AntennaPod is turning a decade old in about a week! 🎉
To honor the occasion, we would like to invite past, current and future users to celebrate.

Join us for a get-together and connect to meet.antennapod.org/10YearsAnn on Friday 22/07 at 18:00 CEST!

The agenda includes looking back at how the App has evolved throughout the releases. A great opportunity to socialize with the core team, occasional contributors and fellow app users.

Add it to your calendar and get a reminder: antennapod.org/events/10YearAn

Definitely not worth $4000, but if I were on Jeopardy and got this clue, I would have been very sorely tempted to answer, "What is 01189998819991197253?"

The branding of this restaurant in Madrid is really sending mixed messages about its legitimacy.

@schlink What is the justification for the assertion about prefixes?

Here is a simple word list with no prefixes but at least one ambiguous collision:

"car", "card", "rove", "drove"

"cardrove" => card-rove / car-drove

Every day as a parent, explaining why your kids need to do not fun stuff that is good for them:

It inspires great trepidation and ambivalence when I find something new that belongs in my "What to do when the bug is in someone else's code" talk (ganssle.io/talks/#upstream-bug), but I think `patchy` has earned a slide.

Or, as the kids say, "Thanks! I hate it!"

My son just tried asking me a joke riddle, translated into English from German. As you might expect it was based on a pun. Fortunately, the pun was translatable, unfortunately he's not an experienced translator, so I got "What walks without feet? Water!". So close...

D... does the Travel Town Museum have a (decommissioned?) nuclear powered train?

Also saw some Cedar Waxwings in a tree right across the street from the swallow. This isn't my first time seeing those, but they're still reasonably rare (and not to mention pretty).

Too bad it's such a dreary day…

Saw this gorgeous tree swallow on my "walk to work" this morning. Been seeing this one and another one around these last few days, but this season is the first time I've ever seen them!

@cryptoxic @AntennaPod On the other hand, when you posted that I was in the middle of composing my own post about how after one contribution to AntennaPod I'm already feeling the lure of fixing all my minor papercuts (also known as the dangerous road towards "you own it now"... 😅), so that should be an endorsement that contributing to AP is not bad at all.

@cryptoxic I don't think @AntennaPod has a mechanism for third-party plugins. I've always thought that such a thing would be useful, but of course that assumes people would develop plugins for it, and maybe the set of useful plugins that the maintainers would not be willing to upstream is too small...

Dear Shokz Corporation,

I dig all the cool pictures of people running with your bone conduction headphones on, but maybe you could also have one or two photographs of like... all the buttons, and the location of the charging port?

Despite actually wanting a new phone, I ended up having my existing phone repaired because I couldn't find a satisfactory phone.

Plus side: my phone's battery is no longer bulging out the back.

Down side: I have been forced to opt out of the cycle of consumer electronic churn!

I frequently notice folks asking or answering questions like "how many contributors does this open source project have?" or "how much contribution is this project getting?" amiaopensource.github.io/ffmpr is an example of why those aren't simple questions.
