This reminded me of Ersatz TV [1], which on checking appears to have gone into maintenance mode a few weeks ago. I had wanted to use something that lets me set up an EPG with all of the YouTube channels I watch, to see their live streams in

This is a great innovation and I'm sure in time it'll become a useful source of information. There are some edge cases of course. If you live on the Irish border, you'll have a choice between getting your petrol on the UK sid

This video feed feels like I'm watching some Adam Curtis b-roll live. Currently the camera, based in Israel, is panning across the land to catch explosions as the plumes of smoke rise, with people talking, music from the radio, or occa

This was discussed previously, but this is because of a court case that Warner Music and Sony brought against radio streaming app TuneIn Radio. They argued that streaming stations outside of the UK for listeners inside the UK through the ap

For anyone in the area to visit this, also consider a visit to the nearby Cramlington Giant Spoon. https://maps.app.goo.gl/BgeEKxaoKrbJtQFz7

Yeah, one of my favourite examples from Commie is the treatment they gave to the opening for Lovestory (Koimonogatari) from the Monogatari series. The visuals of the opening itself flit and transition between old 80s style shoujo animation

One of the big uses of Aegisub that I remember from many years ago is anime fansubbing, which also drove the specification for the subtitle format it uses, ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha), which continues to see huge use today and is much m

I can't see anything here that's notably different from Radio Garden. Radio Garden got so popular that they were forced to stop streaming stations from outside the UK to listeners inside the UK. [1] This is thanks to a lawsuit inv

As an aside, if you need to play with datetime objects in Ruby, you almost certainly want to be using the Time library instead of the DateTime library, even though one of them sounds like it fits better. At the top of the DateTime docs [1]:

Thank you so much! Will be very happy to move to something that isn't YouTube Music.

I wonder if anyone knows if the mobile apps can cache music for offline listening? It's the only feature that's keeping me using YouTube Music's Uploads (formerly Google Play Music).

By most accounts the Elizabeth line in its operational phase has been a great success. According to the ORR's (Office of Road and Rail) first annual report after opening the central section of the Elizabeth line, passenger numbers have

Not passing judgement on this at all, but just giving you another data point. Every so often, Hololive, a famous Virtual YouTuber agency, debuts a new set of talents by introducing their biographies and Twitter accounts. Because they'r

This reminded me of the Hidden London tours, which allow guided access to staff-only disused and abandoned parts of the London Underground. There's a real excitement in taking a peek behind one of these dusty, abandoned-looking doors y

As an adjunct to this, the UK, which might have joined this scheme if it was still part of the EU, is now developing its own system called the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) [1]. It'll cost £10 for two years. Currently only in u

The one that jumped out was Magical Girl Raising Project, which a younger me might have described as dark and edgy, but me today would call misery porn (it's not actually porn, just to be clear). Now that I browse again, most are reall

Note that this article shouldn't necessarily be used as a way to find new things to watch; there are some clangers in there to avoid. I also need to call out Takayama in Gifu prefecture, which is the basis for the fictional Kamiyama fr

I should note that John Simpson was being interviewed about this article on BBC News last night and said they had the same policy for the IRA during the Troubles, and had the same accusations thrown at them by politicians then as they are n

I will not be taking questions, but I do find it interesting to see which characters show up in which languages. Also, it made me smile that we have a Ruby reading about Ruby. [1] [1]: https://github.com/cat-milk/Anime-

As with Northern Irish bank notes, which have a similar place in English society to the Scottish ones. The pub I went to got very confused when I presented a £10 note issued by the Bank of Ireland, which I guess would be confusing if you ha

Just to try to provide a little more context on this. This was in the wake of an unprecedented heatwave. The all-time record high temperature was set that day, and even though this was set in a different part of the country from where Caled

I use open banking regularly, the real killer feature I've found is the ability to view all of my accounts together in one place, and very easily move money between them. (Yolt did this for free, but it's shutting down. Other apps

I wish there were more videos of the history of MTV's lower third graphics, their house style, and the evolution of those over time. Watching MTV as a kid I loved the look of the station, and how it never stood still for very long.
