Whats the difference between cheap and expensive modern TVs?
I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don’t know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?

What do you think of Just Stop Oil?
My Views: I would love it if Solar, Hydro and Wind and other renewable sources of energy + Non Renewable Nuclear were to provide enough energy reliably to completely replace fossil fuels, but I know it’s not a feasible solution at least at this point. And maybe it will never be. Renewable sources of energy are highly dependent...

Which filesystem is generally recognized across all current operating systems?

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...

Firefox based qutebrowser alternatives
I played a bit with qutebrowser recently and I love it’s keyboard driven nature but it is based on QtWebEngine which is based on Chromium and I want something based on Firefox.

Cloud storage for encrypted backups recommendations
Hi! I’m looking for a good cloud storage provider for my backups. I will encrypt them locally and rclone them, so integration is important. I’ve been looking through reddit, and every single provider has something behind their ears (closes accounts, scans files, sketchy, blah blah blah), so I’m having a bit of an analysis...
App or method to easily migrate apps + media to a new phone?

Best options for Non-Google cloud storage as of 2022?
What are Lemmy’s feelings about the best cloud storage options these days, if you really want to break into the 1-2TB range? I’m not there yet, probably not even halfway there, but I like the peace of mind of potentially having the space if I need it. And I think subscribing to something in the Netflix price range is maybe...

How does GoodRx make money?

Any alternatives to calibre?
Calibre is pretty decent but it’s slow and buggy and bloated. Plus it’s pajeetware so there’s another reason not to use it. What alternatives do you recommend?

Are we seriously calling medicinal cannabis "plant medicine" now and trying to hide what it actually is?
Saw an ad on YouTube for this service saying something like “if you’ve experienced chronic pain for a long time with no improvement, “plant medicine” might be right for you.”. So I checked it out. The website continually says “plant medicine” and doesn’t specify at all wtf that actually means. Until I saw wording...
