Yeah; this one’s been my experience, as well.

This is the most strongly written writeup I know of (whether it’s something you, likewise, find worth being wary about is, naturally, up to you, though).

Get some help

That’s what the horse electrolytes are for (I imagine he’d say).

Sonic 1 for the Sega Genesis.

Yesssssss; still one of the best implementations of Tetris ever, imo.

The former; the person you’re thinking of, as the latter, is Thomas Edison.

The caveat being if they are so bad they are climbing to the ceiling and literally falling on you.

New nightmare fuel unlocked.

All FOSS operates worldwide; the point of FOSS is that it provides a paradigm that directly counters the false-scarcity that (often capitalist) systems induce.

This is an interpretation often pushed as the only answer by particular sects but it’s not accurate to say that every Christian sect. believes this. Belief as a prerequisite to heaven is not universally held amongst all Christian sects.

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.

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.

Just realized this was in response to a comment I’d made and not the post, proper…; sorry about that.

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.
