Streaming services are becoming increasingly fragmented, prices are increasing admist an inflationary environment, their service sucks.

But hey, online piracy is increasing, what a surprise!

let's make the threshold $60 instead of $600

lemmy really needs a way for users to individually block instances

That's interesting, I never thought this would be a feature that someone would want.

For desktops, standby totally makes sense. But for a laptop that's meant to be carried around and runs on battery, I'm willing to bet in majority of use-cases, sleeping when closing the lid makes sense for the following reasons:

1. Closing the lid usually means the user is packing it up and moving the laptop - in which case things like downloads won't be reliable if you're constantly moving out of wifi networks

2. Again, if the user is moving the laptop, preserving battery life is important.

3. Some laptops are designed so their airflow works best when open, so heat may be an issue. Not to mention you runt he risk of users putting it in their bag and then the laptop overheating.

Of course its possible to detect when the laptop is plugged in vs not plugged in, but ultimately it just seems like your use-case is in the minority, so there isn't much support for it - anyone who's determined enough will find a way to disable sleep when the lid is closed like you did.

one workaround is to perhaps set the screen to turn off after 5 minutes, and you can keep the laptop plugged in without closing the lid? The screen probably draws the most energy when idle - when you're plugged in I'm willing to bet the energy consumption of a laptop with its screen turned off is pretty minimal.

When you finally block the bot those communities disappear as the bot is the only active user.

And that's why the bot exists

he's a crazy guy

You shoulda just secretly did a few orders everyday and then took 3 hours off. If they don't appreciate productivity, take it as a sign that you should slow down and chill.

i wonder why this works.

lose a dollarydoo to save a centarydoo.

of what community?

worse, they're just removing stuff now (like microsd support)

Oh god i hate open offices.

i just blocked beehaw communities because i don't want to accidentally get into a discussion there. If they want to isolate themselves, that's fine, they can exist as their own little thing.

good for them.

we need a WorkReform sub in here.

Corporate life 101.

did not expect this from the EU.

It's being fixed in the next lemmy update (not just the app), which I heard should be coming next week.

awesome, thanks!

Yeah. I can't code but I can follow instructions to compile an app and add my own API key. But given everything that's happened I sure as hell am not going to bother.

You gotta do it!

I like my spice, but too much of it and it overwhelms everything else. Gotta have a balance.

BRB gonna write a new TV series based on this

I admire the work you're doing for the blind community. You're a hero!

That, or long-range wireless charging.

it's still closed, but the admins might unilaterally force it open.

Yeah I'm surprised. better late than never.

why would i need to know another car is self driving though?
