Well it looks like my relationship with #Opera is over after a couple years, suddenly today they have started putting an Aria ( their #AI bullshit) widget in every single text box I open including social media posts, despite having every Aria option turned off in the settings.
Does anybody have suggestions for alternative #browser which isn't Brave or Firefox?
This is a pretty cool yet somewhat creepy website lol.

Freaky coincidences. Albatross told me to look up the animation "The Cunning Little Vixen", wanted to see what the animation style was like.
First hit I get is "Cunning Little Vixen - Oslo", so I click to see what that is about, and, yah, it premieres tomorrow at the Norwegian #Opera in #Oslo
Like, wtheck are the chances of that...
#OTD in 1925.
Ravel's opera L'enfant et les sortilèges (written from 1917 to 1925), to a libretto by Colette, is premiered at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo.
After being offered the opportunity to write a musical work, Colette wrote the text in eight days. Several composers had proposed to Colette that she write to music, but she was only excited by the prospect of Ravel.

Viviana Freyer Shares a Look Inside Two Current and Upcoming Literary Adaptations For the Stage

Okay, in 1851 the opera Rigoletto was first performed in Venice. BUT 155 years later, a Canadian film adaptation, ''Rigoletto ...in bluegrass" won Best Originality at the Bluegrass Independent Film Festival in Kentucky.
While most of the music is deliberately corny bluegrass, the Prelude and the Introduction from the original opera are performed by the Mandolin Society of Peterborough.
High Notes!
Yesterday I sang my last Der kleine Prinz, Pierangelo Valtinoni‘s children‘s opera «Il piccolo principe» in German. A kind soul took this short clip of me as La Vanitosa/The Vain Lady/Die Eitle!
Recommend for an android web browser to replace Firefox?
I've heard of:
#vivaldi #libreWolf #waterfox #zen #opera
Not all of them have #Android clients which is a requirement for me.
What's the preferred privacy-focused non-ad #browser these days for phones?
I liked Firefox after I left chrome, and now Vivaldi seems acceptable so far.
I don't need sync, would like extensions, and I have to be able to use external password manager.
Let's the opinions fly! Thanks.
I used to be a big fan of the #Opera #browser. And what I see happening now with #Firefox is very similar to what happened with Opera.
Opera Software ASA acquired AdMarvel, a mobile advertising company, in 2010. Advertising became the primary business, and the browser was sidelined, dropped its own engine, and was eventually sold to Chinese investors, who completed the enshittification. The spirit around the original Opera was reborn with #Vivaldi, but the engine was lost.
#Mozilla acquired Anonym, an advertising company, in 2024 and started making really worrying decisions about Firefox...
I just hope it doesn't go the same way, for the sake of the Web.

Remember the #RollingStones:
You can't always get, what You want -
but if You try sometimes,
You get what You need.
Use #Opera - it's good !
Unimaginable, what Work and Money it would cost, to maintain a complete Open Source Browser. Ask the #Debian #Community, for #Example, why they will not develop one. You can see a bit in the #Tor - Browser, what it takes to achieve this. It's #Firefox too, but it's the best, you can get so far. Or use #Lynx, a #Text Browser.

I think some of you may find this interesting. I myself am beginning to study all of this, as I am fascinated by the singing methods and knowledge of the time. It is a bit difficult doing it being blind and unable to read music, but fortunately, there are ways around that. My perfect pitch and good memory for lyrics also helps. Still, if anyone would like to work with me on this i.e. study together or even give some advice, I would appreciate it.
Below, you will find various links related to theory, harmony and counterpoint, and a comparison of older and modern methods of teaching and singing. While this relates to choirs and opera, it also relates to the theatre, particularly operettas and such.
Studying Music: Part I
https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html
My one criterion was that the methods and books used had to be from the time of Ivor Novello, preferably from his youth (born 1893). If I were to start in the early nineteenth century, which is where most of my preferred non-musical educational material is from, I would miss extremely important developments in classical music. Starting at the birth of his mother, Clara Novello Davies, in 1861, would be fine. However, since her own book, which I am using as my main text and guide, was written in 1928, I went with that of her son. In the following sections, you will find the books I am using. One thing I have not included, though it was a huge influence in Ivor's own writing style, was theatrical music, such as that found in operettas and Edwardian musical comedies. That is such a large topic for discussion that I feel it deserves its own separate post, as does Ivor's music, since it's an interesting blend of all of the above. But this is well outside the scope of traditional musical study.
In the next entry (the below link), we will delve into vocal training and why the singers of Novello's time sound so wonderful.
Studying Music: Part II
https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205505.html
Finally, since I mentioned the exercises, here they are, for anyone who wants to try them. Note that these are the Preliminaries and Breathlock Physicals, not the vocal exercises. But I have provided the link to her book as well, for those who may wish to go further.
