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 will actually pull my bike onto the sidewalk and stop to skip ads lol

[-] BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This is the way.

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 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).

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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.

PineTime watch

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 The app is horridly outdated though, and the PineTime felt like a great stopgap until it just wouldn't stay paired.

Check your headphones, there may be an option to skip ahead by tapping or holding a button/area.

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

There's a track skip but no fast forward in mine, unfortunately
