Podcasts are distributed via RSS (example). Spotify is probably just a frontend for that.

Just tested it, it did that for me too the very first time I ran it. Click the app icon in the dock to get the window back.

Yeah, I have an OpenVPN TAP server running for this purpose. (TAP so that broadcast packets work)

What do you mean? This is perfectly modern. Material UI and minimal, outline style icon theme. That's all the rage with web devs nowadays. Amazing.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that in this case, that's the Android style after all. But personally I heavily dislike Material UI.)

I would say that this UI is ugly though. Spacing is all over the place, the icons don't look cohesive at all apart from the colors used (for example, rounded vs sharp corners), the yellowed paper looking background color, overuse of bold/italic/colored text (especially multiple of those at the same time), inconsistent display of the same thing (in one screenshot the mailbox name is displayed as "Gmail", in the other as "[Gmail]"). And so on.

But that doesn't mean it's "outdated", this would have been equally as bad 10 years ago.

(I just have a knee jerk reaction to people saying "outdated UI" because usually it's used as a justification to replacing perfectly well designed UI with a worse version just so that it follows contemporary design trends. Cf the Windows Settings app.)

Apple

I’ve submitted at least 8 bug reports to them since Oct 2023 (and also many suggestions) through their feedback app. No response to any of them until now. The only closed bugs I closed myself because the problem went away in an update.

I’m pretty sure they don’t have any bug triager whatsoever.

I’ll keep doing it out of spite and because it’s what I do for open-source as well, but I’m really not sure if it has any effect at all.

How about GNU M4 + Make (output)?

(to be clear this is a joke suggestion. but yes it is what I legitimately use)

I wanted something like GIMP for iOS with which I can stitch together/overlay/crop images, add text, blank out parts, draw on the image, and so on. Nothing in the app store looked appealing, most of what I could find seems to be geared towards photo post processing, so I had the idea of trying Freeform for this, because well, it lets you place various objects on a canvas. And it works pretty well!

Create a new board with the image inside, set it to no rounded corners and no shadow, and then do whatever you want to it with Freeform’s tools.

Then, when you’re done, select Export to PDF and convert it to an image. You can use this share sheet shortcut which I made which makes an image out of it and also cuts away the white frame it generates around the PDF: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/fa5e2386588742b2a1f5d41401f2238e

There you go, straight forward basic image editing with a free stock app.

It unfortunately doesn’t preserve the original resolution of the image but it’s definitely good enough for me.

the Settings app, which offers a more modern and streamlined experience.

tl: “modern” means “less usable UI” and “streamlined” means “less functionality”

I'm looking for something like GitHub's user activity indicator that gathers information from a list of git repositories regardless of where they are hosted (as long as they are public), that I can put on my webpage, kind of as a thing to show what I'm working on at the moment.

Is this a thing that already exists? I'd started writing one a while ago but instead of reviving that it would be great if there's something that already exists and I can just use :^)

People were pressuring him to hand over maintainership while expressing disappointment at the slow pace of development.

Very likely that was part of the attack as well.

According to this Phoronix article, Linux should support the birth time attribute in the NFS server since 5.18. However, it doesn't show up in the stat output when looking at the file through the NFS mount, or elsewhere (at least, the Dolphin file browser and also a macOS client):

% stat file
  File: file
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 1048576 regular empty file
Device: 0,70    Inode: 103416894   Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: ( 1000/   saiko)   Gid: (  100/   users)
Access: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
Modify: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
Change: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
 Birth: -

What gives? Running stat on the server directly, it shows the attribute. The backing file system is ext4, kernel 6.5.12. The client is using kernel 6.1.63.

As someone with his own email domain, screw you for even thinking about suggesting domain filters.
