Thanks for this. I haven’t been letting it get me down in the past, but having two kids can certainty start making me question what the heck their future will look like

I do joke a lol, but things in many areas are so much better than 30-50 years ago and considering Brits in WW II had to turn out all their lights to hinder German bombings - most of us are being peddled fear by the media and it’s not THAT bad.

Where did you get the climate hope bit? last articles I glazed over were ‘we missed 1.5 deg target and instead put the foot on the pedal to make it faster’ and ‘climate migrations coming and mass famine’.

Sounder doomerism to me but I don’t really have a good source to be optimistic at all.

This is a pretty interesting concept as a self-hosted. Sadly integration with android auto is important to me, and my understanding is that forces you into needing an app

Curious if car play on your radar at all - my brains telling me it’s be a PITA to solve for in a wep app unless you also maintained android/iOS apps that wrapped the webui justnto implement carplay

Edit: I see you’ve got a android beta and auto on the readme milestone - I’ll keep an eye on this project and probably toss it on my homelab for testing once it’s a nix package.

Yes, however it wont auto-download oldest-newset, and more annoyingly it wont play next in that reversed order, it just stops the ep and I have to manually find and select the next ep in that podcast. I sorta don’t grok the AP workflow with queue and inbox - most of my podcasts are story/investigative journalism style and I want to just click on a podcast, press play to resume where I was at, and auto roll through the podcast in whatever order it should be.

APs workflow seems very much aimed at listen to a jumble of whatever’s been recently released’ so I feel like I’m fighting it to work like I expect

I’m using AntennaPod but it’s annoying me that I can’t sort and autoplay oldest to newest. Unused to use podcast addict but I’m keeping google play services outta my main profile in grapheneOS which means I cant use my pro licence for pocketcasts…

So reading more into it, it’s (currently) only on the bogus copilot+ PCs they were peddling? I’m happily on bazzite, but this is good news for my stubborn mates that haven’t touched copilot+ shit.

Where am I moving my friends group? Revolt is nice but not quite ready for primetime / getting a rewrite, and I’ve always been iffy about matrix. Is a signal group chat literally where we’re heading to!?
