Honestly, yeah.

So much media is very “of the moment” and built up through marketing. For whatever reason, a show, a song, a movie, a game, whatever, gets a lot of hype built up around it, but some time goes by and poof, no one cares. That’s part of what was in my head when I made this post. When given a bit of time and space from whatever circumstances of its initial release, what shows still stand out?

Well, the all metal casing makes the Pebble Time 2 feel pretty sturdy, and it is waterproof to 5 atm, but yeah, screen design seems to be a flaw, albeit one that people are already making simple bumper covers and such to fix.

For all those other points, yeah, Pebbles have been great for being able to actually read the screen all the time, get filtered notifications, and the buttons make music control way easier than any touch screen smart watch I’ve used. Pretty sure it isn’t capable of being a Bluetooth range extender though.

Heard nothing but good things about Ted Lasso as well so I think this one is now on my list, thanks!

Schitt’s Creek I think I tried to watch way back but don’t think I even got through the first episode for the reason you just said, couldn’t stand the characters.

I love me some Sci-Fi but yeah, the fact that it’s Star Wars had me ignoring this one despite all the amazing reviews and hype. Is Andor still enjoyable without having seen anything but the first six movies and the first two of the sequels? I know it’s closely linked with Rogue One and I didn’t watch that either. Still recommendable with that little knowledge of the current expanded universe?

In what way? I don’t think the Time 2 is super durable like Gshocks, seeing multiple reports of cracked screens because of the way the glass is slightly raised, causing knocks on sides of the glass where it’s more likely to break.

That said, mine has been fine for the week that I’ve had it but I have screen protectors already ordered

I never used the bangle.js but I was tempted to get it a few times.

But IMO, Pebble OS feels quite well developed. The main parts of the interface are basically unchanged from the original Pebble Time if you’re familiar with it or have seen it before. I think the community around it is also bigger, so a lot more community development, apps, watch faces, etc.

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 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

Found a 2021 reddit post as well

But I feel like I saw this first on imgur back in the mid 2010’s. Might be getting things mixed up though

Definitely not, I’m old, introverted and generally just wanna play chill things after getting home.

Interesting, I pretty much exclusively look for single player experiences. Can’t be bothered to coordinate with people just to have some game time anymore and randos might as well be NPCs IMHO.

Also, enjoyed Slime Rancher for a good bit. Nice for chilling out but eventually it wasn’t able to keep me motivated to come back. Got up to the racing stuff and something about that killed my interest. Waiting to see if Slime Rancher 2 is good once it’s out of early access

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
