A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Despite Spotify’s best efforts 🥲

Thankfully Spotify's podcast platform still supplies RSS for most podcasts. The only exclusive podcast I listen to got so much backlash they had to make it non exclusive again

Which was that? Afaik heaveyweight still has one season exclusive to the platform

It's a podcast called Parenting Hell

So good. I love British panel shows and I'm a parent of young kids. It's one of my most-listened-to podcasts in the last 4 years.

Didn't realize it ever went Spotify exclusive. That must have been between my binge sessions; I've only listened (on Podcast Addict) to a small fraction of what my wife listens to (on Spotify).

Truth. I was genuinely angry seeing how Spotify kept trying to buy up everything podcast related. Felt like I was screaming into the void about how platform exclusive podcasts are antithetical to the free and open nature of podcasts. I hope their billions of dollars invested into podcasts continue to bite them in the butts.
