I’ve been looking for a TV for awhile now, and I’ve found that there aren’t really any practical dumb ones. There are a few models, but they’re more expensive and have lower specs, cheaper panels, fewer menu options, etc.

Overall, the smart TVs are going to be cheaper/better because the company plans to make money on target ads, data mining, etc. Just don’t connect it or enter a wi-fi password. Sadly that’s where we’re at now.

Linux has 2 clipboards. You’re mixing the two. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1167856/two-clipboards-possible

OMG, same here. I got tired of buying a new inkjet every 2 years or so. I bought a Brother laser all-in-one 4 yrs ago and haven’t looked back. My only regret was not spending the extra bucks to get a color model.

Yup, just the cheap antenna that came with the TV stick. But it did work with cable before Time Warner / Spectrum switched to cable boxes.

We’ve got an election coming up in 16 months in the US. So I imagine we’ll see a lot of bots registering soon.

Totally.

There was a former reddit mod on here a few days ago talking about how a small percentage of users make most of the posts/comments there. Personally, I’m glad to get away from that.

There may not be much content here, but at least the average person can be heard.

I’m new here just like most other folks, but from what I’ve seen so far is: Lemmy is a place to post links to your content, Peertube is the place to post your videos, Pixelfed is the place to post GIFs and short videos. Lemmy can handle picture uploads, but not much more than that right now.

But none of these instances is going to survive if users don’t donate. All those corporate social media sites were free because you weren’t the customer, you were the product.

I’ve always heard puns were. I don’t believe it though. I mean a good pun is its own reword.

I’ll see myself out.

If you use Ublock Origin, here’s a filter that will hide lemmynsfw posts on your main page. Filters should work the same on all major ad blockers, but I can’t vouch for that.

! 2023-06-21 https://lemmy.world
lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@lemmynsfw.com)

ELI5 explaination:

the first line is just so Ublock can keep different filters and domains organized

lemmy.world## - only use this filter on this site

.post-listing - evaluate everything on the page with the class name post-listing

has-text(lemmynsfw.com) - the text we want to filter

Of course if the site gets updated and the layout changes, this filter won’t work anymore. I’m on VLemmy, so I can’t really test it on lemmyworld. Let me know if it doesn’t work. Cheers.
