Computing to support life on Earth

Computing in the age of climate crisis is often wasteful and adds nothing useful to our real life communities. Here we try to find out how to change that.

For those interested, AntennaPod is a pretty sweet free and open source podcast app for Android that's very polished. A great alternative to Spotify, etc.

I use it daily. My only complaint is that it doesn't show up on Android Auto, but everything else is perfect.

That'd be a handy feature. Consider opening an issue for it on GitHub.

I'd love to switch to AntennaPod, but I haven't figured out how to sync across platforms. I've heard of Gpodder, but I guess I'd need to host my own instance? Gpodder.net just gives me errors when I try to sign up, and from a quick web search it seems like this has been normal for quite a while now.

I wish I could just save all my metadata to a standard file format, sync those files any way I want, and have all my clients use that. But I don't think that's possible with any existing podcast clients. :/

Even when it was up, I never managed to get reliable read state from gpodder, possibly because I have paid podcast that cannot be downloaded easily. If you figure out a good way to sync the podcast list and read state between antennapod and other apps, please share it here!

My workaround so far is to only use antennapod which is actually fine, I can use bluetooth or a jack to use my phone as the podcast device in all situations where I actually want podcasts... but it'd be nice to just not use my phone at all when I'm home. ;-)
