I believe (though I'm not sure) that AntennaPod is closer to the old Pocket Casts UI (but not as polished): https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.danoeh.antennapod/

Playback speed, how many episodes to download on each podcast (some I listen to often, some rarely), what do with them when done, when to go to the next episode automatically, there's a lot. And I want these configurable per-podcast.

I use Pocket Casts. I just like it a lot, and I don't want to switch because it does everything I need. Spotify seems like it wouldn't be as configurable, but I haven't even felt the need to check. Plus, I don't like a m

How about Powerline? I use them and they're quite good.

It's like the automated call center that picks up to tell you to please hold. What did you guys think I was doing before you picked up?!

Ah, that's unfortunate.

Can you not just block its internet connection?

Sure, writing has very low entropy, but the claim that you can easily tell what a word is as long as you preserve the first and last letters seems false.

How so? Will JS in web pages get disabled too?

If you were primed for it by the earlier post, sure, but if you saw it out of the blue I doubt you'd know what it sefgiiind.

Bitcoin uses energy. Energy is a detriment to the environment, but it doesn't have to be. The problem isn't the energy usage, the problem is that we're bad at generating energy without killing the planet.

What's true in SF is not true everywhere. Not many people visit SF to see the sights.

The fact that X is not the only issue does not mean X is not an issue at all.

I don't know, insofar as I don't have a view of who does what with each housing unit in the city, but I'd imagine to a large degree yes.

Which cities are forbidding new housing? There are new buildings being built in my city all the time, while (and probably because) property prices are skyrocketing. I would appreciate some references.

They probably meant the Mediterranean part of France (Marseille, Montpellier, etc), but yeah, that comparison seems a bit odd to me too.

Yes please. I'm tired of not being able to afford living in my own city.

I doubt they have such a good recognition model for Greek, plus my DNS blocks Google at that level, and I have a Xiaomi phone. Not that it's impossible, but it's less likely, plus the battery would die quickly.

by StavrosK 6y ago
That would still absolutely kill the battery.
530.
by StavrosK 6y ago
Sure, but I don't think they're listening from a technical standpoint, because the battery consumption is much less than an active network adapter would consume.
531.
by StavrosK 6y ago
Yeah but neither of us had searched for that or anything, and I use DDG and uBO so it's not likely it'd be tracked.

It's been a few times now where I've talked with my wife about some new product (physically, in the room) and she starts seeing ads about it. I thought that was the explanation too, but it's happened too many times for comfor

Nah, who does that, that's too easy. It's more likely that the GP's comic book collection was the key to unlocking a portal to an alternate universe where the heroes had not been defeated, so the remaining heroes could go the

Isn't it obvious? The thief returned them after they finished reading them.

Definitely agree that this way is much cooler.

Stop watching movies and listening to music. Well, technically, stop paying for movies and music. You have to be okay with big-budget productions not existing any more, though.

SO satisfying! I'm going to make one for my keyboard and drive my wife insane.

I love this, especially the sound the solenoids make when hitting notes. Well done!

Great work! Though, wouldn't it be easier to just open the controller up and use transistors to close the contacts? Transistors are cheaper!
