Maybe journalists are acting in their own interests. Trump appears to be very hostile to journalists who are critical of him. Freedom of the press is their livelihood.


It's crazy that I have to worry about being sued for pointing out a mistake.


Signed into FB from Chrome (version 47) from my MacBook (Mavericks).

It was 6am and I had my earbuds in and I could tell they turned on. They didn't turn off until a few minutes after I logged off.

I went to YouTube just to check. A few minutes after I closed my YouTube tab, I could hear the audio disengage.

I'm wondering if it's connected to FB autoplay videos, but those have no sound.


Just did the same test and I'd say it's auto play videos.

(same setup - current Chrome / current OS X)

I turned on auto play videos, killed the browser, waited for my headphones to turn off and went back into FB - scrolled down and when a video came into view, the headphones turned on.

Even though the video might have no sound, the html 5 video element still needs to allow sound to pass through. When videos auto play without side, it's not that the video doesn't have sound; it's just that the video has been muted until you click on it.

(speculation of course; I don't work for FB)

There are lots of other sources for this type of information. Ta-Nehisi Coates has a comprehensive explanation in his Atlantic article "The Case for Reparations." Inflammatory title (also long), but well researched.

Isn't this also called the "soft bigotry of low expectations."



I laughed earlier, but I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I just thought it was cool that you were going to go forward with it.


Thanks! You're probably right about the icon. LOL
