Welcome to the RB family, Soul Searching 🥳

Soul Searching is an offline music application for Android 8 and above. It's a rework of the native mobile application Sweet Music using Jetpack Compose.
This was quite a journey fighting compression algorithms (Fedora using zlib-ng instead of zlib), but thanks to joint efforts and hard work of the author (thanks entername74!), it was finally made RB

To pull a Bezos: to sell oneself out to someone only to be kicked in the teeth by them.

There's a lot more I could have written about this but... look we've all seen this a million times before, we know how it works, how bad actors abuse it to mass report and bully and where it all goes.
Hey folks, thanks to @bagder and @kees , I managed to compute the "Source code age" from the GLPI project, which I'm working on, and it's really fun because we can see a lot of nice information on it!
To sum it up: the code is very dynamic, and compared to Curl (which you can see here: mastodon.social/@bagder/113399… ) , we can definitely see that it doesn't endorse backwards compatibility: there are a lot of refactorings of big parts of the codebase! 🎉

Yep, in that case, tags must be totally reordered by number instead of by date. That's a whole different way of analyzing 😅
For instance, version 2.x had tags published the same day for several versions of both 2.7.x and 2.8.x branches.
I will have to rewrite this more than just tweaking it, I guess.

Cleanfeed is also good for broadcasting and other live events. During the lockdowns, many broadcasters were using Cleanfeed to send entire shows, including high quality stereo music streams, back to radio stations.
I did an explanation and demonstration of Cleanfeed in The Blind Podmaker podcast which is still relatively current.
I say all this because Cleanfeed has just come out with a very nice update for iPhones using USB-C. You can now use a USB-C audio device including audio interfaces, come into Cleanfeed through safari for iOS, and Cleanfeed will recognise the audio device. This is going to be a big deal for people who want to participate in high quality podcasts or live broadcasts while on the go. If a radio station has a broadcaster in the field for some reason, coming in through Cleanfeed and a USB-C audio device is going to sound way better than a FaceTime call.
Best of all, Cleanfeed’s developers care deeply about #accessibility. They’ve responded positively to many of my suggestions and those of others in the blind podcasting community.
You can find Cleanfeed at cleanfeed.net.
