Someone called it just yesterday.

What is this, an article from ten years ago?

I don’t have ADHD, but I have the same with reading books. I can read articles in a newspaper, but once I take a book into my hands I fall asleep.

It’s end user focused, they have different segments like going through the monthly release notes and talking about them a bit from their perspective and they have often guests. The guests sometimes are random users with a interesting setup and they talk about that setup where you can get a lot of ideas. Other times they invite some of the developers or project managers from the project to talk about some new features or plans.

So what exact features does it have? I need three:

1. sync my subscription list between devices
2. sync the time where I paused to listen to each podcast episode
3. sync which episodes I already listened to

• https://wrint.de/ has a lot of German shows also with politics and science
• https://www.alternativlos.org/ posts seldom but also politics and science
• https://podcaste97de5.podigee.io/ politics in german

I thought I could synchronize what I was listening to and where I stopped with gpodder.net but this never worked because I never understood how to use it, even though I logged in on both desktop and phone, so I had to give up the idea of listening on the desktop and I only listen on the phone. If I am at home I sometimes connect to a Bluetooth speaker to have a nicer experience.

How have you been burned? In any practical way?

This Lundluke got seems to be some kind of Qanon person.

He means free as in free beer.

What I always wonder is why they don’t go for something self hosted where they have the control over it.

Yeah, I like how they call their Debian based distro a “Chinese-made operating system”.

How would that even work? There is so much open source software in cars where you have no idea where the programmer is from. Best example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor
