Reminds me when Quora was very popular and subs were dedicated to filtering weird/funny posts from there. There was one called r/Indianpeoplequora and it was quite active back in the day (Quora got a lot of user base here in India at its peak though honestly that site looks eerily empty now).

Listenbrainz is good. I scrobble to both there and Last.fm, there was librefm as well but it is in maintenance mode now practically with no new sign ups.

Indian newspapers have launched partially automated YouTube channels, some with AI avatar presenters. Nearly a fifth of Indian readers said they use chatbots like ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini (including AI Overviews) weekly to access news. In the U.K., that number was only 3%.

I knew YouTube channels were popular as a news source in my country (with their over the top hysterical style) but didn't knew that Gemini/GPT was also getting big here.

I still read a digital version of a proper newspaper. I find it slightly more informative and factual. In the good old days, I used to get a physical newspaper because nothing beats the touch of paper.

I have Prime too for shopping mainly. I also can't use Prime Video because it refuses to go beyond 480p on Firefox for Linux (Atleast last time I tried).

Two Eyes Twelve Hands was an Hindi film released in 1957. The original title of course was different and displayed in the image.

Based on a true open prison experiment, the two eyes are of a jailor and 12 hands of 6 convicts each whom he oversees not to betray his trust he has placed upon them.

The popular Photos watch face is enhanced with numerals made of Liquid Glass, allowing users to see even more of their photo.

I always assumed more people would be interested in seeing the time rather than photo.

I copy/pasted the article text above. Usually, Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Firefox works (too bad, they yanked it from main add on repo because of ahem, copyright issues).

Which Adblock are extension are you using ( Adblock Plus by any chance?)? I just tried on mobile Firefox with uBlock Origin and rendered fine.

Lots of circle jerking in the rest of the post that OP linked. Reminds me of the sub r/indianpeoplelinkedin (which was just a subset of LinkedIn lunatics basically) back when it used to be active ( dunno now since many smaller communities have closed down).

Also, for some weird reason, LinkedIn won't let me read the rest of the post despite me being logged in on the mobile site. It won't scroll down and just says works better in the app. Dunno if they hate Firefox or mobile users in general. I had to toggle desktop version of the site to get it to load.

There is one called FairEmail. While it technically has a pro version (one time purchase), but most of the needed features are available on the free tier. Plus it's available on F Droid as well, so that's a plus and is continuously maintained.

Oddly, I did know some BASIC and I have vague memories of the numeric line starters like 10 with white text on a black background giving it a retro feel.

Lary Ellison is one of the richest men in the world right and owns some kind of private island or something that he bought basically after showing his shares of Oracle stock?
