I did this with both reddit and YouTube on my phone. That's how I beat the doom scrolling loop. On Android for YT, I've installed the NewPipe app which can be configured to show no suggestions. I just have a list of app level subs

I half read that but didn't absorb it fully. I wonder what about a ROM matches the signature of malware.

Wow I did not know that. I agree. It's not a very robust solution, but it's better than nothing at all . And it's annoying sometimes. One thing I found is that it somehow forces Google safe-search, which appears to block some

There is an Asimov story called "Someday" in which a toy computer called a Bard generates random fairy tales and reads them to children. In the story two children try to hack their Bard, to make it tell more interesting modern sto

I wonder how the results of an AI Japanese-audio-to-English-subtitles would compare to a fansub-ed anime. I'm guessing it would be a more literal translation vs. contextual or cultural. I found an interesting article about trollsubs, w

It's a funny coincidence, the game of life computer reminded me of the human computer they built in the book "Three Body Problem", and your comment uses the term "grok" from the book "Stranger in a Strange Land
