It’s on Flathub. It’s open source C++ so what ever you can compile it for.

It should be yes, though to be fair Americans are the worst for doing this when it’s the other way round.

Shouldn’t they also use the same bullshit excuse when issuing an ID card? At least make the dumb rules consistent.

To be fair, ID cards aren’t common in the UK and passports are very common. This is quite probably the first time she’s applied for any form of ID. Not agreeing with it, just saying.

I strongly believe nuisance advertising should be fought separately from privacy concerns. Both are valid concerns but need a different approach. Advertising based on website visits that collect user data is privacy intrusive, but an ad baked into a YouTube video is probably not (regardless of whether it’s annoying or not).

If you don’t really care about the podcast then that’s OK, but if I like a podcast I want a permanent offline copy to relisten to if the podcast goes offline. I guess I’m a bit of a data-hoarder and that’s niche, but simply being able to save a file you download to where you want I think should be a standard feature, there’s no need for an extra layer of abstraction.

The problem is for me that it usually downloads to some obscure folder, not to where I want to save and archive my podcasts.

Nothing beats just downloading a podcast and listening to it in VLC or you audio player of choice - I don’t really understand why podcast apps are needed.

But that said, if you need to use one AntennaPod has all the features and you can even get it on F-Droid.
