So the only way to opt out of this hell is to kill your internet connection?

No. It’s actually simple to disable. On the Roku TV just go to:

Settings > Privacy > Select Smart TV Experience and disable “Use Info from TV Inputs”

Millennials weren’t alive when this was made 😂

You think there weren’t any millennials alive in 1992? lol

Instead of being an ass, why don’t you explain how this is in any shape or form a useful time capsule?

No. I never made that claim so I have no obligation to defend it to some random dipshit on the internet.

Yeah, I understood this asinine point just fine the first time, thanks.

Yes. And?

It’s a silly little thing a kid’s TV network did 31 years ago for kids. Calm down.

CDs, including Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ’Em by MC Hammer

Nice.

Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.

Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.

Oh, this one? Pendulum. Honestly! (Not Pendulum and I’ve never learned who actually did it but I have a cool unknown track in my collection

I think every millennial has at least one napster/limewire era “white whale” song. It was awesome and you’d try to determine who actually performed it for years without ever figuring it out. Mine was a punk song listed as Dropkick Murphys but all I know for certain is it definitely was not them. No lyric searches have ever pulled up a match despite the fact that every few years I’d try again on a whim.

My best guess is that it was probably a late '90s band that never had much of a following beyond whatever local music scene they came from and someone uploaded it from a demo they picked up at a show.

Yep, life was simpler back when there were only six or seven bands on the internet. Vaguely punk sounding? Well that’s obviously Blink-182. Punk but with bagpipes? Dropkick Murphys. Dude with an acoustic guitar? Oh that’s Dave Matthews Band.

I still remember how annoyed I was when reddit disabled that. It was a useful data point, especially in hobby communities or other places where it can be difficult for newbies to judge the quality of advice/answers they’re receiving so I was thrilled to see it here on Lemmy. Going by upvotes alone is not always showing you an accurate picture of a community’s reaction to a comment.

lol Jesus tap dancing christ.

None of which work anymore.

Edit: Again, downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.
