising things that should be public. + if you don't like it? Government says complain to your provider.

Ad on a tv screen. Landlines switch off 31.01.2027. Don't lose your connection. Contact your provider today. The big switch off. Openreach.

Sometimes when I'm listening to a classic record from the 80s or 90s, I get ever so worried in case the samples weren't properly cleared! I certainly hope that if any paperwork wasn't properly filed, that my ability to hear this record is removed remotely by an Authority.

windows is like "well he MUST want a Contributing Artist column for the raw wavs he's using to make his podcast. He MUST want a # and Title and Album column in this folder of jingles he's made himself, ALL OF WHICH ARE WAVS, A FORMAT THAT CANNOT HAVE THAT KIND OF METADATA

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

The only exception is when they themselves engaje with our content, then you should let them react and even incentivize them to do so. The algorithm on Instagram/TikTok/Youtube will understand that as them liking that content and wanting to see more of it
