Recent reports have announced that Crunchyroll, the largest anime streaming service, will be replacing Aegisub with Israeli Software, OOONA, to produce subtitles more efficiently. Anime fans across the world are disappointed with this collaboration due to Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians (via a report by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry).
Crunchyroll is also ignoring the needs of groups who require Closed Captions to understand the scenes better. They are isolating a large chunk of their audience in favor of AI-based subtitling, which defeats the point of a streaming service. Overall, this hasn’t been a great year for Crunchyroll, and this won’t be the end of it.

what is tone? curious on how you set up the rss feed ingest as well if you would be open to sharing.
this one https://github.com/sandreas/tone “tone is a cross platform audio tagger and metadata editor to dump and modify metadata for a wide variety of formats, including mp3, m4b, flac”
regarding RSS feed I just download them regularly, e.g on
crontabone can add0 3 * * * cd ~/Music && ~/bin/yt-dlp -x https://hearditherefirst.blog/category/dubstep/feed/but if you need something a bit more refine with filtering consider e.g.jc --xmlwithjqand `wget.
