  • I for one would like a local AI assistant of some sort, but I’d also want to be in full control of which of my files, correspondences, locations, contacts, purchases and sex-toys the assistant is aware of on an item to item basis.

    Of course that’s not going to happen because fuck my privacy.

    Instead we’re going to be forcefed something extremely privacy-invasive, which will really just be a new vehicle for selling stuff to us that we don’t need and eventually it will leak all of the data.






  • This has huge potential. What I personally look for in a podcast solution is:

    • Web/desktop player
    • Sync between players (down to seconds)
    • Organize subscribed podcasts with folders/tags
    • Per podcast/folder/tag settings for “automatically add to queue”
    • Some way of dealing with older (backlog) episodes (built-in or via an API)

    For now, I’m using Pocketcasts which pretty much does what I need, except for handling the backlog, which I do with a homemade python-script that adds backlog episodes to my playlist whenever it has less than 4 hours of playtime left, using Pocketcast’s web player REST API. The result is an endless playlist where newly released episodes are played within a few hours and older episodes are sprinkled on with no real need for micro-managing episodes in the playlist.

    It looks like web/desktop players and sync is already in scope, but are there any “advanced” podcast organization features on your roadmap?
