Elon: Let the free market decide.

Free Market: *decides*

Elon: Wait, no, not like that

Are your smoke detectors linked to each other? Could be faulty wiring in the circuit, or a completely different smoke detector failing and sending out an alarm that triggers the others. The latter happened in my home when I was growing up: the living room smoke detector kept going off a few seconds before the rest of them would chime in, but it turned out it was the one in the nearest hallway that was failing and sending out bad signals. The living room detector was just the next in the circuit.

It’s like having a corporate seder for rosh hashanah or an eid al-Fitr: guaranteed to go badly.

Good point. Even if they stick within the “rules” the risk of it coming off poorly is too high, same as any cultural-specific holiday.

“The game allows me to do this, that means I’m not an asshole for doing this!” - Every griefer ever.

Fuck yeah Mosquito Genocide crew!

Porn. The porn side of Twitter is still intact and really quite… okay I was gonna say "wholesome" but maybe I should say "holesome"? Ehh? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

…anyway.

That said, a lot of adult content creators have been creating accounts on bsky once they get invites. If bsky opens up more there could actually be an exodus.

I don't think there is one for Samsung TVs unfortunately. I only did it for my Android TV. All I did was install SmartTubeNext and that's it.

Generally I find my Samsung TV pretty insufficient on its own. I keep a Chromecast plugged into it, but a lot of people recommend Android/Google TV boxes since you can use them for casting and installing sideloaded ad-free apps, or even replace the launcher entirely. Walmart's $20 Onn brand Google TV box gets recommended a lot.

Especially when it's the same ad repeated over and over. You know what drove me to finally sideloading an adblocked YouTube app onto my TV? Getting interrupted every 2-3 minutes for the same Coors ad repeated at least once.

Yarr harr fiddle-dee-dee!

There's only one price I'm willing to pay for content with ads, and that's zero.

OP's home instance is the second-worst in terms of questionable defederations (the worst being beehaw). I used to have an account on lemmy.world but stopped using it once they blocked anything even remotely Piracy-related for that exact reasoning you're talking about. Just switched to using this instance and Kbin and problem solved. Worst part was re-subbing to all the communities I'd been following. Pretty painless all things considered.

Defederation has its place but some instances really overuse it.
