Is .clear a stand-in TLD for non-TOR sites, or a science joke?

I like it either way

I mute a few more non-English accounts each time I use Mastodon

Billionaires are three ones

Pretty much, give or take a handful. It’s OK, the invisible hand of the free market will surely… trails off

Can you prove the barrel is aimed at our forehead?!

99-100% isn’t 100%! I’ll believe it when I see the exit wound!

On Mac, I would use Keyboard Maestro to try to automate that. I think AutoHotkey can do the same kind of thing on Windows?

Two horizontally stitched screenshots comparing a search for “Reavers GIF” on DuckDuckGo and Google in Safari iOS (private tabs). DDG presented zero Firefly/Serenity relevant results while Google found them exclusively.

Hopefully a privacy-focused yet fast instance for US West Coast cheapskates who probably should pony up for Kagi, buttttttttttt

Four stitched screenshots of an iOS 18 home screen. The icons are themed in the style of a “NookPhone“ from the video game Animal Crossing.

Reference, apparently: NookPhone


I’d like to try heavily theming my home screen, paradoxically while keeping icons quite recognizable.

The image contains a cheese pizza, with one single slice flipped over. The accompanying text includes:

  1. A tweet from "spence" stating: "pizza tip: always flip a lucky"

  2. A reply from "Carrier Technician" saying: "Looks awful"

  3. A follow-up tweet from "spence": "if you died nothing in my life would change"

The timestamps show the follow-up was posted at 4:54 PM on September 5, 2024, and notes it has 99 views.

“David Attenborough” (a soundalike voice) explains the Cybertruck's parasitic relationship with flatbed trailers; transcript:

Here we see the Cybertruck has formed a peculiar symbiotic relationship with the larger flatbed trailer species. Evolutionarily disadvantaged, the Cybertruck has come up with a clever way to transport itself long distances.

By attaching itself to the flatbed trailer, the Cybertruck can reliably move about without risking injury to its fragile exoskeleton or internal organs. What the flatbed trailer gets in return for this kindness, science has yet to discover.

I wondered who had made the video and found myself on Reddit, in r/CyberStuck, where the video was originally posted. The creator of the fake Attenborough video, who has since deleted the post, explains in the comments that they wrote the script and edited the video, and for source material, they used "a bunch of Cybertruck fanboys on YouTube, Whistlindiesel, and also the lovely people on this fair subreddit."

Horizontally stitched screenshots showing a Google Meet call on the iPhone where the microphone mute icon is highlighted in active mute status while the lock screen displays a mute icon which is not selected and inactive.

Always been this way for months. ~~IIRC, the lock screen mute button is nonfunctional.~~ Mute functionality detailed here.

Latest Versions: iOS 17.6.1, Google Meet 260.0

I should report this bug to Google and not Apple, right?
