Well it happened to me mostly in technology communities where my job as a police man in a country without too much corruption was giving me a different point of view than people who were seeing a corrupt government spying on them all the time.

Yeah to be honest it’s true that I’ve only seen lefties. I’m sometimes on the left side and sometimes on the right side, but it’s crazy how you can’t really express an opinion without being insulted or other things…

I don’t see in what way having a PSN account would make Horizon Zero Dawn safer on PC.

But I also wouldn’t mind so much if the few PC games I’d buy from Sony were linked to my PSN account as I’ve been a Playstation gamer since the first console.

Still, I wouldn’t want every publisher to require an account to play…

Yeah there are clearly some toxic people who won’t tolerate anything different than them. They can be leftists or rightists who are gonna hate you for whatever reason.

I didn’t have this feeling on reddit to be honest.

And it’s a shame because I’m censoring myself because of this on some subject where I could bring another point of view.

I’ve played through the normal game and the expansion. I loved the universe, but the gameplay isn’t so great to be honest.

Also I often struggled with dialogues, selecting one sentence and not understanding why I’d have to kill everyone around after making this choice (Maman Brigitte for instance). But this might be just me😇

I recommend playing these games and I’ll play both at least twice.

That’s so true and that’s why I’m getting tired of open world games and really trying to space them evenly with a few « normal » games inbetween.

I kind of miss linear games.

You can’t compare turning the volume control knob in your car to writing an SMS on an old keyboard phone

Well with a touch screen you have to look at what you’re doing.

With physical buttons, you don’t have to since they have a shape.

Are you looking at your keyboard while typing on your computer? Now try not looking while typing on your phone 🤓

Well we can use computers, consoles and TV’s which are 15 years old everyday and still connected to the internet.

I know it’s not doable right now, but I think we should change the way we consume and get rid of technology.

And I’m not talking about a car that you can use for way more than 15 years reliably.

My Playstation 3 has had a dead battery for years. Except asking me for the date every time I turn it on and asking me to reconnect to the PSN manually, I don’t see any inconvenience.

I don’t think there would be any advantage in stopping yearly releases.

I think individuals should stop buying new phones often and that you should still be able to use a 15 year old phone just like you can use a 15 year old computer without security risks (with Linux).

That’s what the system or laws should encourage.

Well judging from what you see on Lemmy a lot of people would be willing to pay. What’s missing on Peertube is the ability for a creator to lock his videos behind a paywall in a « you wanna watch? Pay me » way.

Nick from the Linux Experiment was explaining that he was making something like 0.02 Euros per view on Youtube and that people supporting him directly were bringing so much more without being at the mercy of an algorithm.

Supporting him for 1 Euro a month is fine with the amount of what I’m watching from him on Peertube, paying 5 dollars a month to watch everything Linus Tech Tips produces on Floatplane is a bit too much for me…

Yeah YouTube is not possible to avoid.

I really hope that one day we’ll have another platform where you can just pay 2$ per month to every channel you subscribe to and all the great YouTubers open an alternative channel on that platform.

For now PeerTube and Odysee look like the best alternatives…

After looking a bit into Patreon, Peertube, Floatplane, Nebula, Rumble, Odysee and Dailymotion, I find it crazy that even when you’re willing to pay, all the good content is the one that you can watch for free on YouTube (with a few exceptions of course).

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.

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 😅

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 😇

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.

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.
