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

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.

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.

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.

At this point I expect Reddit to go full Wells Fargo and start creating multiple accounts for users, just to impress investors with growth numbers.

Thanks. I never tried Pixelfed, but from what I could get from their homepage, they don’t support mp4.

I’m not on Mastodon, but have some friends who are. I’ll ask them about it.
