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!

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.

this has got to be a thing.

I cast my yes vote in another comment to avoid issues with counting votes, but... are the results of this consequential in any way? shitjustworks admins have already stated they don't really care. will they abide by the results of this, or will it they just release another "we hear you but too bad" statement?

any time i see a weird gif reaction i just block.

it gets repetitive, but that's the way it is for now.

at some point i might just move away from shitjustworks to an instance that actually cares.

lemmy really needs a way for users to individually block instances

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

And that's why the bot exists

I've also always struggled to find a house where i could park my double decker bus out front.

I know he's appeared in the new movies before, but I still think Benjamin Cabbagepatch would make a good Data.
