I would think podcasts without RSS is a tiny minority, and I wouldn't take them seriously. And I've never even heard of ivoox.

You made me check. Since August 2018, I've cut about 1d using variable speed, and 1.5d using silence trimming. I'm only using mild at the moment, and have used medium before, but mad max was too much for my taste. But since I've listened for 83d, silence trimming is a <2% saving for me, so it might not mean much.

Edit: I do use it extensively specifically when catching up on the backlog of a podcast. So it probably accounts for way more during those times.

Ooh. Nice! I hadn't heard of AntennaPod before. It seems to have everything that I use in Pocket Casts except for trim silence. I will try it out for a while and see if I miss that. I do use it and it saves a lot of time. Still though, OSS is a big draw.

Edit: It also doesn't open the queue or start playing automatically in Android Auto.

Consuming podcadts through Spotify is a wild concept.

You can take the baskets out of the store where you live? 😳 That's what bags are for.

Meanwhile in Swedish, leaving out either word would sound super wrong. I fell down in a hole.

Coming from. Sweden where all tax records are public, it seems insane to get 5 years for revealing taxes.

If that's the case, I agree that it's a bit strange.

But isn't that exactly why it's called loan words? In Swedish we've borrowed words like radio and nylon and we initially pronounced them as in English. But eventually we started to pronounce them as the spelling would dictate in Swedish (the English pronunciations would've been spelled rejdio and najlon). For toilet it's the opposite. We borrowed toilette from French, but eventually altered the spelling to match the pronunciation: toalett.

I'll grant you that once we have adapted and incorporated the words, we are no longer borrowing them. Maybe we should stop calling them loanwords at that point. But while they're still new and don't yet fit in, I would say that borrowing sounds about right.

On another note, I can't understand why a people wouldn't want to make every word work in their language. You completely lose the flow of speech when you have to pronounce something that doesn't fit naturally into it, and you either come off as a pretentious douche or a stupid person.

I'm willing to bet that thise people didn't know anything about AI until a few years ago and only see it as this latest wave.

I did AI courses in college 25 years ago, and there were all kinds of algorithms. Neural networks were one of them, but there were many others. And way before that, like others have said, it's been used for simulated agents in games.

Maybe if it's not clean. The trace minerals in there make just about zero difference flavor wise.
