How does this game compares with other Elder Scroll games? Is it grindy?
Just pass the pdf file into an OCR.
In the past few years, a huge proportion of posts that made it to the front page are same stuff reposted over and over again. Maybe it's good to have a fresh start.
Not surprising as the internet archive got into trouble and bad press during pandemic because it allowed unlimited ebook landing. They probably can't afford getting sued anymore by the same publishers.
Unlike regular TVs, this TV has a dedicated screen attached at the bottom that show nothing but ads, so it's not comparable with showing ads in a show. They'll be showing ads at the bottom of the show, constantly, like an ad banner in a website.
LG TVs seems to have ads too: https://lgads.tv/
What's your specific TV model? I've been looking for 4K TV without ads and can't find anything good.
The TV cost would probably be paid off in a year with just $1 worth of ads per day. If they earn, say, $5/1000 impressions of ads (which is a bit on the low side for US citizens' eyeballs), they'll just need to show you 200 ads per day to earn $1 just from ad impressions. Assuming the TV is on about 8 hours per day, that's just 1 ads every 2.5 minutes.
They'll probably show more ads than this, and have deals with smart tv app makers to install their apps in the smart tv, and collect and sell customer profile data in the ad market as well, so I think it's not hard to imagine they can profit from the TV, as long as they run the service competently.
From their website:
Now, all smart TVs come with ads. But you still pay for the TV. All of that changes today. During the signup process we ask questions about you and your household to optimize your ad experience. Brands in turn, pay for the non-intrusive ad on the Smart Screen. That’s how you get Telly free. Plain and simple. It's time you got cut in on the deal.
They do have a point though. Is there any smart TV maker that don't put ads on their TV?
Meh, your TV cost money while this TV is free, have an extra screen (for ads) and have built-in camera and microphone too! All I need to do is to connect it 24/7 to internet. Such a great deal! No one would give free TV to me, except probably my brother, so you could probably say the company is like a big brother to me.

This seems to be the easiest solution. Use the provided docker-compose file, then configure traefik to route requests to your lemmy domain to port 8536. How to do that depends on how you currently run traefik as there are multiple ways to configure it. Could be as simple as adding a label to the service named
proxyin lemmy's docker-compose file.
