The AyeSphere - The Wonka-verse, AI shenanigans, and the travesty of Madame Web | S3 E2 | RSS.com
On this week’s AyeSphere, Joy and Aye talk about the Glasgow Willy Wonka AI scam scandal, what the new Timothee Chalamet addition to the Wonka-verse gets right and where the other films rank compared to the original Gene Wilder adaptation.
Aye also got Joy to watch Madame Web because apparently he enjoys testing the strength of their friendship ! (Spoiler alert: It’s bad) They also veer into various other media because it’s not the AyeSphere without a tangent.

(just sending an ask because im ancient tumblr person who can't use replies on custom theme blogs T_T) a feedbro tailored for webcomics guide would be wonderful!! i'm using it rn thanks to your post but i still wonder if there's ways i can elevate my rss feed experience!
Tumblr tip: you can click the little eyeball at the top of any custom themed blog post and be taken to the tumblr layout for replying!
I'm glad there's been some reception for another RSS comic, when I'm a little less busy I'll work on a Feedbro follow-up comic! I'd thumbnailed it a few months ago even.
However, I still use Feedly for webcomics because I like the little browser button that takes me to the webcomic's site. I enjoy viewing the comic page on its own site, the size of the image likely isn't shrunk at all, and if the webcomic has ads then I can give some ad revenue to some folks by viewing their sites!
What I do use Feedbro for is a social media replacement, where tumblr, twitter, mastodon, cohost, etc. posts are all in one big feed instead of viewing them all on separate sites.
I like both Feedly and Feedbro, though I know Feedly has some issues (AI integration and limited amount of feeds you can follow) but it's still exactly how I want my webcomics RSS experience to be.
Currently getting hyperfixated on RSS feeds this is not a joke btw. Im at the point im getting genuinely upset when I don't have acsess to my rss reader
i think we should bring back RSS feeds. i dunno. i think we should slap silly little RSS feeds on our silly little neocities pages to simulate the feeling of having a dash to scroll without all the corporate baggage and socmed addiction that comes with actually scrolling dashes these days. can we do that?? pls??
Also: fun fact! To add a Tumblr blog to your RSS feed, all you need to do is copy said blog's url (username.tumblr.com) and add /rss after it, and paste it into the box when you are adding a new feed
What have you missed by not visiting the History Files frontpage and the RSS feed on a daily basis?
Okay, not so much in the past week. But normal service resumes today! You can also catch up by visiting the RSS feed (the orange icon at the top of each page):
In the final AyeSphere episode of 2023, Joy once again regales Aye about the latest book world fiasco as they break down the career-ending saga of Cait Corrain, an up-and-coming author who destroyed everything she’d worked for out of insecurity, racism, and lies. They also delve into the perpetuation of plagiarism and lack of accountability from content farms masquerading as creators, and why James Somerton can go fuck himself. What a way to end the year.
Trigger warnings for this episode: This episode deals with fairly heavy topics surrounding racism, misogyny, homophobia, and mentions of Nazism.

does anyone have a recommendation for an (iOS) rss/podcast app?
I would like something fairly simple; I would like to be able to control downloads, and I'd like to be able to search and also to add URLS. the one i'm currently using has a nice feature that allows you to set a time to skip intros
also needs: sleep timer, ability to set to listen from oldest to newest (narrative podcasts i do not want to listen to backwards???)
the reason i want a different app than my current one is it has banner ads. I would pay a one-time fee to kill ads; I might even pay a low-cost recurring fee to kill ads. the app i currently have wants $10 per year to kill ads and this seems. high to me.
