For a while I would get web pushes from some new site I just have visited once and accidentally accepted. I had no clue how to disable them for ages until a friend showed me. (Yes I could have looked it up, never reached critical energy) I

You just follow the accounts that post content you like. There are plenty that don't post any faces at all. Hell, it'd be trivial to detect when a face is present in a photo and filter it out. The API doesn't serve ads, so yo

Literally write a script. The scripts other people are paid to write aren't going to help you if you refuse to participate in their profit model. If you want something to exist either finance it or make it. Don't whine that other

The only vehicle sound I notice day to day is the god awful reversing drone of my neighbors Tesla backing into their driveway. I believe this sound was specifically engineered to be as repulsive as possible. Give me a rumbling (muffled) V8

Love the gravity addition, that's a clever trick for dealing with fractional velocity. Pausing rendering when there are no changes is also a nice touch. I notice on my machine the background is initially white and only acquires the gre
