This is really disappointing... I figured the open source nature of Bitwarden would save it from enshittification but as the author says, in the end, the company doesn't need to keep it open source.

Died trying to hold Melania's hand 😒

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.

Also, imagine if some other country decided to make a move against US interests now. I wonder how many countries are keeping close track of the number of bullets left in the US' metaphorical gun

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

Was hoping to see him actually get body slammed...

For anyone else taking the headline literally like I did, the crowd just starts chanting "fuck ICE" and the wrestlers look a bit confused, then things just continue

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 feel like most people know Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Full game is free I believe (it's been a while since I played).

Rouge-like dungeon crawl with tons of content, still getting updates too after so many years

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

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

 

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?

Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.

 

I can't stop laughing but I also have no friends who read Stormlight to share this with 😭

 

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
