100 Years is apparently a short film. Rodriguez stated in a 2019 interview:

I was making several short films for them, and I finished that one first, we shot that one first, I thought that was gonna be a commercial or something. And then I showed them the movie and they said "Yeah, that's great, that's great. That's the one we lock away." And I said, "What? That's the one you lock away? What about the other one with the future..." "No, that's the commercial."

I found out while watching an Interview with Claudio Miranda and after that checking his Filmography section on Wikipedia

After the recent update the compact view is unusable for reading news boards, where nearly every post has more than two lines of text and the new memmy app cuts them off with a […] in the end. Can we please get the option to allow multi line titles in the compact view again? I am now only able to read the full headlines with deactivated coompact view which is annoying as I want to read the headlines not have a small preview image for every news.

Thank you.

Since a couple of month the amount, duration and volume of localized ads in my Podcast App has become a really annoying factor. You listen to a serious or even sad topic of a very personal story about death, just to get all the sudden interrupted by a squeeky fast food voice talking about some food or insurance with the most distracting and off putting voice. Its so loud and mostly ends the podcast experience for me in that moment. Some of them do not even have a pay-per-listen model that I could in theory avoid them. A ad in the beginning and end, okay, but they are every 15 Minutes in some productions. Its getting Crazy! Enshittification reached Podcasting.

I guess these localized ads are based on the IP I requested the download from, so I am wondering if there is a fix like a VPN downloading them from a really remote area, where no localized ad is available. Or if there is a player detecting those ads and skip them. I wish I could keep the habit of listening to podcast, but it has reached a point where it is nearly unbearable.

Did anyone had any success circumventing those blasting audio ads while falling asleep?

Since of yesterday evening, the Memmy App gives me an Error on startup (see image).

I can see the app had an Update, so I guess it is related to that. On Init, I can see the background-image (dark orange with planet) and after a second the error pops up. When saying ok. There is a second error message with the same message. The longer I wait before I click it away, the more error messages there are to be clicked away. So I guess there is repeated request that is failing in the background.

As soon as I clicked the error away, I can only see the default the App UI, with an empty center panel saying "Error loading content :( Retry". When waiting the error message will reappear after 2-4 seconds. When waiting, there are several (2-n) error messages stacked that has to be clicked away to get back to the empty panel.
