Brass bell you say?
I don’t know any pirates, but I sure do know a lot of people that share copies of files on the internet.


I have DuckDuckGo set as default everywhere (with all the AI n such turned off), and I only revert back to Google sometimes when shopping or doing deep research. It still just does some things better, but it’s worth avoiding if you don’t need it.


99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers…
Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.
And so so much more.
It’s all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.
App doesn’t appear to work at all.
Might work with the floating button, but I won’t activate it to test.
The accessibility option it needs is unclear, it just sent me to the android accessibility setting tab with no idea what needs to be done there, if anything.
It didn’t replace my default assistant when I tried to change it.
Circletosearch says to double tap the status bar? Why? That doesn’t do anything?
I didn’t see anything sketchy about the app, but it doesn’t appear to be functional, so meh. Maybe try again after they’ve worked on it some more.


Ran into this on newpipe last week, just loaded a webpage in mobile Firefox then went back to newpipe and refreshed the page.
Not sure about your situation, but there are definitely work arounds for some situations.


Well, I originally saw both Blair Witch and H20 played from really dark and messy VHS copies of theater recordings… And man, let me tell ya, they were both way better as low quality cams that HD movies!
I intentionally watch bad Horror as cams now, when I can, even decades later… It really adds to the experience!


Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die is probably going to be my favorite for the year. I expect to rewatch it a bunch over the coming years, like I did for Moon and like I still do for Mr Right (one that me and my SO will both sit and watch if I put it on).


While I oppose ICE, this is stupid.
The person chose to put themselves in front of a vehicle in motion which appeared to be moving to ensure it’s occupants could escape an area where a clear threat to them was present. I don’t care if the occupants were teens, drunk uncles, my grandma, or ICE. Fuck that idiot for getting on the hood or moving intentionally in front of that vehicle!
The vehicle occupants don’t appear to have targeted anyone, so they get a pass. At least from what is shown in the video.
It’s possible they had other exit opportunities that didn’t put the peds in harms way, and chose to drive through them on purpose, and lf so that changes things, but that’s not shown in the video.


I only hate you because of the color of your shirt!
SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.
Linux, here we come.


Why do they last more than a year?
Why do they exist at all?


Can not both be true?
I only pee in other people’s showers.


My grand pappy worked on parts used for those moon buggies. He was pretty knowledgeable about them and proud of his work.
Would be pretty shitty for him to have learned it was all staged.
He was a hard ass too, ex British Navy.
I don’t think it wise to hire people like him to work on projects you intend to use to lie to and betray the public.
Pretty sure it’d be more cost effective and safer to just hire joe schmoe to work up some gadget in his garage, or to handle it in house. Why hire outside professionals and actually do the real work to just lie about the outcome.
What is a reddit?


The phonetic alphabet is so cool!


Shouldn’t ‘tell them off’ at all either.
Teach to the problem. Or moderate it.
Allow the person to continue coexisting.


If you want to invite them to reexamine their behavior… Actually do that, not the other more aggressive, offensive, and immature thing… Then play it off as something more.
‘fuck you!’
‘fuck me?’
‘no, no, that’s not what I meant!’
Just say what you actually meant!
Those files are kinda a nightmare to navigate in their bare state. And the datasets are huge. I doubt anyone training AI would allow them to go through knowingly, less it was specifically a police invesigation and case law focused AI that was designed to process and categorize that kind of data.
Most AI are designed for functional discussion and factual data processing. It’s not a great idea to just feed in random trash.
