How does this work if the TV is never connected to the Internet?

If you click the link, it takes you to an article you can read.

I’ve tried several of these and Open Video Downloader worked the best for me. You might get rate limited & temp blocked if you try to download very long playlists.

Downvoted. Post a link to the article, not an image of the title.

I really wish mods would remove these garbage posts.

Ebay is similarly unethical as FB. https://apnews.com/article/ebay-settlement-d0886f1036e198f77669707db9fe1f2b

That’s only one example of the shit they’ve pulled. For several years now, they pretty much give buyers free rein to scam sellers.

I have never noticed any problem with lemmy.ml.

Block all the low-quality meme/image content if lemmy feels tiring. Stop consuming garbage.

I’m finding that Ecosia works better than Google for many things.

SMP (SM Player) seems better than MPV, and even VLC in various ways.

“Never” is ridiculous.

Ignore the cat pic? Why did you add it?

That’s a nonsensical response.

The more engaging and interesting posts will naturally float to the top

This is not true. We have a decade of evidence showing that what floats to the top is the easiest to digest content - meme images.

I’m sure you’re noticing, you don’t have many people who agree with you.

Yep. Most people are unintelligent and thus love their low-quality content. Thankfully, the Lemmy devs decided to build a filter that’s coming with the next update.

Am I? What is it that we’re both doing?

No thanks. All I need to do is wait for the next Lemmy update. Then I’ll be able to block all the low-quality garbage.

Reposts, not articles themselves. Reposting someone else’s writings from the web as a link is objectively low-effort work that could be handled by a dozen-line script.

I don’t know what you’re referring to. Copy-pasting content instead of linking directly to the source is frowned on for numerous reasons.

a general-purpose forum. I go to Lemmy/Reddit to ask a question (e.g. how to repair a thing), voice an opinion, start a debate, talk about stuff, read comics, etc.

Sure, that’s a secondary and perfectly valid use. The OP of this thread posted an image promoting memes. That is what I criticized.

discussion posts, memes, photos

These are not remotely equal. Low-quality, mindless meme content rots your brain. You should stop consuming it and start downvoting it.

Calling articles “lazy content” is extremely unintelligent. I’m disgusted that you should say that.

The “original content” you refer to is often screenshots of social media posts and reposted memes.

Do you want lemmy to become a parasitic platform depending on content from elsewhere to sustain itself?

This is such a bizarre thing to say. Reddit and Lemmy are link/news aggregators. Their whole benefit is being a single site where people can share & discuss news, instead of having to visit a dozen different websites every day. Reddit started to promote low-quality meme content, which massively degraded the quality of the platform. It’s extremely disappointing to see people on Lemmy promoting it as well.

Low-quality, mindless meme content, yes. It rots your brain. You should stop consuming it.

I can’t wait for Lemmy v0.20 so we can block this garbage.

Now that Bing is better than Google in a lot of cases. Perhaps forcing people to use it helped them catch up.

That’s the opposite of power tripping. This belongs on a “fedi drama” sub, not this one.
