    Don’t really get why you got downvoted. Probably someone still using an old 32" HD Ready screen warning 480p content saying it’s fine and they don’t see the difference anyway.

    Modern TVs do upscaling, so anything lower res you watch on a 4K or 8K screen will get upscaled a bit. Watching crappy quality stuff on a 4K tv will get blown up enough for you to really see a difference compared to a lower def tv.

    That said, it’s really no use looking at just the resolution. Most likely, an 8K TV will have a panel that is just better overall quality (depending on the brand, of course). You’ll have better HDR, most likely it’s gonna be 12 bit colour, the contrast ratio will be excellent, it might even have decent sound. It’s just gonna be an overall high end TV. Apps will run more smoothly because it’s likely they fitted it with a decent processor. The image processing engine is just better because it’ll have to be. Again, unless it’s a cheapo brand that only focused on the 8K of it and left the rest on the table.

    It probably won’t really justify paying triple what you’d pay for a decent 4K TV but there’s gotta be early adopters, otherwise we’ll stay on the current gen forever.














  • You can just browse all or browse all of your instance (the Portuguese lemmy?).

    The pro vs reddit is that it’s federated. This means that every lemmy instance can have its own rules, communities and members, but they can interact with other lemmy instances (for example, I’m from lemmy.world) as long as the home instance allows connecting to that lemmy instance.

    It works similarly to reddit, but there is no one company controlling it all. You could start your own instance today and federate with any instance you like. The user count is a lot lower, as you might expect, but you’ll still get a decent amount of content through actual users, but also a lot of bots posting news to specific communities.

    I use Boost for Lemmy, it used to be a reddit client. It also gives you the option to block or mute users, communities or entire instances. For me, this means I can subscribe to stuff I’m really interested in but just use all for scrolling through the lemmyverse.
