Time for the board meeting! We're running with scissors live with episode 245. Three sheets to Christmas!

@jtrentadams @tchambers @adam @james @js Yes. Go to podcastapps.com and filter by that tag and podcast player to see who supports. FYI AntennaPod just adopted:

https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/pull/7127

I haven’t pushed that merge to the site yet.

The auto-chapters in 26.2 Apple Podcasts is really slick. I’ve had to now move Apple Podcasts icon to my Home Screen next to Castamatic for the podcasts I listen to that don’t provide their own chapters. It’s a game changer for about 6 hours of work related podcasts I listen to each week that I’m constantly fast forwarding through because of topics I’m not interested in.

@js Are most of the TTS podcasts you're seeing coming from Spreaker?

@nathan @alberto @js We could just go ahead and describe a <podcast:bot>/<podcast:automated>/<podcast:ai> type tag who's purpose is to tag a feed as *wholely* automated where no human appears in the pipeline?

I was thinking, and maybe the Index should just be the “claim” mechanism itself for podcasts. Probably no reason to set that up at some other domain. Like claim (dot) podcastindex (dot) org or something like that.

@samsethi Truefans mobile beta looking good. Will keep testing.

X/Twitter is a cesspool. What a horrible place.

Can’t wait to try it. 👊

The <source> tag in RSS2.0 is so sadly under-utilized. Sometimes it is the perfect fix for inter-op.

This is just flat wrong:

A modern, lightning-quick PoW captcha
Cap is a lightweight, modern open-source CAPTCHA alternative using proof-of-work.

CashApp turned on lightning receive. Just tested and it works. Your lightning address is: “<cashappname>@cash.app”

Game changer.

Wasn’t there a proposal for a merch/store link tag in the #namespace somewhere at one time?
