@mcc@mastodon.social I think you can shut it off.
YouTube / Profile / Settings / Playback and Performance.
In the Browsing category, there's an option for Video Previews. You can toggle it off.
No joke - that toggle has never worked for me except when I was about to write a snarky post about it.
Hopefully, it works for everyone else.
A post Halloween old time radio show made in 1947 about a man who is hexed by his rival. He starts going mad until he finds the one thing he absolutely needs to survive: someone who believes him.
@GottaLaff What Laffy is saying ... By shrugging your shoulders and saying "are you surprised?", you are contributing to a permission structure for this behavior.
The more people shrug at corruption, the more they embolden it. Nothing makes a criminal happier than seeing apathy about their crimes.
Shadowdark is a love letter to first edition D&D and definitely worth your time.

On days like today, social media is really just a bad idea for mental health.
Wishing the best for everyone.

@christmastree@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social Yeah, I have no faith it's a workable solution. For some reason, Google values the act of torturing their end users. :)

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I did this at best buy a months ago. I ordered a network switch for pickup. When I got there, I was like, "I'm just picking up a switch I ordered online."
They looked the inventory and were like, "sorry, we don't have any switches on hold here."
I felt like an idiot. "Yeah, I meant network switch."
Here's a strange story I wrote about a person finding salvation at the end of the gun. It's not grimdark. It's more a musing on loneliness and exploitation.
Three Skeleton Key is an old time radio episode about a boat that crashes on a lighthouse, and releases a torrent of flesh eating rats (republican rats, obviously) on the occupants.
Give it a listen to break up your doom-scrolling with some doom listening. (It's a great episode).
Free to listen and download (no account needed).

@ivory@tapbots.social Do you have a client for Bluesky in the works? Ivory was great but I rarely use Mastodon these days.
