Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway

Tried and couldn't! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.

Eh, not really. I don't use google and I block trackers anyway.

Who could foresee that that when a movement doesn't ban Nazis, Nazis take it over?

I understand that running services costs money, and I've heard nothing but good things about Kagi. Can anyone here convince me it's worth the price?

Thank you! I made a similar comment elsewhere. This was a chart for sales, and because generative AI can't even be copyrighted there is no reason to purchase it. This has publicity stunt written all over it.

man made or not.

If there is a silver lining to any of this AI nonsense it's that it just might wake some people up to the fact that they have been fed corporate slop for decades. AI changes nothing except it makes slop faster.

I don't wanna defend pop music too much but "catchy" is one of those aspects of music that's easy to immediately recognize but extremely hard to pull off. In order to be catchy a melody needs to be both wholly familiar feeling but also juuuuuust different enough to surprise our ears.

I'm not saying a generative AI couldn't ever pull it off if you drained enough lakes to do it, but while it's very good at producing the "familiar" it's very very bad at producing anything "surprising".

Odd that it's on top of a sales chart when AI music can't be copyrighted, so anyone could just get it for free. It makes me suspect it's presence there might be inauthentic.
