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).

I'm currently reading Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey, which is the first book of the Expanse series. I haven't watched the TV series, since I wanted to dive into the books without previous knowledge.

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

My first Internet connection was based on GPRS and I remember images taking ages to load and loading in chunks. Moreover the connection kept interfering with the surround audio system and sometimes I would hear noises similar to the dial up modems.

I also remember the first times I tried using eMule (is it still up and running?): I was searching for the video song "Elevation" by U2 but I was unaware of rule 34; you can imagine what I actually downloaded.

Yup, I think you can do that on Tusky by clicking on the human avatar with the plus icon on the right corner of this picture (you can also silence topics with other buttons)

I'm using Tusky, I switched to it some months ago from the official Mastodon app; but I don't remember exactly the missing feature that forced me to switch ahahah

Anyway I am really liking Tusky, it looks modern, clean, fast and personally I did not find any relevant bugs in it.

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.
