Castro allows you to compress the silent parts of a podcast, They claim it can reduce podcast listening time by 10-20%. (I haven’t measured.) I’m fairly sure other podcast apps have the same feature.

Armpits are underrated.

If you go into it thinking it's going to be terrible because that's all you've heard, controversy and drama... It actually wasn't bad🤷🏽

Not amazing or anything.

But it was a little longer than the cartoon. They added a couple new songs (when she can't speak she's singing in her mind now 🤣🤣)

In my opinion the cartoon I had at a 9 because I had a crush on Ariel as a kid. But without that it's maybe an 8. This one in my mind is maybe a 6 or 7. Definitely watchable. Funny at times. Definitely a kids movie.

To me the best parts of the cartoon were Ariel was hot and Sebastian was hilarious. To me the best parts of this one is Sebastian is hilarious, but gets outshined by Awkafina as the seagull skuttlebutt and she even has a pretty entertaining song called skuttlebutt near the end. 🤷🏽

The things you're supposed to be mad at and that are controversial, them race swapping the character. Wasn't really in my head at all. Every sister is a different race and it just makes me think about different mythologies and their siren stories... But the one thing that did irl me was that the dad is 1 race then all the daughters are different races and I'm like oh cool dude you're an equal opportunity fucker. Rad I like em exotic too🤷🏽

But then I started looking at them and I was like... None of your kids look like you dude... They can be different races but like wouldn't they have at least SOME of your qualities? Unless it's the fish tail... But it's not because all of those are different colors and have different fins too🤷🏽

But whatever

Peter Suderman wrote a comparative review of The Little Mermaid and Across the Spider-Verse:

“[The Little Mermaid’s] inclusion efforts feel more like mandatory H.R. training than any meaningful program of cultural expansion. . . .

“Spider-Verse, in contrast, uses its self-conscious displays of diversity as a portal into a wild and exuberant exploration of human individuality. It's a movie that finds joy and wonder in its portrayal of a multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-attitudinal world of Spider-Men and Spider-Women and Spider-Somethingelses, whereas The Little Mermaid treats its diversity updates as a cautious exercise in obligatory box-checking.”

nostr:npub1g0wmxtcsjnnmq7x2vdpymczss47ch5gzuwfkw47s22lehvklxa2scpuvzk As far as I can tell, I can only set anything like that in the profile metadata, where I can interact with a table where I can make custom labels and content (which I only use right now to show my pronouns so dudes stop sending me dick pics). I can put whatever I want in there, but I don't quite understand if that information can be utilized by Nostr if entered that way.

I’m only a little familiar with Mastodon, and I haven’t quite figured out how Mostr fits in. Maybe try adding your Lightning Address to your profile with a “lud16” label? It probably won’t work, but I don’t know what else to try.

I think they’re talking about ActivityPub keys there, but it looks like your Nostr private key is derived from your ActivityPub ID plus some secret in a configuration file. Every time you post a note to Nostr, Mostr regenerates your key to sign it. There’s no API to just return your private key.

nostr:npub1g0wmxtcsjnnmq7x2vdpymczss47ch5gzuwfkw47s22lehvklxa2scpuvzk From what I can tell by combing through some discussions on Mastodon's github, my key was obviously generated upon account creation, but that information is kept hidden from Mastodon users for security reasons.

A user can’t even see his own private key?

nostr:npub1g0wmxtcsjnnmq7x2vdpymczss47ch5gzuwfkw47s22lehvklxa2scpuvzk I feel like I'm still basically stuck at the same point. How can I access my profile on a proper Nostr client when the only info that exists for my profile is a public key? I've made a separate profile so that I could log in to Nostr just to look at my mstdn.jp profile, but unless there's some way to consolidate these two profiles or gain access to a private key I never generated I'm not sure how to access anything.

You don’t have the private key for #[2]​ ? Does Mostr.pub have it?
