Pretty wild that the author didn't set up app notifications. Getting specific notifications from specific people on my wrist is a big part of the reason I use a smartwatch. But to each their own.

It'd be pretty cool to get a significant use case of my pricey pricey Garmin for ~CAD$40.

[–] edent@lemmy.world 74 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm the author. I've now set up notifications on the advice of just about everyone. It's pretty cool!

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nice!

I enjoyed reading your blog. It's been a while since I looked at an honest to goodness enthusiast blog. Thanks for writing it!

You like breakfast? Anywhere near Massachusetts?

I've been working on a super simple blog about breakfast in all 351 cities/towns. I'm at 133.

Can throw a link if you wanna look.

I had flashbacks to Parks and Rec breakfast scenes and I believe Leslie Knope would support your cause.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ha, yep, she would.

[–] ilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm nowhere near Massachusetts but I am a huge fan of breakfast food so I applaud your efforts.

Shakshuka is my novel breakfast these days

Crap, I really fucked that up. Meant to reply to your previous comment in the thread... And I didn't even finish my thought. I need more coffee before replying lol.

I meant to ask if you have encountered shakshuka and posted on your blog

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No. My blog is specific to Massachusetts.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ah that's too bad, but I bet you've had some really excellent experiences doing that, so cool

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good breakfast are actually few & far between. 😏

I'm starting to think I may be suffering from low standards or a malfunctioning palate

I hear ignorance is bliss?

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ha, I'm just a picky jackass.

If you are good at getting other people to see what to see your blog should be successful then. That might not be a bad thing... For you lol

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

My blog is really only for fun. It's embarrassingly simple. I had zero intention of being an "influencer". 🙄

[–] Alternativebarker39@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

East Brookfield has got a pretty mean breakfast game.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Oh yeah... I need that on my list.

Whatcha got?

Only requirement is it must be a sit down establishment.

Also, I hate "cash only" spots. They're an automatic "Nay!" on my: yay or nay blog.

[–] Alternativebarker39@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Charlie's has the hash brown encrusted omelet. Trolly stop is very cheap and simple. Good views in the back.. Kostas is absolutely professional with some advanced breakfasts.

If you visit Toronto hit up The White Lily Diner for breakfast—best Southern breakfast up North!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I'll keep it in mind. I went to Toronto in 1985 for an international High School Jazz competition.

I was suppose to pop into a Toronto brewery the week of the total eclipse a couple Aprils ago, but, we kept driving East for a reason that I don't recall.

Some day again, I'm sure. Ty.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What do you mean, specific notifications? Like an allowlist or something? Where, in android, the companion app or GB?

I'm genuinely confused.

[–] edent@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah. GadgetBridge allows me to set up an allow-list / block-list for notifications. So I can get SMS on my wrist but ignore social media pings.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I'm warning you, im going to remember this.

That sounds amazing 🤩

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sure, but the allow/block list in GB is for app level notifications, where does "from specific people" (indicating a sender filter) come in?

[–] edent@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

On Android you can designate certain notifications to be high priority.

Or, in GB, on the notifications app list you can click the cog next to an app and use those filters. I haven't played much with it yet though.
