reddit annoyance

Posted on December 30, 2006 by Nathan Powell

I really hate it when reddit posts are to videos that auto play when opened. I kind of lost my cool and threw a fit the other day when it happened again, and I had 12 tabs opened and one of them was blaring something. People there refuse to add the [video] tag to title…so whatever, I can’t change their behavior as much as I would like to…Added this to my /etc/rc.local


amixer set Master 0%

That will stop 99% of the times when I accidentally leave my sound on from home but don’t want it on when I reboot.

What I would really like to do is use a greasemonkey script to warn, or turn off videos that load in tabs…but that will do for now.

    Yeah, you should check out Digg. It’s far better. ;)
