Lemmy: we need to do everything we can for the environment!
Also Lemmy: this thread.
Remember folks, unless your grid is 100% renewables (or split with nuclear), you’re consuming coal or gas power. It may not be much on an individual scale, but it adds up. For coal it’s approximately 1kg of CO2 per KWh, slightly more for petroleum, and 350g for gas.
Edit: apparently OP is running away from the downvotes. Previously they were calling people idiots, stupid, etc for criticizing them.
I like my PC like I like my lights: off when not in use for extended periods of time. Again, doesn’t spend that much power, especially in the world of LEDs; and there are exceptions, like if you’re doing rendering, or compiling code or what have you, but if your PC is idle during the night, turn it off. We have ssds now, so it’s not even like startup time is a reasonable excuse. However, boasting about your PC uptime when our powerplants are poisoning the world is asinine.
Great job asshole, you’re bragging about how your polluting more than others.

City runs on water power from the river and the apartment building has solar panels on the roof. I keep my computer on 24/7. 😬
In my city, our power plants burn our trash! (That’s renewable, right?)
lol

There’s a difference between using something and just letting it sit there, wasting energy. How dense are you?
