Just realized this was in response to a comment I’d made and not the post, proper…; sorry about that.
I do, actually, use Antennapod so it’s feasible there but I also use Elfeed in Emacs and Podcasts, on Linux mobile, which (I believe) both require you to find the RSS feeds yourself. So that’s usually where I run into the need to manually hunt down RSS feed manually.
I think you’re reading this as me having trouble finding podcasts; I find it mildly infuriating that Spotify and Apple are becoming the face of finding podcasts in a way that obfuscates how things actually work. I don’t like that these two entities become the only listed means to find a podcast when others exist and will cause lay people to associate podcasts with just them, if that makes more sense.
Oh, I know; that’s why I mentioned
there’s a convenience to going to a centralized service to browse for a particular thing
And I don’t necessarily know the right solution; I was somewhat just venting about the issue I recognize, even if I don’t have the countering solution. But it’s definitely a part that needs to, also, be considered, for sure.
I couldn’t quite say but finding the RSS feed has always been a massive pain for me, whenever the only source someone gives is Apple Podcasts. That said, maybe it’s my fault and I’m just not looking carefully enough; always possible.
I think my wording might not be the best as I didn’t mean proprietary in the sense that they could or were able to paywall things right now, as things are.
I just think that putting more control into infrastructure that we don’t control always leads to monopolization, where feasible, by corporations. So relying more on this infrastructure owned by Apple and Spotify is inherently bad.
Yessssss, Guix covert.
I know it’s largely due to my own fanaticism regarding Guile but I think it’s such a great distro and feels like it never gets mentioned, anywhere.

Not of Greek origin but I hope you’re using “gooses”.

Our cats are either not troublesome enough or not smart enough for it to be a worry (thankfully…).
Never slammed the upvote so quick and so hard.
You understand.
They say “for candidates I didn’t think deserved to be the nominee, let alone president” so I suspect they voted for the Democrat, in each election, rather than a third-party (considering their distaste for Democrats).
That’s awesome! Haha, yeah; I know what you mean. Still, super glad that worked out.
If we strip all context from the original circumstance, I imagine we could.
But that’s not what happened, is it? You elected to editorialize that the user is doing it to be fake-different and to gain attention, despite them never going out of their way to do so, never once that I’ve seen actually say it has anything to do with poisoning AI (not that it matters, either way), and never responding when people disparage them to their “face”; literally, just typing the way they want to type and not responding to the behavior of others, the literal opposite of seeking attention.
Which any autistic person could tell you is highly relatable: they’re just off doing their own thing and it just infuriates the allistic folk who now have to make fun of them and say shit about them because, “Can’t they tell how annoying they’re being? Can’t they read social circumstances? I mean, I’m all for tolerance but they should really understand the way their behavior inconveniences me and makes me uncomfortable and now I’ve got make it their problem.”
It annoys you; fine. Different strokes; but you didn’t just say it annoys you: you assigned motive and character to this person because you’re so annoyed and any neurodivergent person would recognize that behavior from when it happened to them.
That’s clearly what AstralPath was referring to and you, then, lined up to the plate to participate further.
That’s what I was pointing out; it’s not a generalized argument: it’s a capturing of an explicitly neurodivergent experience and taking it out of that context is, of course, going to make it fall apart.
I too trashed the malt balls.
Both verbally and literally.
I tend to call them “love” and “my heart” (or just “heart”, for short), a lot; much closer to an actual pet name but I’ll often refer to them as “dove”, “baby pie”, or “love muffin”, as well.
Only flaw there: elephants don’t have scrotums.
How you doing, r4venw? Any luck, yet?

Like I said, it’s possible that I just missed how Apple Podcasts exposes the RSS feed transparently but I’ve never been able to find it via just browsing the site to then put into the latter two programs.
