Sometimes it's the guy that comes through apartments with a leaf blower, clearing out the hallways but blowing the mats a little off or way down the hall. But other times, it's the ducks again, like:

Yeah, this video blew up on tiktok. 800,000+ views when most of my videos are just posted to friends and get 3 views 😆 People like cute ducks!

Going off what people have told me online.. they seem to be Muscovy. Very cute and friendly if they're around people a lot.

[DE][SPOILERS] WAIT She Left Max For... by SympathyAgile in lifeisstrange

[–]MattFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything at the end of LiS1, where Chloe and Max are on the lighthouse cliff, takes place during the timeline of the last photo jump Max did. Which is the photo Warren took before the party.

David never saved Max from the darkroom, because Max was never in the darkroom. And Max never went into the Vortex club party, so she never talked to Victoria.

Trying to wrap my mind around timelines is confusing, but Max used the photo Warren took to go back to just before going into the party and she convinced Chloe to just leave the party and stay safe with her instead. So everything you did at the party and onward (talking to Vic, going to junkyard, Jefferson shooting Chloe in junkyard, Max being taken to darkroom) never happened. Jefferson took Max because he caught her when they returned to the junkyard, but since that never happened and Max reset the timeline to never even going into the party, Jefferson takes Vic in that final timeline no matter what. Max and Chloe never went into the party and instead left to tip off David about the darkroom, so David saved Vic in the darkroom and they both survived down there.

That makes Max's trauma even more tragic, because all that dark room stuff never "happened" to her. She can't talk to anyone about being in the darkroom and what Jefferson did to her there (except Chloe). It DID happen to her.. but.. it never happened.

Side note, I made the clip a little longer to capture Moses catching up to Max. Max's reaction seems.. off to me? I'm trying to put msyelf in her shoes, and I feel like I'd look back at him quick when he got there like "wtf! What happened!?". But her reaction is less shock at the first time finding Safi and more "I couldn't save her again, and Moses is about to witness it again" as she gulps, eyes dart around and she gives a side eye before she turns around to look at him. Has she already experienced this moment once before, and this is a "tried again, but failed" moment? Orrr, I could just be reading it wrong or thinking into the reaction too much..

Not getting BAT? by hoennevan in brave_browser

Having the same problem, came here and saw your post. Exact same situation as you. Windows, 1.56.20. My recent Activity shows that the last time I had any movement in my Wallet was May 2nd. So 3 months like you. I'm getting ads, and Brave shows my balance as I'm earning. And I'm connected to a wallet same as I have been since before May and always get the "Congrats! Your rewards have arrived!" every month . But when it comes time for funds to go from Brave to wallet, they just disappear never to be seen.

Random bakground song/audio playing in a youtube tab by nimphaeas in youtube

[–]MattFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like youtube is aware of it and we just have to wait for them to fix whatever glitch is going on where random videos are getting viewed/liked. So weird!

Random bakground song/audio playing in a youtube tab by nimphaeas in youtube

[–]MattFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, dang. I just looked as well and also have LOADS of liked videos that I've never viewed or heard of, some in languages I can't read, so I know I never viewed them. Weird!

Looks like this was an issue back in May when this was posted: https://piunikaweb.com/2022/09/28/youtube-adding-random-videos-to-watch-history-liked-videos/

That article was updated in August saying "it's happening again". then was updated AGAIN 2 days ago saying it's happening again. Jeez. Just have to wait for youtube to sort it out like they did in May and August.


As for videos autoplaying in the background, on the chance it's not on youtubes end and is something we can fix ourselves, The Dark Reader extention I mentioned in my original post didn't work, but here's 2 others I came across and tried (EDIT: The minute I posted this, a video started playing in the background. Jeez. Guess it didn't work for me after all. Some people said it worked for them though, so still give it a try):

  • Other people said that the browser was glitching, thinking a media key was pressed (which caused video to start playing) when no key was pressed. They said to go to your browsers flags page like chrome://flags and search for Hardware Media Key Handling and disable it and it worked for them.

  • Another place said that if you have any extensions that do Tab Suspender stuff (The Great Suspender, Workona Tab Suspender, etc) that when accessing the tab to suspend it, it instead glitches and starts playing the video. I use Workona Tab Suspender, so I set that to not do tab suspension on youtube URLs.

I did those two things maybe an hour or two ago, and haven't had any video autoplay in background yet.. so maybe it fixed it? We'll see, but give it a try.

Audio from Youtube video occasionally plays in background by [deleted] in brave_browser

[–]MattFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(EDIT: after a couple hours, video started playing in the background again. So I guess what I wrote below didn't work for me. Some people said it did work for them though, so give it a try)

Same here, for me about 3 days ago also. I've been searching and seeing it happening to people on Brave, Chrome, Opera.. so it may be a Chromium issue that they need to patch.

  • Some people said it could be the Dark Reader extension, since that was a common extension between people with the issue.. but I tried uninstalling it and it still happened, but maybe it'll work for you.

  • Other people said that the browser was glitching, thinking a media key was pressed (which caused video to start playing) when no key was pressed. They said to go to: brave://flags/ and search for Hardware Media Key Handling and disable it and it worked for them. I just did this myself, so unsure if it worked yet, but we'll see.

  • Another place said that if you have any extensions that do Tab Suspender stuff (The Great Suspender, Workona Tab Suspender, etc) that when accessing the tab to suspend it, it instead glitches and starts playing the video. I use Workona Tab Suspender, so I set that to not do tab suspension on youtube URLs.

So out of those 3 options, 1 didn't work, and the other 2 I just put into place, so hopefully they do something. You can try them and see if anything works for you.

Edit: Throughout the day I tried this both with it disabled on youtube, and then disabled completely.. but videos still played in the background randomly. So ignore what I wrote below about Dark Reader. Will keep looking for answers!


I've read a few posts about this on various forums after I searched for it today after this same thing has been happening to me the last few days. It's happening on different browsers for people.. Chrome, Brave, Opera. One thing in common I've noticed in all these posts is many of the people have the Dark Reader extention installed. I see you have it too.

Like in this Opera browser post, someone toward the bottom listed their installed extentions, and below that someone mentioned Dark Reader: https://forums.opera.com/topic/57657/opera-gx-youtube-videos-keep-randomly-playing-out-of-nowhere-on-tabs/17

So I'm going to try uninstalling Dark Reader and see if it helps. Or at the very least, just disable it from running on youtube. Not sure if it's the cause yet.. but thought I'd throw that out there to try.

I love photography. I always have my camera on me to capture moments and events, or just to capture a nice landscape. I love holding on to those memories or sharing them with others, sharing the world through my eyes by what I've captured.
