- Comment on Why are fake laughs added to sitcoms? 22 hours ago:
It’s not added to an existing piece (or play) but written with the kind, length and ibtntensity of laughter. There are videos with the laugh tracks removed where you can see the small breaks of the cast waiting for the laugh track to stop. Not just is there a timing difference with and without the laugh track, no, jokes themselves work differently. Meaning: without a laugh track you might not be able to tell joke from serious because the guide is missing allowing to laugh (e.g. about the misery, clumsiness, idiocy, etc of a character). Sitcoms without laugh tracks expect compassion to do its magic and is probably much more closely tied to cultural context of the work. Nobody has to tell you what’s funny with Malcolm in the Middle or The Office, you know, because you once experienced (or observed) similar.

I think you can spoof per tab/container. i used an exclusive Firefox Profile for the bad/contaminated (read: not privacy respecting) browsing - in there i’d ocasionally switch the UserAgent to make Teams calls.
there’s no way i’d work on a machine with M$ spyware installed and always running

You can make it work by changing your UserAgent string (there’s plugins for that) to some older chrome version to make things work.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 5 months ago:
Google does not display the same results for the same queries among different users, they display highly personalized stuff. Web search sadly has become almost unusable when you opt for anonymized use of the internet
