the ffpmeg thing reminded me of what I did about a year ago. I had a command line tool using ffmpeg to turn a YouTube or twitch livestream into a live icecast mp3 stream. Wanted to build an easier tool to stream in rss myself but then decided that there weren’t any good rss live listening apps or websites yet. Started bouncepad.live which is bad and semi-abandoned now. So I’m left with kinda nothing. Does anyone have any motivation tips???

Sam should apply for becoming the next CEO of Apple. Make Apple fit in with most of the other American tech companies. Have an Indian ceo. Conspiracy to make TrueFans the default podcast app on iOS.

AWS is kind of crazy. They managed to be number one despite the fact that the UX is so shit that most people use AWS through other interfaces like Vercel, Sevalla, Convex or others. Not that those don’t add more functionality themself but that basic idea is true. Podtoo cloud seems like a good idea.

On the Megaphone X Inception Point hosting news: It's great how much money you can make if you have low or no integrity

I get putting hls in the enclosure for ads purposes but I expect that to lead to many self hosted feeds trying this out, without having a ssl certificate. So on all the https webapps they now won’t be able to play an episode. Insecure media requests are allowed in browsers but not insecure http requests.

With that endpoint of new shows maybe we could do a Birdwatch type thing? That is what later turned into community notes on X. Where it has people write and rate notes. And the notes only show up if people that usually disagree, agree that this post needs a note. That could come from any user reports from apps too I guess. But then we would need a centralised way of tracking the reports. To at would work for removing shows automatically in a actually reliable way though. Just as an idea.

Discord and Roblox being exempt from the social media ban proves that it’s really not about protecting kids. The number one apps right now with a problem of child predators. And neither of them are really doing anything about it on their own. Let’s all be happy none of us are running chat and gaming apps appealing to above the age of being able to read. Because how do you actually solve that problem?

Can we get the horny gay guy ai voice to talk about Dave’s nuts and bolt please

I’m just going to be quiet on inception point claiming podnews weekly review stats mean people want to hear about inception point ai. I would say extremely mean things

YouTube banned in Australia for people under 16? Why? Spotify has a feature where you can directly message other users 1on1. Since August. Which YouTube doesn’t even offer. How is that logical
