  • I disagree on the smart watches, but I know I'm in the minority in how I use them. They actually help me disconnect from my phone better because only select apps send notifications to my watch, so if I get a vibration on my wrist, I check, see if it needs action or not, then move on with my life. In my work I often get messages that need immediate action, but I'm often in situations where I can't be distracted in the moment, so smart watches have been super helpful.

    As for all the fitness features or app control, etc. etc, I don't really care. It's nice that I can control my music, I played around with using it as a remote for my camera, but really, all I need is good, controlled notifications on my wrist for ambient awareness.

    Pebble watches have always been the best and I'm eagerly awaiting my Pebble Time 2

    Definitely agree on the bulbs though. Having color control or a dimmer is great but doesn't need to be an app.

  • Everybody in the car so come on let's drive 🎶

  • I believe it's essentially the "Black Lives Matter" /"All Lives Matter" situation. Yes, we are striving for equality, but the movements are worded to highlight those who are most affected/disenfranchised by the status quo.

    Woman gets it when she's talking about the movement that applies specifically to her disenfranchisement, but not when she's in the "out" group of a rights movement

  • I remember using it fondly, saving articles on desktop to read later during commutes or downtime rather than doomscrolling. I might be misremembering but initially their app was great for reading, but then it just started loading the web page rather than text optimized? Maybe I'm misremembering or getting apps mixed up, but I remember it being great for a good chunk of time

  • I just started psyllium husk about 3 weeks ago more for satiation, cholesterol and as a prebiotic but man, I don't think I've ever had better poops, stuff is insane

  • A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way "moon" is used there is similar to month, so it's basically "the time of the month is here" said as "datang bulan"

  • Hell yeah on the Cosmere books.

    I'm going through yet another reread of "Way of Kings" at the moment, the first of Brandon Sanderson's "Stormlight Archive". Something recently had me thinking about Kaladin's overall arc so I'm basically speeding through focusing on his story.

  • Not to mention XDCC over IRC

  • I second this. Been using their Nova 3 model for a good long while now and love it, been telling people it's one of my favorite tech purchases ever. Running android and being able to sideload things is a gamechanger for e-readers.

    Check out the channel My Deep Guide on YouTube for in depth reviews of the latest Onyx Boox offerings and how they compare to others though before you buy, apparently some weirdness in their newest model

  • I don't feel like nobody can understand my POV. I grew up moving country to country and my classmates growing up led similar lives and probably had similar POVs. It was only in college that I realized most people lived their whole childhoods in one city, not counting vacations.

    I think you'd be interested in looking into the concept of "Third Culture Kids". I think the original book may be a bit outdated and lack some of the complexity of modern globalization, but it definitely made me realize a lot of things about myself when I read the book the first time way back.

  • I'm really hoping more adoption of Ubuntu Touch and other alternative mobile OSs will come from this, and with that, more support and development to make them feasible alternatives for the average user

  • I feel like they've been talking about this since I was a kid. I remember reading in school about phytoplankton as a carbon sink and how it can be used to fight climate change back in the early 2000's, or am I losing my mind?

    Edit after reading more carefully. Yes they've been working on it, it's the potential side effects that are the big deal

    Researchers have long known that adding iron to the sea leads to blooms of phytoplankton (back in the 1980s, one scientist declared: “Give me a half tanker of iron, and I will give you an ice age”),

  • Weird, working fine for me on Voyager

  • Remember when basically all CEOs were espousing how their company was working to make the world a better place? No one even pretends anymore

  • In a different AI comic conversation someone used the term "slop sepia" and I hope it catches on.

    The term, not the slop

  • Maybe I'm somehow lucky but in the year plus that I've had mint on my gaming machine with an RTX 3050 I've had no issues. Maybe cause I rarely play demanding games? But modded Cyberpunk has been fine as well

  • It can stand alone I think, but it also is pretty deep in his expanded universe. I've only just gotten into act 2 and there's stuff that ties into other stories, some of which I haven't read, and I'm still enjoying it. Definitely no worries about missing the short story though as he sprinkles it in as flash backs in act 1 of the story.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    How do you handle unpopped popcorn kernels at the movies?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What game do you play to just chill?

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Good Linux note taking app with stylus support for hand writing?
