On the hate of Bluesky here from what I understand: it’s just another twitter masquerading being open with almost impossible to run federation backenf if you’re not some big rich organization that will enshittify and it’s not mastodon

This is why I just don’t do microblogs. I’m just an uninteresting and uninterested specimen of humanity

So idk why someone would want to randomly know about me through DM

Personally I only ask after interacting for months, and I only offer mine the same way. By that I mean in positive interactions.

I agree with others that say it might be an awkward way to get to know you

In general though I just don’t like to be DM’d unsolicited without me stalking following the account and get to know the vibe

The inventor and original owner of the company didn’t get it either, AFAIK. He resisted a lot of things that makes aeropress more expensive just for the sake of it. Well he had to cash out sooner or later and this became of it.

Now I might be talking out of my ass, based on half unremembered internet tales.

But here’s my own opinion on this: premium aeropress is just for people to showboat they have money.

I would instead pay for big aeropress though. Makes it easier to share coffee.

I thought they would reject it, but my band friends and their peers all like to use AI to brainstorm and draft songs and go from there making their own songs.

I thought that’s interesting. I’ve asked them about it a few times on the lazy way of using AI and just make slop and yeah they’re against that

I don’t have any close friends who are drawing artists though I know a few through mutual hobbies on discord. They don’t seem to be using AI as tools from what I can tell.

My dad and his circle are definitely churning slop though but says it’s mostly for in-group joking and shooting the shit, so I guess that’s fine

Me personally, I’m still hesitant using it. I’m an “everything” consultant that hates his place in the small IT company but rising my BPD II wave too much to change it. Everyone around me is fine using AI to help analyze and what not documents and stuff to help them work. I can see how they are useful once you know how to ask the thing, but I just don’t want to.

I mean after Valve released the Steam Deck, Asus, Lenovo, MSI–to name just a few–followed suit with at least an iteration. Asus has the Ally and Ally X, Lenovo now have 3 models, and MSI only has 1.

I can’t recall if there are any other big brands handheld PCs, but there’s definitely Chinese ones.

Agreed. But I’m glad it’s native to desktop Firefox now. Grouping tabs in desktop works for me to hide the hundreds of tabs I keep to tens of groups 🤪

Nooo, Nicole!

I would like to know more about this magic URL and how to set it up

It definitely is still Winging. But I keep delaying to fix the the broken USB C and now I only charge using wireless. It also needs a battery replacement and each day I delay pretty sure it gets harder to get genuine parts.

It has fell a few tines with it open and I’m surprised that it’s still working.

Will miss the bad boy when the time comes. While unconventional, it convinces me that I want a dual screen / foldable phone / “small phone that can go big phone in one device”. Just that those are too expensive to justify.

To LG’s credit, if you have the correct version of phones, they did support and update them as per their schedule. My Korean version LG Wing is now on the last version it’ll ever get, Android 13. That was I think 2023.

Now if anything happens to my Wing, I guess it’ll be a relic and e-waste.

Such a shame that LG decided to exit the smartphone market all those years ago.

To add to what have been said, instead of QR code for users, have it for communities instead. That’s what Lemmy/threadiverse is more built around.

It’s funny how I replied to this post and glazing piefed with my Lemmy.zip account instead of my piefed account.

Also another great feature of piefed that I forgot to mention: piefed consolidates similarly titled posts / crossposts and present comments from the different communities into one page.

I haven’t figured it out yet if I reply to the post, which community will it go to. I assume if I reply to one of the comments it will go to the community where the comment is.

Since Google wants to take the TikTok crowd, they are boosting Shorts. So content creators are pushing Shorts.

I think he means reaction content. Where some influencer or some other reacts to viral stuff or whatever. Most are shit.

But if you managed to find it there are some good ones where they add good content on top.

I personally am following a chef doing this reaction content. He adds a lot of advice and suggestions for the normal home cooks.

What I wish is more viable is the Huawei Pura SomeNumbers. It’s passport sized when closed, with a usable portrait-ish small outer screen to fit besides two cameras. Opens like a book into a landscape orientation, to a 16:10 ratio screen. A dream device.

Too bad it’s locked in China. Technically.

Xiaomi and Poco phones are champions of bang for buck most of the time. But always at the cost of whatever data collection and ads.

It’s made worse that Xiaomi have been clamping down on unlocking the bootloader with more and more hoops.

Agreed. At least there are efforts to salvage it.
