I don't get why more people don't have hybrid smartwatches (the ones with e ink displays)

Love mine

flashgnash ,

I used to do this but it ended up in me missing notifications I actually cared about

The best solution is as someone else mentioned, just mute apps that send obnoxious notifications when you see them

Different notification sounds for different kinds of notifications has been big as well, one for messages, a different one for twitch streams, and another for everything else that normally gets ignored

flashgnash ,

This except for twitch streams

flashgnash ,

At least they normally let you selectively disable promotions

flashgnash ,

True, not a personal human action though. I pretty much always want to see messages from people, but most of the time don't care about stream notifications

flashgnash ,

I'm not sure about on iOS, on android if you long press on any notification and go to disable it there are a bunch of toggleable notification categories

flashgnash ,

What a depressing sight to behold

At least it's empty

flashgnash ,

This, and I do a lot of gaming on my pc, have a nice setup etc, usually not great trying to work there (don't have space for another desk and can't really justify having two sets of monitors, keyboard etc

flashgnash ,

That's normally what I do, the problem is the context for me, I sometimes prefer just sitting across the room with a laptop so I'm in a slightly different environment

flashgnash ,

Some twat splashed me on a wide open road the other day after I got caught in a hailstorm on my way home, still salty about that one

Not that it made any difference I was fully saturated anyway

flashgnash ,

Who needs a crematorium when you can stuff your body with enough explosives to cremate you from the inside

flashgnash ,

You'd hope if we had an opportunity to start fresh we'd chill with the roads and put more public transport and walkable city design in

flashgnash ,

Who tf tips a landlord? That's what the rent is for

flashgnash ,

Too busy to chew his peeps but not to write an essay about them

flashgnash ,

Isn't there already one? Thought that was what Revolt was

flashgnash ,

Do I need to worry about this not being in the US? I'm wary of the way I word my opt out incase it causes me some issues down the line

flashgnash ,

Is open source though, federation can always come later

That said I'm not sure why they didn't use matrix from the start

flashgnash ,

I thought Lemmy started without federation?

flashgnash ,

Best way to learn at a surface level is randoms on the internet and Google imo

Bonus points if you get it wrong publicly because then everyone will jump on the chance to point out the things you do wrong

flashgnash ,

Have to imagine more than the average amount you'd find on the internet

flashgnash ,

I've had evri multiple times deliver to someone else's house absolutely nowhere near the address they were given and have had to go looking for it

First time couldn't even find the door and the people never attempted to give it to us

Fortunately the company sent a new one but still

flashgnash ,

And overwatch

flashgnash ,

In any good society everyone who is able should be expected to contribute something though. Even in the wild you have the right to be alive but you don't have the right to free food, shelter etc without working for it

Similarly under capitalism you're not going to be executed for not working but also unless there's a good reason you can't contribute nobody's going to work to feed you for nothing in return

flashgnash ,

In no capitalist society that I know of will you be executed for not working - you have a right to life

What you don't have the right to is someone else to provide for you if you don't give anything back

That said I'm fairly sure with the amount of automation we have everyone should need to put in a whole lot less work than they do to keep society afloat

flashgnash ,

In the case of someone who can't work for one reason or another there's obviously an exception because that's not something they can help

Children do contribute to society by getting an education and having a childhood to develop into well adjusted adults who contribute later on,

Unemployment benefits presumably are for people actively searching for a job

The elderly have already contributed more than their fair share raising their children

Using the phrasing people who don't work implies including people who are able but just don't want to

flashgnash ,

I'm sure I'd give something back but I'm also sure most of it wouldn't be of much use to anyone else, I'd be working on stuff like mods, niche tools for myself that probably 3 people on earth would find useful, and stupid ideas for fun like some streamers get to

flashgnash ,

Passions don't necessary line up with something that's beneficial to society is my point.

Absolutely the distribution of wealth at the moment is far from fair and I wish we could fix that, but I still think short of everything being automated even in a utopia where we do everything perfectly as a society people still have to do jobs they don't want to because there are jobs noone wants to do that need doing

I highly doubt anyone has a passion for working in the service industry, cleaning up the messes kids make at school or collecting people's rubbish but they're jobs that need doing and people do them because they're compensated for them

flashgnash ,

Dude took eat the rich too literally

flashgnash ,

Nowadays if you've got a fancy one you've gotta do do your best not to accidentally tear it in half

flashgnash ,

Weird to see how many others actually use this

Got it as my font anywhere I can set it

flashgnash ,

I used an app called zfont 3, has a few workarounds for different manufacturers

What it did on my old phone was have me set a store downloaded font, make a backup of settings, uninstall the font, then it installs the new one with the same name and restore the backup

flashgnash ,

Jesus some of the names of the blocked instances are disturbing as hell

flashgnash ,

I actually cannot comprehend how people can think like this

Saw a 4chan post claiming to be about making crystals that was actually designed to mislead people into making chlorine gas and poisoning themselves - how the fuck can anyone be that broken that they'd find that funny

flashgnash ,

How's driving a car violent? Not exactly good for the environment but I wouldn't classify that as violent or seriously harmful to any individual (assuming you don't run anyone over)

flashgnash ,

Which also applies to the phones/laptops people are reading this thread on, along with pretty much all technology we consider essential nowadays

flashgnash ,

I don't think that's a perfect system anyway though, spammers could create a massive tree of fake accounts and just only use a small proportion of them for spam

Use a number of compromised user accounts to set this up and it becomes a nightmare

flashgnash ,

I don't think anyone's ditching mainstream social media en masse though are they? Sure a bunch of us have but let's be honest 90% of Lemmy/mastodon users are of a very similar demographic and not exactly a huge chunk of the population

flashgnash ,

That wasn't really my point, I quite like it too but the presence of the nerd net doesn't mean the mainstream internet stuff goes away

flashgnash ,

Rest in peace toriyama

flashgnash ,

I'm not sure it compares to things like scss does it? I was under the impression it fills out a similar role to bootstrap and the like

flashgnash ,

This is the first I'm hearing of this thing's existence

flashgnash ,

Nvidia?

flashgnash ,

Yep same here. It used to work alright then a driver update made half my games unplayable

flashgnash ,

I think the algorithm silently penalises you in some places if you swear. Or at least the self censorers believe this

flashgnash ,

Clearly we should abolish mondays

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

flashgnash ,

Don't you have to jailbreak to do that

flashgnash ,

With developer license

Doesn't seem fair to pay for the luxury of being able to install your own software

flashgnash ,

I think power only cables should exist because they are significantly cheaper, but they should have some kind of marking to differentiate them enforced by the standard
