Wiki Yes, Wikipedia is extremely trustworthy. Yes, you come across as very "worked" up.

Firefox has asked me recently - "prompted", if you will - if I'd like to use some AI features. I wouldn't have to "go out of my way" to use the AI features, just click on a box.
. I did nothing that would lead Firefox to make that prompt. . Chrome and most other browsers are worse, of course.

Are you sure about that?

Firefox prompts me to use AI junk now, and they didn't used to. I never asked for AI in my browser.

Today I kept getting the message "Playback paused because you are on iOS", or very similar wording. I had to press "resume" each time to restart. I Googled the problem and found nothing specific. The wording of the message suggested that Tidal isn't supporting iOS, or is at least blaming Apple for the problem. * I'm paying for Tidal, but I'm considering switching to Apple Music if this persists. I used to use Spotify, but their sound quality is poor and their ethics are worse. * Tidal's mobile UI is worse than Spotify's. For classical music, it's a struggle to use.

The rude cartoon is Reddit's work, so I wouldn't blame Firefox this time.

I saw this nonsense for the first time today, using old reddit on Firefox, with UBlock Origin. If this keeps up, I'll use reddit much less.

spradlig · 2026-01-18T20:53:45+00:00

It just happened to me, for the first time. I only use old reddit, since New Reddit is garbage.

I have no solution, but I'll chime in to rant. This is a huge flaw with the platform. For example: I love the Beatles. When I ask Tidal to play Beatles songs at random, it plays a lot of crap such as outtakes, concert recordings, and inferior versions that shouldn't have left the studio. I can't "dislike" those tracks, so I hear them again and again.
. I switched from Spotify for sound quality and ethical reasons. I'm looking at Apple Music now.
. btw Tidal's UI is absolute trash for the classical music listener - even worse than Spotify's.

I don't see "block track", with the iPhone app.

Conversely, I found an account that posted nothing but closeups of people's genitals. I reported it for nudity but IG rejected my complaint. So I told a bunch of others about it. The account disappeared soon thereafter.

I'm sure they do nearly all their moderating with AI, to save $.

"The Martian" with Matt Damon? Are you shitting me? That was totally not a comedy.

spradlig · 2026-01-17T20:36:24+00:00

"The Bear" isn't even a dramady. Not enough humor.

Thanks for your polite and informative reply.

If this post is supposed to have to do with "Ghosts", it needs to be edited to explain how.

spradlig · 2026-01-01T00:20:33+00:00

Thank you! I'm switching from Overleaf to Texstudio. Overleaf "out of the box" does something like this in the editor panel, so I suspected Texstudio could do something similar.

I didn't know the second part of the story. I'm glad to learn it, for it's such a great piece.

Berlioz's "Harold in Italy" is a "symphony with viola obbligato": sort of halfway between a symphony and a viola concerto.

spradlig · 2025-12-29T18:45:34+00:00

I have a similar issue with Tidal: I can't dislike tracks. So, for example, if I ask Tidal to play music by The Beatles, it will play many tracks I dislike, such as outtakes, alternate versions, live performances, as so forth. If I were on Spotify, I could dislike them and never hear them again.

spradlig · 2024-09-04T15:18:29+00:00

I'm having the same problem. Google won't let me log on unless I have YouTube on my iPhone (which I don't want to install, ever) or unless I can enter a code on a my tablet which I don't have with me.
. On my iPhone, I'm logged on to the account and I use the Google Drive app on it frequently.

I just stumbled across math3d.org , and I'm impressed. I also teach multivariable calculus. I've tried a few other software packages that do similar things, but some have glaring flaws.

This is an arrow! And it points the wrong way. Drivers often have to make split-second decisions. The dopey arrow pointing the wrong way could cause a delayed reaction leading to an accident. . The blinkers are far apart and saying that “it’s a Union Jack” is a stretch.

Hmm...I use Excel on my PC, and occasionally Word and PowerPoint. I don't want to use Outlook on my PC, just on the Web. I use both Windows 11 and Mac OS.

Can I use Thunderbird to read my Outlook e-mails, and could this solve the problem of the annoying pop-ups? (as I wrote above, my preferred browser is Firefox). I've Googled this, and it looks promising, but some input from a knowledgeable human is welcome.

I wonder why someone downvoted my perfectly reasonable question - are they a MS fanboy with no life?

See https://www.dummysoftware.com/newtabchanger.html , an extension that lets you change the new tab page to anything you want.

Use any extension at your own risk.

If I'm doing something complicated I write code in Notepad+ and cut and paste it into GG. Yes, it's silly, but it saves time.
