It started off okay and then wow did it take an abrupt turn.

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

Update: just logged in and this appears to be fixed now.

Fuck yeah Mosquito Genocide crew!

Sterling and Yahtzee did a few literal road trips together even.

Almost, but needs a few tweaks:

• Content should be border-to-border in the 2000 panel.

• Needs to be 3 lines of content in 2010 and only two lines of content in 2018.

• 2018 needs a slide-over autoplay video on the bottom-left of the content space.

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.

Update: It’s back as of now. Still curious what caused it to go down to begin with.

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.

Weird Al still wholesome after all these years.

Old and busted: Kirkland Vodka 1.75l

New hotness: [No-Intro] Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (Headerless) (20230731-053300)

This is my headcanon and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

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.

Depends on what counts as “better”.

Better quality? WAV, since it’s lossless.

Better efficiency? OGG (well, Vorbis) since it compresses pretty well, but you’ll still get a (minor) loss in quality.

That said, both of those formats are old news and should only be used if you have weird, specific compatibility needs. For lossy compression, OGG/Vorbis has been succeeded by Opus; it’s what YouTube uses, compresses fantastically, and is supported by damn near everything. For lossless, FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is still the gold standard: you can reduce file sizes by as much as 60% with literally zero loss in quality. If you can, use one of those.

This just feels like a repeat of Rural Electrification: yeah it’s expensive and not immediately profitable, but we’re at the point where it’s necessary to be a part of modern society.

I’ll be blunt: the fact that they’re opposing it makes me even more supportive of it.

Yeah, that’s been a thing in RPGs and FPS-RPGs consistently for several decades. Fallout 3 and New Vegas, most of the Borderlands series, The Division 2 all spring to mind.

RTF is a rarity these days since basically every phone, tablet, and other handheld device can handle either PDFs or HTML (and ePub is basically just a ZIP file with HTML in a specific naming scheme and structure). Back in the day though you’d find RTFs more often for use in budget/jury-rigged eReader options. It’s much easier to parse, if nothing else.
