Update: Eventually I was able to get in using Chrome or Firefox. Their hashrate was much faster than Pale Moon. Still can't use lemmy.ml in Pale Moon.

I tested some other instances that are behind Anubis: quokk.au, lemmy.ca, lemmy.nz. The difficulty levels they assigned me were 1, 3, 4 respectively and I was able to get in after a few seconds. dbzero uses haphash and their challnge took my browser 566 ms.

No VPN. ISP is Comcast in USA. My OS is Windows 7, not sure if it considers that to be shady. Was using "Pale Moon" web browser at first. Then I tried in different browsers and had similar results in Chrome and Firefox.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for a nationwide tax on billionaires as part of a broader “economic reset for America.”

Newsom, who is considered to be a 2028 presidential contender, also reiterated his opposition to a state-level wealth tax that Californians will vote on in November.

He also called for creating a “national public equity fund” to help “ensure every American owns a stake in the future being built by AI.”

Eric Migicovsky, leader of the revived Pebble, is making smartwatches for himself. You're just along for the ride.

"Apple makes it incredibly difficult for third-party devices to interact with things like iMessage or Siri or any of the built-in features on iOS," Migicovsky told Gizmodo in a freewheeling video interview. "And that sucks. That sucks for competition. That sucks for innovation. That sucks for price."

What about nature documentaries like "Meerkat Manor" and "Uptown Otters" that assign names to the animals and give them personalities to construct a storyline.

Or historical fiction comedy like "Our Flag Means Death" and "The Great".

BBC mockumentaries "Look Around You" and "Cunk on Earth".

Pebble Time 2 has now entered mass production. We’ve finished all the testing and design changes we need to make. Things are working very well!

Here’s the rough manufacturing and shipping schedule

  • We started mass producing a few dozens watches per day. Over the next month we’ll ramp up to our target of 500 per day.
  • The first PT2s will ship out during the last week of March.
  • With over 20,000 pre-orders, we expect to finish shipping around the beginning of June.

Pebble Time 2 Production Update: We’re in the Production Verification Test (PVT) phase right now, the last stop before Mass Production (MP).

Entering PT2 Mass Production on March 9.

Based on current schedule, the first mass production PT2s will arrive on wrists during the beginning of April. We should wrap up delivering all pre-ordered Pebble Time 2s two months later by the beginning of June.

That's from November, it seems like since then they have worked out some of their issues and agreed on a plan to cooperate.

We have a better understanding of how Eric interacted with the App Store API, and we don’t think that he intended to “steal” from us there.

One of the things that we’ve understood from both our blog post and Eric’s is that we have real common ground: what matters to both of us is keeping the Pebble ecosystem alive and kicking. And from the community reaction, what we hear is clear: we can only do that by working together.

Pebble Appstore now has a publicly available backup and supports multiple feeds, providing long term reliability through decentralization.

As Phụ Nữ reports, Vietnam recently announced Decree No. 342, which details a number of provisions to the national Advertising Law, due to take effect from February 15, 2026. The adjustments are expected to place stricter control on Vietnam’s online advertising activities to protect consumers and curb illegal ads.

Amongst the decree articles, some standout stipulations include a hard cap on the waiting time before viewers can skip video and animated ads to no more than 5 seconds. Static ads must be immediately cancellable.

Did we ever really need a phone on our wrists?

As soon as I held the Pebble Round 2 in my hand, I suddenly realized what I’d been missing for the better part of a decade. I’ve always felt smartwatches should supplement, rather than supplant, your phone, but that’s an attitude that feels almost quaint these days.

He wasn't going to add compass because most people don't use it, but then he added it to the Core 2 Duo as a favor to a friend who helped on that version and wanted a compass in it.

Is there anything Americans could do to petition other countries to help us? ICC or the UN? Or in civil court, could we crowdfund lawyers to sue the government?

What I'm most looking forward to on a new Pebble:

  • Battery life. With the battery and cpu efficiency improvements in the last 10 years, if the features and other specs stay the same then battery life should be incredible. I think month-long battery is likely possible.
  • Improved voice recognition and AI features. Pebble had voice recognition but it sent everything to a server to process. Now they could run speech-to-text on the watch itself or on the connected phone.
  • More durable buttons. A known issue with the Pebble 2 is eventually the buttons turn to mush.

I wish there was a company like Fairphone or Framework laptops but for TVs.
