@gajim Looking great! 👏

Chapter 76 — Build 243

The shelf learned what to leave alone

What changed

Episode filtering is experimental in this build, and I definitely want your
feedback. Each podcast now has filtering options in Podcast Settings. Rules can
match an episode title with plain text or a wildcard pattern and can use a
minimum or maximum duration. Matching is case-insensitive unless you turn that
off.

Preview checks the newest 50 episodes even while Filter new episodes is off. If
you turn the switch on, future refreshes apply the rules automatically. When you
save an active filter, you can also apply it once to episodes already in your
Inbox or Queue. Filtered episodes stay in the podcast's library. Downloads,
played state, and listening position are preserved.

If keep-matching rules reject every new candidate in one refresh, Earshot saves
a warning in Podcast Settings. This is a safety check for feeds that change
their titles or stop supplying durations.

What to test

Open a podcast, choose Podcast Settings, then Episode Filters. Add title and
duration rules and compare Preview with the episode list. Try both filter
matching and keep matching. Preview should update before the main switch is on.

Turn Filter new episodes on, save, and choose whether to apply the rules to
existing episodes. Matching existing episodes should leave the Inbox or Queue
but remain in the podcast's episode list. Refresh afterward and confirm new
episodes follow the same rules. Also try a feed with short segments, where more
than ten items may arrive together.

Please send feedback from Settings. I especially want to know about a preview
that disagrees with the saved result, an episode that disappears from the
podcast library, an unexpected Queue change, a warning that is missing or
wrong, or any VoiceOver wording or delay that gets in your way.

Kashe opened the morning show and found six clips around the interview she
wanted. The clips were useful to somebody. They just were not useful to her.

She made one rule, listened through the preview, and saved it. The Inbox grew
quiet without pretending the other episodes had never existed.

Renata asked if she trusted it.

“It says experimental,” Kashe said. “So I am experimenting.”

as a rule i love learning about stupid internet shit. and one has something of a responsibility to know about truly bad stuff. but i am frankly very unhappy to have learned of the $8,000,000 vibe coded arch config file nazi guy. the precise combination of evil and annoying this story occupies is just harrowing. i keep thinking about the stupid photo he uses on github or whatever and how he was probably like like "wow i look soooo cool and intense" and spiking my blood pressure for no good reason

Oh. Kevin Spacey is in it. 😬

@thomasfuchs 😆😆😆

@evacide or never...

“How’d you end up there, Sundog?”

Well, I’m looking at obscure communications network protocols and specifications and came across IEEE 1355 and it looked interesting but then it hit me with a link to SpaceWire and c’mon, like I could resist SpaceWire!

The European Cooperation for Space Standardization has a bare directory where they publish zip files of all active standards in PDF or DOCX as well as their handbooks for said standards with no javascript or gating to be seen.

In case you like standards documents or whatever.

Oh Kevin Spacey is in it 😬

Our community discussion #BikeNite starts in about an hour, at 4pm Pacific (UTC-8). I post cycle-y questions w/ Q1, Q2, Q3; if you answer w/ A1, A2, A3, etc, it's easier to match.

Tag #BikeNite if you want your answer to be more discoverable; follow it to see questions & replies in your feed. Boost & reply to replies to keep the discussion going.

(You can follow the BikeNiteQ tag so questions are easier to find, but don't include this in your answers)
