- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I'm almost always listening to podcasts while doing things like driving, exercising, or biking, so no I can't really dick around with my phone to skip stuff easily most of the time.
I recently discovered, the "next track" button on my steering wheel is not actually "next track" but "skip 30sec" in the podcast app (AntennaPod). Absolute game changer. I skip all sponsors now! YMMW depending on the app.
Ooh, I got a new car recently; I should check this
I will actually pull my bike onto the sidewalk and stop to skip ads lol
This is the way.
I had the same problem until I got a PineTime watch. Now I can use the navigation buttons on the watch face to skip ads (safely and responsibly, of course).
Lol I can't help but notice this reads like an ad and I can't tell if it was intentional.
A little. I had a pebble until the company got bought and killed.
I want to see enough people buy a PineTime that they succeed, so I can get another one when my current one dies.
How did you get yours to stay paired? I can't get mine to stay connected after the initial pairing 🫤
I had a ton of trouble with that when I first got it, but now it's fantastic.
There's been some (very recent) patches to InfinityOS and maybe one to Gadget bridge that helped a lot. Lately it's been great.
If it's still running a version before like 1.18(?), try to get it to update itself, and it may get a lot better.
I'll have to give it another look. Been rocking my Pebble again for a couple weeks now, I missed it quite a lot. The app is horridly outdated though, and the PineTime felt like a great stopgap until it just wouldn't stay paired.
