Threads just started turning on federation like yesterday.

I’ll move instances if we do stay connected. Considering this is the home of privacyguides it’d be weird to stay connected to the Meta datagrinder…

Hasn’t threads not even turned on activitypub support yet?

Maybe it’s both…

But of course, such based individuals will never be billionaires. Specifically because their basedness precludes them from being psychopathic enough to commit the kind of cutthroat, violent exploitation of tens of thousands of workers’ labor inherently necessary to amass such wealth.

I hope to retire from living at the age of young, hopefully

Plot twist: it’s a small farm town in the 1980s and the waiter brings you a damn beer like you deserve

Holy shit, I mention him one time and the server gets updated within the hour

The smolest bean

I respect the devotion to always collecting information from both sides, but if you think hexbear isn’t 100% echo chamber and logical fallacies, then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

that brownie has a 1000% chance of being the strongest concentration of edible THC you’ve ever felt in your goddamn life

like, do you wear it while you’re sleeping even? or just on a charger pedestal

I do have an old samsung Gear 2 that I don’t use anymore. Could use that and skip pairing to my phone. I just don’t wear smart watches, because I never wear a watch at all (blue collar industry habits, can’t wear any bands that might get caught in moving machinery)

notifications do bother, i usually have DnD mode set up to turn on automatically. i’m not quite tin-hat enough to blame the 5g signal waves tho lol

…no?

I have some big red LCD shit from the 90s that i got out of a box at my parents house lol

Of course theyll pull the first season, how else would the network drive people to go sign up for their separate shitty streaming site that barely works for an additional $9/mo?

Meanwhile your friendly neighborhood pirate has the first, second, third AND fourth seasons, as well as all the extras and the Christmas special, always available all the time…

Or a stock market! Or a 401k investment manager, or…

mine has a backup- it’s a coin cell to keep the time saved, not to run the alarm.

i’m sure true rechargeable battery clocks exist that would further solve this problem if I bought one; but that would both require effort to find a good one, and also run against my other boomer habit: being a fucking tightwad lmao

you can simplify the entire modern economy down to “[corporation] is quietly ruining [object/service/everything]”

maybe some day people will eventually wake up to the reality that capitalism optimizes the efficient creation of profit, not the efficient creation of quality or quantity of products. in fact producing products or anything of quality is actively inconvenient to the profit motive- which is why you see subscriptions everywhere now.

Just keeps me from using the damn thing. Whenever you’re in bed you should be sleeping, your brain gets accustomed to that habit of lay down = sleep.

If you have your phone there while laying in bed and decide to pick it up to scroll lemmy/instagram/youtube/whatever, the stimulation and blue light will make you want to not sleep. Plus you might end up burning two hours of your sleep tine and not realize it…

Yeah. A clock with a full backup battery (not judt time keeping) is on my list of things I should get but can’t be assed to go look for.

then you find out the power went out, and your boomer habit of using a normal AC powered alarm clock (so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality) just bit you in the fucking ass
