Exactly, that's their tracking parameter. I like to remove them because, for whatever reason, I find it odd for Google to know that you are the one sharing a video with me.
I like sharing that info with you! 😉

Absolutely cannot imagine
The problem:
Standard too high, will see a comic I want to share and won’t get around to it because there’s work involved…. yeah I should figure out how to code
Both a house and a golf ball are unbelievably tiny compared to the size of the Earth. The idea that you can shrink the Earth many thousands of times over and be able to feel a house parallels with our ability to feel micro imperfections on knife blades.
My goodness we’re gonna be MAGA’d so hard*, can’t wait

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.

A user asks Bing/Copilot chat to summarize an invented article:
[User] summarize
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/29/us/dinosaurs-found-roaming-playground.html
Copilot
The article from The New York Times reports a surprising and amusing incident where life-sized dinosaur replicas were found roaming a playground in a small town. These realistic models, part of a local museum's exhibit, were accidentally released due to a security malfunction. The sight of dinosaurs in the playground caused quite a stir among the residents, especially the children, who were both thrilled and startled. The museum has since apologized and retrieved the dinosaurs, ensuring such an incident won't happen again. The event has sparked a lot of local interest and laughter, turning into a memorable story for the community[1].
Note this is problematic for a number of reasons including someone who wants to summarize a real article/thread won’t be informed an accurate summary may be impossible.

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.

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

“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.
Source
>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."

Edit 2: OK it’s not this guy but I’ll leave it as it was; original edit below:
>Jonathan Steven Ferguson is a British firearm historian and author who is currently the Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, England.

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.

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

A seating chart for an "8 HOUR FLIGHT" with the text "PICK YOUR SEAT" at the top. The chart is composed of 10 numbered seats, each occupied by a different famous Republican politician or public figure, or the devil. Each number represents a seat, and each seat is either adjacent to or between one or two different individuals.
