Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino's home screen is quite intriguing: "X doesn’t appear to be on her home screen but, incredibly, Facebook and Instagram are. I also spot Signal — Elon Musk’s messaging app of choice, and the Holy Bible, which really is the original super app if you think about it. (Also, Settings in the dock? What are you doing, Linda!)" image

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!
