You can turn off captions, I thought. Uploaders can supply their own caption tracks if they want. Otherwise auto generated ones are available. They aren't great but they can help.

Yeah that sounds about right. It has its own fandom separate from the main HP fic fandom. So the posters aren't always looking for the same things.

Here's a 47 THOUSAND WORD NEGATIVE REVIEW railing that much about how terrible a certain Gary Stu fanfic (HPMOR) is. I mean it's insane. Not many people like HPMOR (it's aimed at a particular type of nerd) and even its admirers know it has errors and lots of cringy parts. The reviewer instead goes through the whole fic sentence by sentence finding things to complain about. Most of the complaints are correct but trivial, adding up to "so what?".

Anyway it wouldn't occur to me that Gary Stu is automatically loved. Lots of people hate HPMOR, I mean really hate it, but most do the sensible thing and stop reading after a few chapters, or maybe even read it all and then say "wow, that sucked" and go on to something else. So there.

I remember writing a script that posted an X event 1x a minute for something like that. The event was probably simulating pressing the shift key.

Intercept doing clickbait now?

"The LAPD knew the protests were coming: Two days earlier, the department received advanced warning on Dataminr, a social media surveillance firm and “official partner” of X."

Turn it off completely. I opened a thread about it a while back when I tried to recommend WGM Jennifer Shahade's memoir "Chess Bi tch" and both the title and link got censored. I could bypass the text censorship but the link was harder. Not good. We aren't kids here and if something needs removal, leave it to human mods and reports.

Only for Europe? Darn.

In an interview I'm fine with any structure or topics you want. By informal structure I meant in the software UI, not the interview. I'll to post more tomorrow or so.

I hadn't heard of that comment, which wasn't as dumb as it sounds, though some obvious solutions were overlooked and the phrasing wasn't great.

Interesting, thanks. I do have the impression that there is evidence of a historical Jesus, though maybe not conclusive. Wikipedia again (maybe not objectively) discusses this:

Yes, I think as a pure theological question, historical thought has been a bit complicated. So I linked to the Wikipedia article that hopefully goes into it a bit. I admit to not having read the Wikipedia article carefully. This isn't my area at all.

I'll try to take a closer look and I might be up for an interview, since the concept interests me. I generally prefer less formal structure. Do you remember DMOZ? It might even still be around.

Looks interesting, first thing I notice is that the demo loads rather slowly. Why not just a wiki?

How could a human be dumb enough to talk about the Bekenstein bound having something to do with the shape of galaxies, but them seamlessly go from there to talking about the shape of flowers? Flowers have nothing to do with the Bekenstein bound. Of course it's dubious even for galaxies. And anyone who has studied basic classical mechanics or ODE's knows that harmonic oscillators occur everywhere in nature. Unforced ones give circular or elliptical orbits, and forced ones (meaning the eigenvalue is not purely imaginary) give spirals, inward or outward depending on the sign of the real part.

Human or ChatGPT, meh, maybe you are right that it was written by a human, at least partly. But I've seen flowery though meaningless language come out of ChatGPT before.

Anyway, it's crap.

Well are the stuck astronauts still stuck?

I was gonna say it's sciencey sounding dribble wrapped in pseudo-poetic gush. ChatGPT is my main suspect.

It used to be "all lives matter" and now it's this? Wow.

There was once a literal war with guns between the US and Canada (War of 1812} and Canada won.
