I want to highlight two fun bits from this week’s episode of @atpfm https://atp.fm/683

First, we put the “hands on” into our very touchy-feely report about the MacBook Neo (starts at 24:00)

But the real star of the episode is @marcoarment’s amazing story of how he, as a lone developer, created a transcripts feature for @overcastfm to compete with the similar feature in Apple Podcasts. You do not want to miss this one. (starts at 54:46)

My browser extension StopTheMadness Pro stops autoplaying videos and hides Sign in with Google on all sites. It also hides sticky videos and notification requests on many sites.

For more extreme measures, try my Safari extension StopTheScript. It kills JavaScript dead on websites you select. For example, from the blog post, it makes The Guardian readable.

Fun fact: I was at the Apple Store this weekend getting my MacBook Air serviced. I asked the Genius about the MacBook Neo and he said they kept running out of inventory and implied there had already had to be multiple restocks.

Transcripts in Overcast!

This was so much work. I can't believe I've finally gotten it into beta.

RE: https://mas.to/@mikesax/116252545581318953

Transcripts will be free for everyone.

I'll probably build more advanced features on top of them that may be Premium-only, but what you see in this beta will always be free for all Overcast customers.

Overcast doesn't charge for accessibility or table-stakes features, and once you use transcripts, you'll quickly realize that they're obviously both.

Two games, both called "Piece by Piece", were coincidentally released within a few days of each other by their developers.

They got in touch with each other, and now both games are available together as a Steam Bundle, because reasonable people can find mutually respectful, no-drama ways to solve problems.
