I had this when using my corporate VPN. Disconnected and still got it. I thought maybe it was a bug that had to do with Firefox.

A few minutes later I refreshed and it was all fine.

I have two cats. One is deaf. The one who can hear will politely present herself when she hears me open a can of tuna. After a few more minutes, the deaf cat will wake up from being dead asleep (the sleep of a deaf cat is on another level) and follow her nose to the kitchen. It always impresses me.

The Vergecast is at the top of my list for tech podcasts. They don’t lean right.

Desktop also includes their webapp: https://play.pocketcasts.com/

I use it a ton, place shifting between desktop and mobile.

Do you have a source for that?

How did this pass muster as having standing?

As much as I don’t think the pact will do much, it’s their right to defederate whichever instances they want.

It is.

Your argument only sounds kinda sane when applied to Meta, but the same could be said about instances made by bad actors (spammers, for example).

But Meta is what we are talking about, here. I would expect instances from spammers (and similar actors) to be defederated. Similar to how SMTP servers (running a long lived, widely used, open, and interoperable protocol) have a variety of tools to block emails coming from bad sources.
