  Brave is shady af and iirc Opera got bought by some Chinese spyware company.

  Ah makes sense

  Who is this even for? 10 gigs is a rounding era in drive space.

  I also miss being able to properly shoulder a handset to keep your hands free.

  Earbuds are the superior option.

  Prob just some losers on TikTok pretending like it’s the newest trend but not really using one in real life.

  Free one. I found it to be a lot worse than Chat GPT’s free tier. I didn’t test it mega in depth but I threw some of the same “rewrite this copy but make it better in <this> way” sort of tasks I’ve used GPT for and it turned around ridiculously bad writing.

  I then asked it if it thought that what it had produced was good writing and comically it told me that it was bad and full of cliches and that I should avoid using it. I’m not making that up.

  I tried Gemini and it did some of the worst writing I’ve seen in some time. YMMV

  Yeah I don’t know why it’s a surprise to anyone that NFT losers are now morphing into AI losers. It’s a bunch of talentless hacks trying to get rich quick through the lowest possible input of effort. Bonus points that they get to annoy a lot of people in the process.

  It's done via RSS feeds that the podcast creators then submit to aggregators. This website explains the gist of it.

  Yeah the locking down podcasts for exclusivity to me is really fucking toxic and totally counter to what podcasts used to stand for. Really pissed me off when Gimlet went Spotify only and Reply All was no longer available elsewhere. Very anti consumer.

  Newsletters kinda are too. You use a service to send them, but the list itself remains yours and can be moved around. No algorithm bullshit in your way. They're making a comeback lately it seems.

  Twitter was a publicly traded company when he bought it and Dorsey only had like 2% of shares by then.
