Here's a powerful podcast workflow: use Claude Code + the Transistor MCP + @auphonic.bsky.social CLI + FFMPEG + Whispercc to: - master the audio - transcribe - generate MP3 chapters + show notes - upload and publish the episode automatically. youtu.be/55gcYoRWgiY

My middle school health class told me LSD made you hear colors and see sounds. And I thought that sounded really really cool!

From the moment RubyGems was first created in 2004, Ruby Central provided governance without claiming ownership, to support the Ruby community.

One of the reasons LLM chatbots are compelling for answers is they’re not yet turded up with ads. But WHEN they are, they will lose some luster.

Haven’t heard of mise. I’ve been an asdf user for a while and love the “all the things” nature but find the command line fairly clunky. Mise is nice? Name is cool.

This rubygems stuff is devolving into some seriously petty shit that is BUMMING ME THE FUCK OUT. And it’s all unnecessary. You can’t just steal a goddamn project y’all. It’s as simple as that.

Super naive take. Aside from funding (happy to contribute), what's stopping us from playing an uno-reverse-card, forking rubygems.org and standing up alternate rubygems infra. source "rubyhub.org"

Helen, @transistor-michael.bsky.social, & @transistor.fm's devs gifted me (Chad) an incredible support experience today. ~6 hrs after I asked how to make show notes links open in a new tab, Transistor's dev team released an update to make that happen! We LOVE hosting our podcast on Transistor! ❤️
A chat conversation in a blue-themed interface from Transistor.fm. The chat includes messages between a user named Chad and two support representatives, Helen and Michael. Chad asks about ensuring links in podcast show notes open in new tabs, noting inconsistent behavior. Helen responds that link behavior depends on where listeners access the podcast (app vs. web), explaining that they don't currently set target parameters on feed links. Chad thanks Helen for the thorough explanation. Later, Michael provides an update that developers have released a fix to ensure show notes links open in new tabs when accessed from podcast websites and share pages, suggesting Chad try in a new browser to avoid caching issues.

I think I’m going to cancel my GitHub sponsors account. The only winner is the IRS/HMRC when every dollar is taxed twice. At least if I sold you something — a book, a course or whatever — you could expense it. I also feel bad that it’s mostly individuals, not companies.

Wanted to share a milestone @transistor.fm achieved last year: We surpassed Simplecast in total podcasts hosted. Here's why it's significant: Many people don't know this, but @jonbuda.com built the first version of Simplecast in 2013. That's how we met: In 2014, he convinced me to switch.
A table showing rankings of top 20 podcast hosting companies. The table has four columns: Rank, Podcast Hosting Company, Podcasts, and Percentage. Buzzsprout.com leads at #1 with 217,598 podcasts (19.11%), followed by spreaker.com with 134,403 (11.81%), and podbean.com with 125,133 (10.99%). Transistor.fm is highlighted in green at rank #9 with 26,902 podcasts (2.36%). The table continues down to #20 squarespace.com with 7,381 podcasts (0.65%).Transistor passed Simplecast in total podcasts hosted in 2024
