UBlock helps to stop that script.

Would that be by default, or do I need to enable something specific

The “AI” help boils down to humans asking it to find patterns?

“Initiatives like developer verification, mandatory pre-review checks, and testing requirements have raised the bar for the Google Play ecosystem, significantly reducing the paths for bad actors to enter,” the company’s blog post explained, adding that its “AI-powered, multi-layer protections” have been “discouraging bad actors from publishing malicious apps.”

Google noted it now runs over 10,000 safety checks on every app it publishes and continues to recheck apps after publication. The company has also integrated its latest generative AI models into the app review process, which has helped human reviewers find more complex malicious patterns faster. Google said it plans to increase its AI investments in 2026 to stay ahead of emerging

I think they meant the physical device

They can be a bit pricy if you’re young and on a budget.

If you’re trying to read on your phone only, I’d recommend these apps:

• Readest: The app is on both mobile and desktop, it’s a nice experience, and it’s free/ open source. I found it to be stable but I’ve seen comments about bugs: https://github.com/readest/readest
• Moon Reader: It’s paid / proprietary, but well known and customizable: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Moon%2B&hl=en-US

As for sourcing the files

• see if your library does any digital lending
• check out free sources like Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive

Some comments brought up a home server, but you don’t really need that if you’re starting out with the hobby and it’s just for yourself. That’s more for managing large libraries of books and access by many users.

It’s spam

Unfortunately a lot of parental controls aren’t that helpful, and they’re more of an afterthought

I agree with parenting in general though

I’d love it if platforms would implement a toggle to switch from infinite scroll to pagination

I’ll take it 😌

Meh, I’d rather let this copypasta be forgotten. It turns cool points into “bad” ones while exaggerating the rest. For example, it’s COOL that this animal evolved specialized digestive organs to process a food in a biological niche that other animals can’t exploit. There’s great variety among animal brain shapes / textures, and having such a complex brain doesn’t guarantee that all humans are that “smart”. Other animals are also sedentary or sleep a lot (sloths, cats) and this is seen as being efficient. Other animals also do things that are pretty gross when viewed through a human lens.

On top of all that, it feels like justification for everything humans are doing to endanger the population.

Nice username 😄

Does anyone have the original photos of each, especially the second one?

How do I know if it’s a big or small grape?

Have you read the body of that article you keep linking to?

I’m not saying that it proves that there aren’t any concerns, but that particular article says the opposite of what you are implying

@[email protected], I’m seeing some reports on this post that this is a meme / shitpost (screenshots from a TV show) and not actually a photo. It’s possible you aren’t seeing those reports due to cross-instance moderation issues

I remember seeing articles about people leaving their doors open or windows down in places with lots of smash and grabs

It feels like being back on the playground

“nuh uh, my laser is 1000% more powerful”

“oh yea, mine is googleplex googolplex percent more powerful”

This is so detailed, especially the ISP bit. Thank you!

I find it odd, but a lot of newer users on Reddit go with the default suggested username and those follow the word-word-0000 template.

At the same time, it might be better for privacy to do that since it’s less likely that someone can track you across platforms if you use the generator built into each platform.
