Bloody damn pixie
- Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why? 7 months ago:
Why? You’re disappointed with the explanation? Disagree with it? Or you don’t like it’s somewhat informal tone? I thought it was well written, enjoyed the information / humor, and can respect the explanation.
- Comment on Amazon is now automatically playing fullscreen video ads on Fire TV 11 months ago:
You can update the TVs settings to block these new large video ads. However, Amazon is getting more and more intrusive with its ads. I imagine that, similar to the Alexa Shows that I also use, every few weeks they’ll tweak the ads, making your previous “disable this” settings no longer applicable. It’s technically a new ad type, so they can auto enable it again. Super frustrating.
Largely in response to these new autoplay ads, I replaced my Fire TV with an LG TV. I’ve got another LG TV from only a few years ago that doesn’t really have ads. This one… does. Damn it. Don’t get me wrong, they’re much less in-your-face when compared to Amazon’s ads. But, damn, does everything just have to be ads now?
