Why does the search/replace option to use "Current selection only" refuse to stick?

I feel like the software in constantly working against me. Is there a way to tell it to never unselect an option until I tell it to?

Can you speak to the reason why most streamers do not have the ability to truly FF and RR? As in being able to scan the video smoothly to find something without skipping over chunks of video.

I can effectively do it in my DVR and in Kodi, but streamers seem to nerf this ability and we accept this regression.

Just wondered if there was a legitimate reason they don't want users to have this ability.

Thanks!

"Musk did not, however, show how the tracking of his movements led to the incident. More importantly, he ignores the basic fact that freely available flight-tracking websites are a key tool of researchers, journalists, and activists" and have been used "to track Russian oligarchs and other corrupt interests" as well as "monitor military and political activity of public interest. Would he have these opportunities disappear?"

Elon Musk's lamentable reversal on his own free speech agenda

Breaching a prior commitment not to do so, Tesla/Twitter CEO Elon Musk has banned a Twitter account that tracked his private jet. He is also threatening a hopeless legal action against the account's creator. Musk is thus showing hypocrisy on a matter supposedly dear to his heart: free speech.
