We are going to add transcriptions soon for podcasts that include it in their feeds. No plans to add autog-enerated transcripts anytime soon, I'd rather show the feed that creators intend listeners to see.

Thanks, hopefully that gets more common as apps add support.

It sort of does both. The idea behind the app was you should just play it and not worry about the implementation detail. We need to get better at managing the storage space and showing the user what is in the cache.

We support WebSub. It helps on the margins, but many feeds do not use it and also it isn't 100% reliable.

man the year 10,000 is really going to break a lot of software systems that assume a 4 digit year

Possibly; this assumes that our current calendar's epoch holds, that humanity is still around, that computing systems are still around, and legacy software from 8,000 years past is still kicking people in the butt.

Given that electronic computing has only existed since approximately the 1930s, it's probably premature to worry about what will happen 8,000 years from now.

Worse case scenario we can get around to updating stuff by the time we hit the year 9,900 or so

Eh, that's gonna be their problem to unfuck software that assumes 4 digit years. I'm gonna be long dead and forgotten by then.

Not to worry. The calendar will be rebased when A.I. replaces J.C. as the starting point.

This is exactly backwards. Google will happily not index any of your content with a simple robots.txt file. These companies are desperate for Google's traffic. They should be paying Google for it!

Thanks!
