Running VLV on Chromecast with Google TV sometimes gives you issues with audio codecs if you want audio output through Bluetooth. Not sure whether this is OP's problem but it happens.

 

Holly Patrick @ The Independent:

The OceanGate CEO believed to be missing on board a Titanic exploration submersible described how the vessel was “built with camping” parts and operated with a “game controller” in a resurfaced video.

In November 2022, Stockton Rush told CBS the Titan craft was built with “off-the-shelf components.”

Pointing at parts of the vessel, Mr Rush said: “We can use these off-the-shelf components. I got these from Camping World.

“We run the whole thing with this game controller,” he added, picking up a gamepad.

Reporter David Pogue said pieces of the submersible seemed “improvised,” but Mr Rush told him the vessel would be “safe” even if parts didn’t work.

Mr Rush is believed to be among the five-person crew aboard the craft.

Check out Prop and Seek

It's a hide and seek game in a FPS / CS-like environment.

@MothraCultist shared the website www.rateyourmusic.com in another thread the other day. I spent some time there and found it quite helpful to find new albums and see their community ratings.

I think one needs to see the bigger picture here. The protest that started earlier this week might not have left a big dent in reddit yet. What it did though is raise attention and increase awareness for alternative news/content aggregators like kbin. They're not anywhere close to competing with reddit yet but the door got opened.

The shortsighted reddit politics basically helped to kickstart their own future competitors. If we do our best here and bring in good content, comment and get past only consuming there will be a real chance to become more appealing than reddit in the long run. I'm definitely here to stay.

Adidas - Because our founder's full name sounds inappropriate

 

How do we pronounce Kbin?

Is it pronounced like 'Cabin' or rather 'KayBin'? I feel like a lot of us don't know.

I've been on reddit for more than a decade and it was my social network. Not FB, not IG, not Twitter. I must have visited almost daily and I learned about so many thing that I would have not come across otherwise.

What's happening there right now is more than sad but I'm definitely feeling the excitement of a fresh start. Consuming less and contributing more, checking out magazines that I have never hear of before and mainly helping to build a new community.

Thank you for the warm welcome here!
