Brave is icky. It’s smeared in crypto and they were caught injecting affiliate links in 2020.

Apple Music. The initial reason was that my own music was uploaded to be part of it. Along the way I’ve been using Spotify and many others. Today, I refuse to use Spotify. Why?

• They actively pay and host Joe Rogan’s lies and bullshit

VLC is amazing, but it is also a cluttered mess. This feels more like some of the sleeker MPlayer GUIs and is worth giving a shot - if only to see just how different (and still good) it is.

I always keep VLC around like a big Swiss knife, but it’s nice to have something else that is elegant and ready to use to supplement it.
