@maique When you search for a podcast using an app like Castro you are indirectly searching the Apple directory. To publish a podcast one of the first steps is to get listed in Apple’s directory. That going dark would be a huge issue for the open world of podcasting.
@gpittman Yeah. Spotify and Amazon have built their own closed directories. I wonder if they feel pressured to do the same.
@maique Even more concerning to me is this, Apple Podcast subscription service . If they lock down the directory, we might be in for a bad time.
@maique At least with PocketCasts and other well regarded catchers, it’s easy to move with and opml export/import. I do hate loosing my listening stats tho😀 Guess I’ll give Castro another try.
@lmika @maique They did sell to NPR which I thought was an ok deal, the development team remained the same, afaik. Now to find out who the new buyer is.
@SteveSawczyn After a couple month stint on Overcast(it’s queue management doesn’t work for me), I switched back to PocketCasts. Great queue management, multi-device sync, good watch app.
@maique I think people miss that Bear is a lot more than a notes app. It’s also a “capture” app. Haven’t found anything that has the same fidelity of web page capture as Bear(other than Evernote).
@purisubzi Whoa. That seems like excellent news.
@Gaby Last two refrigerators we’ve owned didn’t have enough metal on the doors to stick magnets to. Fridge art is going to be lost soon I fear
@canion Haven’t used IG in a long time but my wife does. Recently she had a video ad randomly blast loud audio while she was using it. I had no idea they did auto playing ads with audio now. How do people use junk like that?
@vincent @maique I too wanted to join the group, but am hesitant due to number sharing. I do use Signal but the phone number exposure is a negative.
@Gaby They let him do whatever he wanted until now, when he is on the way out and no longer profitable.
@janwillem Lovely shot and welcome to micro.blog.
@pratik Love it as well. Even better, and perhaps makes more sense, if you consider the aliens to be demons instead.
@cubicgarden So much good stuff here. Thanks for sharing.
@maique To you as well. Seeing your photos and posts here, have made the past year just a bit better.
@patrickrhone I so loved these albums.
@Gaby I use the iOS/MacOS stock apps for Fastmail access. Interesting side note, Fastmail is one of the few mail services that get true push mail with Mail.app on iOS ,without using a 3rd party. They have a “deal” with Apple that allows this.
@niekhockx Love this one.
@AngeloStavrow Both of these will hold some of your mail and/or credentials if you use certain functionally. Like push notifications. It’s why I haven’t used these apps as well.
@Gaby Wish we could get Deschutes around here. Been to the brewery a few times in Portland and love their beer.
@Gaby Seeing a lot of complaints about this “feature”. It thinks some BT devices are headphones when they aren’t. Hopefully fixed soon.
@gpittman Technically the blogs hosted here are static sites. Generated by a flavor of Hugo, I think.
@colinwalker Fan made trailers?
@JohnPhilpin Have been with Fastmail for a long time. Very happy with them. Solid service and apps. They also have standards based services that work with the stock iOS/macOS: calendar, contacts, notes and reminders apps.
