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…

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.

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.

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.

I hope it’s still the case as I have Tidal subscription, but they were the ones giving the most money per stream to the artist.

I wouldn’t want to move to another streaming platform unless they are even better for artists.

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.

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

Well thanks for your precise answer. It’s nice to have some civilized people being able to just discuss about a topic.

We can just agree to disagree before I leave the topic 😅

That’s the thing, often you don’t know if someone has committed a crime and looking into their phone can also prove that they’re not guilty.

I ain’t talking about any method outside of the law. Willingly cooperating isn’t illegal. Nothing forces you to be friendly with your neighbors, but being friendly with your neighbor isn’t illegal.

Because your friend would just be doing it out of curiosity, not as part of an investigation.

I’m not saying that anyone not unlocking their phone has done something illegal, but just that some people who are refusing to give something willingly to the police is making them waste precious time which could be used to catch up with the bad guy.

Again I can only talk about my country and maybe in the US cops are awful, I don’t know. But I know that family of victims would love people to just cooperate with the police and not make them waste time…

I totally agree with you and that’s what we have in my country.

At least someone on Lemmy is not jumping on the ACAB stuff train.

People are the first one to criticize us (sometimes with good reasons) but they are the first one to call us when they are in deep shit.

If someone from your family gets abducted and the police can ask your neighbors to cooperate and give information without everyone just using a right to remain silent or lie, I’m sure you would be happy with the time gained to help you find your family member.

I agree with you, you can’t know for sure that you’re with a good or bad cop.

But you also have to comply with laws if you don’t want to get in trouble.

I can only answer for my country and I can tell you that here you’re gonna waste way less time if you show what’s in your phone and we can see that you’re innocent.

The time not wasted there might also be used to catch the person who’s really guilty.

I’ll just give you an example even if it’s not reated to unlocking phones: A black BMW 335i is filmed hitting a pedestrian and the plate number finishes with a 5. We’re gonna need to have a look at every BMW within these parameters. If you prevent the police from checking your car by hiding it, a guilty guy might have more time to hide his car and a crime is gonna go unpunished, leaving a victim with no one to pay for his injuries.

Of course, that reality might be different elsewhere. It’s just that I have noticed that on Lemmy cops are only seen as bad guys when, in my case, I spend a lot of time helping people.
