This is a good reminder of why #opensource software is so awesome. Even if the author of an open source app/service discontinues it, anyone can just fork the project and keep updating it. When it comes to closed source stuff like Google Podcasts here, you're at the whim of the company shutting down a product at any point, and there's nothing you can do about it. Here's a great tool to find alternatives to Google products, make sure to set the "open source" filter! https://alternativeto.net/browse/search/?q=google

Hey @brugeman I noticed that one of the relays that the super spammy @Optimism 's posts are consistently found on is nostr.band It would go a long way of removing that account's annoying replying in every thread if nostr.band added them to the spam filter!

Why do JFK theories accuse Soviets/Cuba/etc, when a much more logical culprit is a collab b/w CIA + Israeli Mossad? The Israelis saw obtaining nukes as an existential requirement, they feared the Egyptians would get there first, and JFK wanted to block the Israelis from doing so.

The Project for the New American Century was a neoconservative think tank that focused on US foreign policy. It was founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan in 1997. In 1998, Kristol and Kagan advocated regime change in Iraq. Convenient timing? https://t.co/fLBwi3xxEt
