AntennaPod is great. It's open source and has everything you need. The only ads are whatever the podcast has in them, but you can skip forward past them. I also pay for Spotify, but I still use AntennaPod for podcasts.

ChatGPT should be plenty good for any foundational questions you have. And asking "how could I improve this code" with a code snippet can give you insight into better ways to do things. If you ask it for broad responses like "write me an app for relaxation sounds", I can guarantee that it won't work, but using it alongside a tutorial when you have questions or get an error can save so much time.

Oh how the tables have turned, America! How does it feel??

In case anybody doesn't know, this happens (or at least use to) for a lot of stuff in Canada. Or like $28 of import fees for a $13 product.

On my pi, I run kodi with the YouTube add-on. Then I use NewPipe on my phone which has an option to send to kodi. Too easy. I wish I could move away from kodi as it's not all that great anymore, but this flow is just too easy for me.

Thanks. That's what I was assuming. My job is remote, so that income is fine.

That would be ideal. Although I think the fact that we would be moving between provinces might be a bit suspect for lenders.

I'm thinking about moving from BC to Alberta to have the ability to buy my first home. My partner is currently pregnant and we were thinking of moving during her maternity leave so we have some extra income when applying for a mortgage. But would this income even be considered when applying since it isn't continuing after her leave? She also probably wouldn't be returning to the same job if we move to a different province.

John Dies at the End by David Wong/Jason Pargin. It's very colloquial

Any time I'm reminded we use a FPTP (first past the post) system, I think about how Canadian that sounds. Like it's a frickin hockey game.

I would download a car

It's so stupid. The problem with the housing market isn't that I don't have a proper account to keep a $200k down payment that is needed.
