@caseyliss I was just last night extolling its virtues (again) to my wife. Congrats! Feature request: app-wide option to hide ratings. If I recall you are also someone for whom others’ collective rating is distracting
@siracusa Amazing to think I’ve been listening to a podcast so long that they’re making podcasts about it

@siracusa I can vividly hear the sounds of this classic
@rationaldoge I was too young when it came out, but will add it to my watch list. Finally watched Defending Your Life. I imagine 1984 will be a different experience

@rationaldoge Less depressingly (perhaps), I did enjoy Orwell’s potential anticipation of an LLM: “The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department. The words of these songs were composed without any human intervention whatever on an instrument known as a versificator.”
@rationaldoge I have been re-reading this. Yesterday's gut punch: “They could not alter your feelings; for that matter you could not alter them yourself, even if you wanted to. They could lay bare in the utmost detail everything that you had done or said or thought; but the inner heart, whose workings were mysterious even to yourself, remained impregnable.”
