This Has Got To Stop I hate everything. I used to really love technology. And I guess I still do, but I hate what a lot of tech, especially software, has become. It used to be either an app was free or it wasn’t. Usually ...

surprised Audi don't seem to have that many sponsors on their car. it just seems empty behind the driver which is odd seeing how many sponsors they have on the screen

also, still lukewarm about the livery.

Audi really thought watching people climb the stairs is cool 🤦‍♂️ bring back last year's Alpine DJ

The Fragmentation Problem of Watch Lists A case for federated watch lists

probably my final post of the year: it's about the frustration with having watch lists scattered across different platforms with no easy way to share or migrate this data and a solution as well. have a quick read ⬇️

Noise December has arrived, quietly. It often rains, at times windy. I put almost everything on hold, and the resulting calm is something to cherish.

the irony isn't lost on me that i'm sharing this on here but i totally resonate with this piece and you guys should check it out.

i would totally recommend any of these albums esp all the Radiohead ones, HYPERYOUTH (alt rap), Preacher's Daughter (alt), The Forever Story (rap), and Songs In A Minor (R&B/Soul)

it's tiiime... for Spotify Wrapped again but with an Apple Music Replay twist this year

i stuck with AM after switching but clearly Radiohead were on loop on both platforms the entire year. Durand Bernarr, Melanie Fiona and Gotye (listen to Making Mirrors) also had their moments

sorry Siri, but ain't no way I'm waking up that early for a Las Vegas GP practice session #F1

the more I think about Elkann’s comments and Ferrari’s resistance to NEEDED change, the more I feel I’d probably switch teams as soon as LH retires

and honestly, Leclerc should start seriously evaluating his options too #F1

i, too, haven't used AntennaPod. just checked their website so i can't exactly compare them but i really really like Pocket Casts. it has a boatload of features while maintaining a nice UI/UX balance. the only thing that sucks (and it's a big one) is that Automattic acquired it awhile back

seems it has all that one needs without the extra fluff that some podcast apps come with.

have you used Pocket Casts before? if you have, how would you compare the two in your personal opinion?

i've always heard of it but never explored it much. it seems totally usable and a viable alternative for Android users

App Store screenshot for Pocket Casts version 7.98 with the description, "We've always believed podcasting should remain open, accessible, and creator-owned.

This update also brings a smoother start for new users with improved account creation during onboarding with User Stories, Interests, and Recommendations.
We've fixed an issue where the You Might Like tab would reload when returning to it.
Navigation should now feel smoother and more consistent.
