"Mayors sign letter opposing changes to Māori wards"
Go NZ mayors!
"A Hawke's Bay mayor says the government's proposed changes to Māori wards are racist, because councils can create other wards without requiring a referendum."
Continuing my trend of living under a rock, I just found out there's a Nextcloud plugin that replicates gpodder.net for syncing podcast playback. It works with AntennaPod too (among others).
"A plan to update the system for regulating our media content has been running under the radar for years. Some of the agencies that do it now backed the move to one single body, but this week the government dumped it over fears it could cramp free expression online."
Thoughts on this? My knee-jerk anarchist response is that democratic governance has no place in decisions about citizens' expression, online or otherwise. But...

Are there any fedi-specific podcasts that talk about different software, maybe? I couldn't find anything under #FediPodcasts. 🤔
Other than that, please feel free to recommend your favourite podcasts to me! :boost_ok: Topics I'm usually interested in:
Queer/LGBTQ+, BDSM/Kink, latest movies/shows/games talk from a feminist POV, nostalgia trips re: old franchises: shows/games. Sometimes even true crime.
Bei Bücher - #Podcasts sei man, wie auch bei Anderen, im Übrigen sehr vorsichtig: die launigen und intellektuell beschränkten Kommentare sind oftmals nervig, der Content eher limitiert. Viel Grossprecherei im Schnitt, viel sich brüstender Grosssprech. Ich nenne hier keine, aber ihr wisst wohl, was ich meine: "... die Themen, der der Roman verhandelt ..." und sich dabei mit seinem Englisch und seinem Wissen vokal brüsten. Nein, ich will keine Bonusfolge, bitte nicht.
Here's a video of Steve Jobs showcasing a new feature in iTunes... podcasts!
"You could try to sell podcasts but the whole phenomenon is so great - it's free. And I think what we're going to see is an advertising-supported model emerge, just like free radio."
Apparently the term 'podcast' is a portmanteau of 'iPod' and 'broadcasting'. Here, Steve picks the latest episode from the Adam Curry Podcast and is quick to hit the stop button. 😆
In this visit there is music from The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, The Undertones, The Who, Stevie Wonder, a Kiwi Classic from The Headless Chickens, and more
Just dropped a new episode of The Self-Host Cast featuring a casual conversation with Ivan, the developer of the #vehicle maintenance tracking application #LubeLogger.
Would love some feedback on ways to improve or suggestions for future episode topics!
"I think the defining economic reality of the modern platform media world is that all the platforms realized that an infinite supply of teenage creators are cheaper to deal with than media companies or groups of media individuals or powerful creators."
"We're also competing against a lot of people in politics who come along and say... it's those rich people's fault, we'll just take even more money off them and give it to you."
This is the fundamental lie of neoliberal politics. A total inversion of the truth, which is that neoliberal parties say 'it's those poor people's fault, we'll just take the money off them and give it to you', and they do.
Can you recommend a good open source podcasts app for Android? Google Podcasts is shutting down soon, and I don't think I want listen to podcasts on YT Music
