You can try NewPipe, which is free. IIRC I downloaded it from F-Droid. Maybe someone else can reply and confirm that’s the best place to get it.

Do you have a link for Stealth? Libreddit was working for me up until two days ago.

Sorry to derail but what do people think of air gap or air tube wired headphones? Do you think they are necessary?

In this case, the magazine created fake journalists with fake bios and used them.in the bylines. I would think that’s a kind of fraud and definitely hurts the magazine’s trustworthiness. The article goes into other publications that have also used fake journalists with their bylines in AI produced articles. I think if they were more transparent- say, labeling an article “AI created content” - it wouldn’t be as much of an issue.

This also doesn’t address errors in the AI produced articles (which could be solved by having a real life fair checker or editor).

Hmm. Is this supposed to be affecting everyone using Firefox with adblockers? I just played a video on FF with uBO. Worked fine for me with no delays. Maybe because I searched for the video using DDG and watched it via DDG (meaning I did not click through and watch it on YT)?

I can’t wait to tie my entire financial life to X.

I prefer "content creators. " Sametimes they can be very educational or entertaining. (I watch a lot of comedy, travel, and home workout content.)

It’s called “contextual commerce.” Article about a product has a link to said product; if you click and make a purchase, the news site makes a little money. Thus, incentivizing the new site to publish more and more articles about products.

If they sell their current car first, what do they use in the interim? Most places in the US do not have any public transportation to speak of, and those that do are not reliable or frequent enough to get anywhere on time.

Are there people out there flipping cars like they do with houses? Maybe tell those people.

I’ve read if people buying new Teslas (with some kind of credit for buying an EV), driving it for a year or so, selling it for more than they paid and then repeating the process. Not sure if this is a viable strategy anymore (don’t know if Tesla has that much demand anymore).

What search engine were you using on FF?

I listen to those stations in my car or on my alarm clock at home. But I suggested Radio Garden in case you wanted to listen to stations not in your area. Do you have public radio or college radio available?

Whats a good emergency radio with a hand crank that you would recommend?

College radio stations. For example, 90.7 WFUV.

ETA: I also like public radio, such as WNYC 93.9.

This is tangential to the conversation but have you heard of Radio Garden? You can listen to radio stations around the world. As for “good radio stations,” I’m partial to college radio stations like 90.7 FM in NYC. They have a lot of freedom with their playlists.

I sometimes resort to using Google to find the Amazon item I need.

This is the sign you were looking for to get off of dating apps.

I like AntennaPod.

I’m not sure about this (I use NP on an Android phone) but the clever folks on the Divided by Zero instance on Lemmy should be able to get you sorted.

Newpipe + Sponsorblock.
