Well, "nome", with a silent G is the correct pronunciation of "gnome", as in e.g. "garden gnome".

SUSE originated in Germany, where it's just the normal pronunciation. "Suse" also pre-existed as a nickname for "Susanne" (of course, the company name was derived from an acronym which isn't used anymore).
The issue comes in when non-Germans, especially English-language natives try to pronounce the word. English pronunciation is incredibly inconsistent. Hence English speakers tend to fail (very confidently) when pronouncing foreign-language words.
(Fwiw, Germans and many others don't know anything about the silent G in "gnome" and will happily pronounce GNOME the way the project intends without being told. Similar things are true for the I in Linux.)
The marketing idiots who published this are Americans. The pronunciation is borderline correct but not quite.
I would be interested to go there, definitely. Just maybe not while the regime is still in place. But I am bettng Pyongyang is quite impressive and rural areas, while super-poor may be too.
Rock-hard, even though it's not cold.
It likely won't work (well), because lots of podcasts actually use Megaphone and similar services that add interest-based ads into your download. I.e. ads can be of variable length or there may even be no ads, because the podcast targets the US but you're downloading from Pakistan.
You don't necessarily need it as a builtin option in Lemmy, actually. You'd just need someone to hand-roll it. Before GitHub had forums with surveys, there used to be a third party provider that offered inofficial surveys that could be added to comments as embedded SVG images. The only drawback was that you could vote even as a non-registered user (but that's true of Strawpoll as well). I sadly both forgot the name and think the company/people behind that tool may have stopped providing it.
It's just misapplied logic. No ivory-tower logicians in sight anywhere to make fun of.
You could maybe use that joke in such a way, if you actually had a logician in front of you whom you'd want to piss off.
It's wrong nonetheless.
