Yeah but using a YouTube client would feel a bit dishonest to me as you’re still using Youtube in the end😇

I’ll look more into Patreon as I didn’t know you could have videos directly on it.

I’m just using it to listen to the Linuux Experiment podcast.

It was working okay until 2-3 weeks ago, but there were always a few disconnection issues or the mouse would take time to be detected on startup.

The Surface Kernel was an improvement over the stock kernel, but it never really solved everything.

If I go back to wired, I’ll just reverse to the stock kernel.

Well I clearly know that wired is way more reliable and efficient for a lot of things. I’d never charge my phone without a wire for instance.

Still I’m happy to have wifi at home or wireless controllers for my Playstation 5.

Depending on how your home is set up, it can be awful to have cables everywhere.

Yeah reddit is often appearing in my search results when I look for something and I don’t mind looking at Reddit posts that way, even if I’m not interacting anymore.

It’s true that you have a lot of pretentious and non open minded people on Lemmy. Of course if you just say that Linux isn’t useful, I can’t blame them for telling you politely the contrary 😅

I guess I’ll go with a second hand wired mouse but I don’t like that I’m giving up on bluetooth on Linux. It feels like something which should be a given.

The same Microsoft Mobile Mouse works perfectly with my MacBook Pro 2012 with Fedora on it..

A lot of negligible things added together can make a lot.

My computers are perfectly up to date by just running the software update manager while using them.

But of course, being veggie, not having kids, biking or walking has a bigger impact than just turning off your computer.

As I have two lovely kids and my work involves a lot of car travel, I can’t blame you for not turning off your computer though 😇

[–] Dariusmiles2123 2 points 3 weeks ago

Okay in such a case I understand why these machines shouldn’t be turned off.

But, for normal people using their computers for admin/gaming, I still think it’s one of the easy ways of saving a bit of energy.

I’ve migrated from Reddit last year, and I can tell you that these results make me appreciate Lemmy even more.

It’s the same as Reddit but without any advertising 🥰

Now it would be nice to have nore communities outside of tech related ones.

[–] Dariusmiles2123 6 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Why would they be idiots for wanting to turn these computers off?

If the computers aren’t running something important while not in use, I think they should turn them off as we’re already wasting far too much energy.

I might be missing something, but it sounds like leaving your car running or leaving lights on in your home the whole year.

I feel like it’s such a waste of energy when powering off your computer when you’re not using it is so easy.

What I find crazy is that on Playstation you got Gran Turismo in 2022 I think and there’ll be no other concurrent until Asseto Corsa Evo in probably 2026.

I’ve already so many hours of going around the Ring in GT7, but I’d really h’love an extension with a new career mode and new trophies until Asseto Corsa Evo.

Well the magic of a remake is that you can still poay the old game if you’re not happy with it😅
