I don't listen to podcasts but to answer this question
But since I am paying for Spotify I am expecting not to have to listen to any ads.
Companies are forced to increase revenue every year. It means the amount of crap will just keep on increasing.
Mostly because of the amount of good quality content. But as I said, I've moved to radarr/sonarr so I interact with less and less.
I'm a pretty good cook with a focus on bread making. I've been working on a perfect pizza recipe for years. I always have a frozen pizza dough in case of an emergency :)
My perfect pizza is thin, with mozzarella cheese in the crust, made on a pizza iron cast plate (way better than pizza stone) - I don't have a pizza oven yet.
Ingredients from the bottom - pizza dough, tomato sauce (with basil, oregano and garlic), cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar), red onion, ham, mushrooms, a little bit of cheese, oregano and jalapenos.
As for the store/take out pizza - I will never eat frozen market pizza and most of the global franchises are at best mediocre. I have few local places I like to order pizza from. They are good enough but still I prefer my own pizza.
It's a complex and polarising issue. The main problem is that some, sometimes most, of immigrants don't want to assimilate. They are creating ghettos, don't respect local laws. Other issue is that governments prefer to spend tax payer money for accommodating immigrants instead of solving nation's issues.
I wouldn't limit immigration per se. I would limit unchecked illegal immigration and spend more money on assimilating immigrants that want to contribute to a country they moved into.
Yes, I do. I'm a devops engineer and even "coding camp devs" have problems understanding what I do for a living.
I think you answered your own question. You asked about "retard", not about R-word. Some snowflakes will get offended on behalf other people but normal people will just acknowledge rude language and move on.
Flatpak is not the answer here. For example, flatpak version of codium doesn't recognise terminal settings out of the box. Since such trivial thing is a problem, image how difficult it would be to use it with various file systems, sync options, etc.
Corporations need to make profit somehow. I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or two Spotify would introduce payed plan with ads.
