I’m using DisplayPort from now on instead of HDMI! This video does a great job at explaining why it is a much more open and less proprietary alternative, in addition to being technically to be preferred.

    I’m listening to music. I don’t want to pause the music to listen to something that I could just read.

    Other reasons I don’t want to watch a video might include:

    • I don’t have headphones with me and can’t play sound because e.g. I’m in public
    • Watching moving pictures when I don’t have to is annoying
    • Reading is quicker than listening to the exact same text
    • I’m just on Lemmy while doing something else and can’t take that much attention away from the something else
    • Videos - and articles - often have a load of extra fluff I’m not interested in, which is waayy easier to skip over if it’s written.

      Also, YouTube.
      I would be much more inclined to click if it were Odysee or PeerTube.
      You need to give me a much more compelling reason than “I’m using DP instead of HDMI” to click on a YouTube link.
