It’s one guy, Brian, not a company haha. Kind of like Apollo. I’ve followed him since his first app Carrot To-Do which shamed you into completing tasks. Still wish he’d update that one, it was fun.

I pretty much listen to podcasts in order from oldest to newest so I haven’t seen any transcripts yet. Supposedly they are doing (adding transcripts) to all new episodes and old episodes will be filled in over time. I don’t know why I’m just really anal about it even if it’s just science stuff I feel like I always have to listen to stuff in order of release…

Exact same boat. Pocket casts has been my app since it came out. I can’t live without closed captioning on tv so wondering if this will be cool in podcasts

Excited to try transcripts for podcasts. I installed the Apple Podcast app a few weeks ago to get ready for this…

I’m looking forward to automatic/live podcast transcripts that is supposed to be coming out in March. Hoping they revamp the app completely because I tried using Apple’s podcast app this week in preparation and it isn’t great.

You are annoying

So…you can use the web version and can block all of their trackers and cookies with Safari extensions. Seems like it would be smarter for them to have their own app and get that data but whatever.

Yep other things I prefer about Day 1 is I can use my iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard or the web version on my PC. Realistically I’m probably going to end up doing it MOSTLY on my phone…but my preference is to journal using a full size keyboard and fully express myself at full typing speed 😊

Curious as to how the journal compares to Day One. I paid for an annual subscription recently. I like that Day One can record the location and weather along with my entries…and options for other things like health data, audio…not to mention different journals for different projects. I have one for full journaling and one that is more of a mood journal for feelings and rambling…

Are you wanting to put songs in wav or flaac Format or something? I feel like a decently size used iPod wouldn’t be a whole lot more than $100 and 100 GB could hold 10,000 songs in high-quality 320 kB/s or so.

It sounds like you’re trying to build an iPod classic with Bluetooth

I DJ weddings for about 10 years and literally had my entire entire DJ library backed up on one

MVP 🏆

Old iPods are coming into fashion because even younger folks are wanting something like this.

I would consider buying a refurbished iPod classic on eBay. Simple and elegant. User friendly. Do you really need the Bluetooth part?

Everything now has fucking in app purchases…I’m using the apps I already paid for, built in apps and that’s it.

Do you live near a coast? The weather is so nice

They only place I hear about it is on Lemmy. Constant posts about Reddit and twitter.

I think Elon may have ruined x now it just makes me think of his ruining twitter

My 13 Pro Max has amazing battery life, is stupid fast and very sexy. So yeah I’m good.

Would be a gamechanger if Alexa or Siri could do what ChatGPT does and I don’t really understand why neither one has gotten smarter…at all…in 10 years.

Ok…so I’m aware there is a feature “check for sensitive media” that parents can turn on and AI can send an alert to you if it seems like your kid might be texting nude pics….only works with iMessage since apple doesn’t have access to photos in other apps. No human sees the photos. But that isn’t the same as what you’re saying and I don’t know if what you’re saying is accurate.

Yep. They really doubled down on privacy/security and it’s pretty admirable. The President doesn’t use an android or a blackberry for a reason. (Well, two in the case of blackberry. Security and existing). If only there were no other problematic areas of Apple’s business (manufacturing, wages, environmental impact).
