Music Including a wild story about Fiona Apple's history with Ferris wheels. by Joseph Earp  11 December 2020 It has been an extraordinary year to be a Fiona Apple fan. First, the singer-songwriter released one of the best records of her career, the trembling and taped-together Fetch The Bolt Cutters. Around the same time, she also gave an honest interview with Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker in which, amongst other things, she talked about her relationship with music and with her exes. And the profiles haven’t stopped coming, either. Just this week, Pitchfork published a lengthy chat with the artist in which she dropped a treasure trove of tidbits. For a start, Apple revealed that she isn’t the Luddite she is sometimes painted as. In actuality, she loves Tumblr, and frequently uses the site to discover new obsessions and artworks. Secondly, Apple also spoke at length about the contours of her own voice. She admitted that though once upon a time she liked to sing “pretty”, these days she’s just as happy to leave in the mistakes. “I make very, very strange sounds without meaning to if I think about things that embarrass me, which is very often,” Apple says. “They’re not pretty…

tech2 News StaffDec 11, 2020 09:25:13 ISTLast month, Facebook announced that it is launching a new feature called the Vanish Mode on Messenger and Instagram. Facebook started out by rolling out the feature only on Messenger in the US and a few other countries, however, in the past few weeks, the rollout has been made wider. Now, Facebook has also started rolling out the Vanish Mode for Instagram users. The Vanish Mode, as the name suggests, essentially allows users to share something silly or embarrassing and then immediately forget about it by vanishing the entire chat.

These vanished messages will not exist in your chat history either. To turn on the Vanish Mode, you just need to swipe up in the chat they would like to send the goofy selfie or a post haircut look on.

Bunnyhop.tv TwitchJessica S. December 11, 2020The Twitch community has just discovered Bunnyhop.tv and they don't like it.  Bunnyhop.tv is a website that embeds Twitch streams by content creators the site deems attractive. The front page prompts viewers to "sign in to follow your favorite girls." When female streamers found out about Bunnyhop.tv they were deeply upset about the website's practices.  This is disgusting. A discord team I'm a part of notified me that there is a website that takes "attractive female streamers" and embeds your link into their page without your knowledge. I have many friends that are female streamers, and this explains alot of the hell they get. — Alpha (@ItsKBAlpha) December 10, 2020 The site embeds female Twitch streamers without their permission. The criteria by which they choose to add female streamers to their website is unknown, and many streamers who have found themselves on the site have felt sick, outraged, and fearful. Hundreds of women looked to Twitch to help them take down the site and it seems that their efforts have been fruitful. Twitch support tweeted about the incident and announced that they had blocked the site from embedding streams. The website still lists females who…
