How does the decentralized nature of Mastodon make the social media experience different from other social media platforms and what kind of expectations should people have? Amazon Prime Video now has a “Dialogue Boost” in select shows in English. And Nvidia is reaping the rewards of its push towards AI GPGPU designs. Is this a space ripe for a competing player?

The Leak Shall Inherit the Earth - GDI 4501 starts at 31:14

When should you ignore the rumor and leaks on tech products? Are you a fan of spoilers? Is the news about a stolen prototype reported fair game? When does a rumor become the story? Do you remember the Apple car, what about the Facebook phone? Do you want to be surprised about a new product instead of being spoiled with leaks? Roger talks to people. Do you want more excitement about product releases? Smartphone talk takes over. The group discusses a rumor they heard that turned out to be fake. Did the group figure out how Skynet is going to take over the world? Is Roger from the future? Tom and Sarah talk about Coachella. Pour one out for Netflix DVD’s. Is this game based on the books or the show?

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Annalee Newitz, Roger Chang, Amos, Joe.

Loved the show! First time putting faces to your names lol Mastodon has started to feel like home to me also as it has become the micro blogging platform of choice. I left Twitter in the first wave of "quitters" after the change of ownership. I remembered I had tried Mastodon a few years ago (thought it was dead), so tried it again and now really like it. I get more interaction than I ever did on the bird site LOL You can find me at @wutwutman@twit.social and @wutwutman@mastodon.world.
