Is that an OCaml reference/joke?

I'm reading "So You Want to Be a Game Master" by Justin Alexander and "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson.

I also have "Needful Things" by Stephen King and "The Great Hunt" (The Wheel of Time book 2) by Robert Jordan sitting at roughly 50%, but they currently are in pause; unfortunately reading more than 2 books simultaneously is difficult if you also have to work.

They revoked the "English only" rule in August. Source.

Hi, I purchased the ads-free version of Boost for Lemmy on my smartphone through the "Remove ads" button. However on a different device (tablet) I still see the "remove ads" button (while on the phone it is now correctly not shown) in the left sidebar. Does it take some time for the new setting to be detected? I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and deleting all the data after forcefully closing the app, but the button is still there.

To be honest, I'm not seeing ads right now, so maybe it's just a UI problem? I will post updates here in case I see ads even after purchasing the ads free version.

"Why not? You and I are eccentrics. We’re certainly not typical of the people living on Terminus. As for criminals, that’s a matter of definition. And if criminals are the price we must pay for rebels, heretics, and geniuses, I’m willing to pay it. I demand the price be paid. [...] You can't have geniuses and saints without having people far outside the norm, and I don't see how you can have on only one side of the norm. There is bound to be a certain symmetry." - Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov

I'm still reading it and I'm halfway through it. I agree in recommending it! Moreover gapminder (which is the source of most of the stats) now has data updated up to the year 2022.

There are a ton of good content creators I follow, mostly in the edutainment field; I'll post three of them (the first three that came up in my mind) for the YouTube and Podcast category

I'm using PocketCasts and I paid a one-time fee before it became subscription based (but there's still a free tier), in order to be able to listen to podcast using the web app on PC. Thus I now have lifetime premium access.

I'm very satisfied with their service, I did not find any problems with both the Android app and the web app, moreover it has almost every feature I need, except voice to text conversion in order to be able to share slices of audio in text format (but there are dedicated apps for that).

Aren't voice and video calls (basically VoIP) what Turn (coturn) is supposed to support?

I just started this series this year by picking up Going Postal, which I finished something like a month ago. I liked it a lot and as my "gateway drug" into the Discworld, I think I will always have good memories of it.
