Since You Arrived
Do we have a follower with experience in Kotlin and Compose? We added our first Compose module (~1.5k LOC) and are looking for a quick code review. The most interesting feedback would be about the high-level architecture, not necessarily reviewing every line. If you are interested, please leave a message under this post or on our forum: https://forum.antennapod.org/t/looking-for-code-reviewer/8472

Abstract Wikipedia

"The AI Unbundling", by @benthompsonhttps://stratechery.com/2022/the-ai-unbundling/

I had this article bookmarked since late 2023 (thanks to @maxlath's Time Capsule browser extension for the logs!), but even (finally!) reading it now in 2026, it offers an impressively prescient and clear-eyed panorama of the impact of AI in the how we communicate and disseminate ideas, and is especially relevant in the context of the so-called #SASSpocalypse in the wake of #VibeCoding. Absolutely worth a read!

The AI Unbundling

AI is starting to unbundle the final part of the idea propagation value chain: idea creation and substantiation. The impacts will be far-reaching.
