Good sites for downloading podcasts without commercials? in c/piracy@lemmy.ml

From the Home page, swipe in from the left side of the screen. Tap the podcast you want to skip the intro of. Tap the gear, then "Auto skip". It needs to be set for each individual podcast

Why do RSS feeds for some Lemmy instances behave differently? in c/rss@lemmy.ml
[–] thru_dangers_untold@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I'll try that feed. And good call on the software version. Looks like lemmy.ml is on v0.19.1 and lemmy.world is v0.18.5. So maybe it will be fixed when they update. I'll keep an eye on it.

I use Inoreader and I've noticed that the RSS feed for lemmy.ml has proper thumbnails/previews for images while the lemmy.world feed doesn't show any images (just links for the posted images). I contacted Inoreader to see if the problem was on their end. I received the following feedback:

Actually, we've already checked that, but unfortunately, we couldn't improve the image preview for the exmapled feeds. The thing is that the provided links to these images are not properly presented in the feed source, which is causing that. We suggest you address this with the feed publishers.

What settings need to be changed so that the images are "properly presented"?

Aves Libre is a great gallery app, and Amaze is a good file manager

Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?" in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] thru_dangers_untold@lemmy.ml 28 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's common business practice for the first big companies in a new market/industry to create "barriers to entry". The calls for regulation are exactly that. They don't care about safety--just money.

I don't know what I would do without RSS. I started with Google Reader back in 06 or so. Then went to Feedly, now Inoreader. Between that and podcasts, I have about 200 RSS subscriptions divided into categories: world news, local news, sports, science, entertainment, philosophy, etc. I don't read every article of course, but I do have highlighted keywords to make sure I don't miss important stuff when scanning.
