Amongst my friends, Spotify is the lowest quality consumer app we still pay for. It certainly hasnt gotten noticeably better in the last couple years (arguably worse). So, this is not the positive look Ant and Spotify are spinning here.

Bigger picture, this is the problem with a lot of AI reporting. It reports completely meaningless metrics like deploys per day or LoC. Why don’t we start reporting consumer satisfaction reports? Actually end state research results.

All the no nuance AI people always come out and think that this is anti AI. Again, I think AI is great and Claude is great. But this is bad marketing and makes both look like clowns.

@stolinski @neuecast Interesting. I can't get pocketcast to see my *.ts.net RSS feeds. Are you doing a Tailscale Funnel or Cloudflare Tunnel?

[Ali @karbassi]

@stolinski what podcast app are you using that supports Tailscale and local RSS? Are you just exposing the RSS and media files publicly via Tailscale?

[Ali @karbassi]

@stolinski What podcast app are you using these days? Apple's? Pocket Cast? Something else?

[Ali @karbassi]

@stolinski I totally hear ya. Thoughts on asking Moltbot to fork the private repo and just having the multi-session feature as the release?

Maybe make each section you have a "plugin" and people can add their own. I'd love to do that.

I built my own podcast tool, like you described.

@stolinski Thoughts on releasing your chat ui that you build?

The Game Boy Advance ports of the Tony Hawk series deserve more love. Real wizardry involved here by Vicarious Visions, in the way they completely changed the viewpoint to isometric but still somehow made it so faithful that fans of the console versions could immediately 'get' it

@GreenEngineer42 @Streak As a small nonprofit who used Streak for many years, this was extremely jarring and has caused us major headaches.

What's going on over at @Streak?

@wesbos Just like everyone else, with one leg at a time...

@unsplash Seems like `https://t.co/qr7NVUnl0L` was deprecated. Time to update my code. https://t.co/XQvTzOpzuy

[Ali @karbassi]

Either @unsplash changed their api or their service is down. I can't seem to get an image from the `source` url anymore.

For example: https://t.co/oVLXXRlQDx

@MKBHD That doesn’t do the same thing consistently ever.

@creativedrewy It was too underpowered. Notice that the Vision Pro still has an external battery pack.

[Ali @karbassi]

Apple should start an App Store for personas on the Apple Vision Pro. Cosplayers will make a killing!
