Links of the day

I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive.

Deezer confirms demonetization of up to 85% of AI-music streams due to fraud and moves to sell AI-detection Technology. More than 60,000 AI-generated songs are already sent to Deezer *every day*, or 39% of the total. Now the French streaming service will sell its detection technology to other companies. AI generating business! (Cleaning up the mess made by AI, in this case.)

The Realme P4 Power arrives with 10,001 mAh battery and a tough chassis, GSMArena. Very cool, yes (it has more battery than my tablet with its 7,306 mAh), but what collective delusion is this to think that a 219g cell phone is light?

Google begins rolling out Chrome's "Auto Browse" AI agent, Ars Technica. Nothing new on the front, just Gemini performing web tasks for you, like all other “AI browsers.” For now, only for those who pay for Google's AI plans.

Spotify rolls out group chats, TechCrunch. Great, another app with group conversations. I’m glad they’re filling this gigantic market gap. There are days when I can’t talk to anyone, due to lack of a messaging app with groups. Thank you, Spotify.

Threema has a new owner, blueWin. Every now and then, this messaging app pops up as a more private alternative. And it's paid. It was already a bit suspicious, but now… The new owners are a German private equity firm.

Zotero 8. Major new update to Zotero, with a new centralized citation area, list annotations, and a panel to customize text display.

European Alternatives. Directory of alternative internet services to those in the US, all located in Europe.

Fun with the web. I'm always impressed by how much you can do with just CSS. The important thing is to try to have fun with all these possibilities.
