@jeremydebose You probably used the defaults command to alter the behavior of Safari.

Open Terminal and enter this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1

This will expose Safari's "Debug" menu. Under that debug menu, go to Media Flags, and then check if Disallow Inline Video is checked. This will stop videos from automatically playing when a page loads. Uncheck it and see if autoplay returns.

@karlykingsley.bsky.social @MaryAustinBooks I too was shocked at how pathetic of a march (and parade) that was. Putin must have been laughing his ass off. The lines weren’t straight, left/right was not coordinated. It looked so amateurish. It was so bad I wondered if these were actors? Silent protest would be amazing if true.

@richardgrant @renewedresistance @tchambers That’s a beautiful sight!

@WarnerCrocker this is why I’ve never bothered to request my data be deleted or used a service to have data deleted. I’m fairly certain that they don’t delete anything. I try to give up as little information as possible but true privacy is virtually a dead concept. We trusted the government with our data and now Palantir has it all.

@coffeegeek 100%. When I was kid, I’d buy a new album, take it home and play it over and over on cheap Sears headphones. Music was and is so important to me. I promised myself then, that when I grew up, I’d have a quality audio set up. In 1988 I bought my first system. It wasn’t esoteric by any stretch but it sounded so good compared to anything I’d ever owned. Today I have an even nicer setup. Music becoming devalued and listening becoming a background activity is a loss for everyone.

@Em0nM4stodon I would like dumb cars to become popular again. You know, cars that the owner had to drive. Cars that didn’t collect mountains of data about you. Cars with knobs and buttons!

That may not be what you were looking for.

My neighbor's goofy cat George. He's a total love bug who craves human attention. He saw me in the back yard and came running over so we both hung out in the sun and soaked up some rays.

Look who I captured this morning! I’ve been observing a Barred Owl roosting on our patio at night. I am fairly certain it’s hanging out down there to pick off the song birds who sleep under the deck at night. That’s a grim thought but I am so excited to have caught it in the daylight watching me from its vantage point in a hickory tree. I was able to get this shot from the deck which put me at eye level.

#uspol it’s as if the United States has been taken over by a private equity firm. First they run it into the ground and then sell off the parts.

@Catlynn what a privilege! I watched a nest of barred owls fledge several years ago.
Here is one of the fuzzy bowling pins venturing out of the nest for the first time.

It’s hard to get anything done like this but I sure as hell am not moving this adorable boy.

Happy #caturday everyone. This is Rigby’s bartering service where he trades puffballs for treats. He will pick one out, often his favorite blue one, and proceed to announce his decision loudly as he carries it through the house to the office. The crying continues until he drops the puffball at which time he will tap my arm to alert me to the gift he has brought me. My role is to heap tons of praise on Rigby and reward him with a treat (or two).

I almost forgot #caturday! Earlier this week my wife finish crocheting a throw. As soon as she went to bed Tigger hopped up and laid down on it.

He seemed quite proud of the bed mom made for him. He slept there all night.
