morphballganon, in What game do you play to just chill?

Either ACNH or TotK

FontMasterFlex,

Why use acronyms when people are looking for suggestions? What did you do with the 30 seconds you saved by typing acronyms instead of just typing out the name?

morphballganon,

Are you not familiar with Animal Crossing New Horizons and Tears of the Kingdom?

FontMasterFlex,

I had to look up Animal Crossing by the acronym. But it’s not just about ME, or YOU. You’re attempting to HELP someone, why would you post something that they then have to go look up? Just type out the words for fucks sake.

YeOldeDickTwist,

Gonna cry about it?

FontMasterFlex,

I already forgot about you. IDGAF about you. I don’t think about you. I simply don’t care.

morphballganon,

Chill bruh. Maybe play some ACNH.

ChillDude69, in Are there any alternatives to photoshop on ios mobile?

I think the Affinity Photo suite works on the ios mobile platform. It’s definitely supposed to work on iPad.

I have been using Affinity Photo 2 on the PC side for almost a year, and it’s the Photoshop replacement of my dreams. It should probably be on sale soon, too, if it’s not already.

RBWells, in What do you want for Christmas?

Those are great choices, OP. I’d like a good cutting board, or a nice bottle of whiskey. By which I mean good tasting not crazy expensive.

We all want peace for Christmas but can’t individually bring that about. And probably most of us also want things that are way too big to be reasonable gifts - plenty of impossible things. I know I do, anyway.

Bring back sliders with full keyboards

If you didn’t text with a rotary phone you were a fucking noob: There, I said it.

T9 would work on a rotary phone input. You would save a lot of of time. It would still take a lot of time.

I never saw one where the keys were big enough that I didn’t mash everything around the target key with the size of my fingers, and I really don’t have big hands or anything.

Rhynoplaz,

The BlackBerry Curve has my favorite keyboard, and I DO have big hands!

stoy,

The size of the keys are not really the issue, the size of the spacing around them is.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

or BlackBerry key approach

turbowafflz,

I really want one, I hate virtual keyboards so much. There’s the f(x)tec phones but their keyboards come out in landscape mode and I’d really rather have one where it’s portrait like the Palm Pre

registrert,
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

I got one of them tiny foldable bluetooth keyboards for anything longer than replies. Brings it with me everywhere, it’s super handy.

Yet not as handy as a slide out keyboard.

@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Is f(x)tec actually a thing? Like have they actually started shipping phones to customers?

UltraMagnus0001,

my first smart phone was a Motorola Droid that had a physical keyboard. Cameras have come a long way.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Motorola DROID 4 was my dream phone. Alas, it was never released down here, so I could never buy one, even used.

dasusernem,

I had an HTC Tilt back when the first iPhone was released. Aside from that phone running windows mobile (holy Christ, what a mess that was), I loved it so much. But then I finally joined the cult at the 3GS.

Starglasses, in What do you want for Christmas?

Someone to help me de-clutter and get rid of stuff, to help me list and sell the valuable stuff, to organize my home in a logical way.

Stuff and tasks accumulate and have become overwhelming.

Zatore, in What do you want for Christmas?

The Nikon Z 400mm F4.5s lens

A Steam Deck, but nobody is going to give me that.

howler, in Car Mechanics of Lemmy - Do you have a puncture repair kit that you would recommend?

Check out “project farm” on YouTube. He has an excellent channel and had vids for puncture repair kits, portable compressors and jump packs. He is great.

13esq,

Oh yh, I totally forgot about project farm, I love that channel!

Here is the link for anyone interested

V0uges, (edited ) in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
@V0uges@jlai.lu avatar

Used to have an Apple Watch Ultra. Used to because it’s been somewhere in my house for months and I can’t find it and even when I knew where it was I barely wore it. I have a phone, i don’t need further notifications. I wear regular old school watches and love those (I think it comes with the Swiss nationality at this point, our insane love for well crafted watches is in our blood). As a woman who loves watches and has way too many, I also enjoy that mid range and luxury brands are starting to get more exciting models for us. I don’t care about diamonds. But automatic models and such were almost non existant for us a decade ago.

Tangent5280,

Arent most mechanisms gender neutral?

V0uges,
@V0uges@jlai.lu avatar

Even the gender neutral models are usually designed to rather fit a man and are oversized for a woman’s wrist.

Death_Equity,

Women with large watches are an underappreciated aesthetic.

V0uges,
@V0uges@jlai.lu avatar

I definitely fancy a nice boyfriend style watch. Got the pink Swatch x Omega one last spring and once you swap the band for a way less tacky plain white leather, it’s pretty solid for casual days looks at the office.

weeeeum, (edited ) in Anyone have any guides or tips for how to decorate home living spaces to feel more "lived in"?

I have a cabinet with some sentimental items. My first knife (knives are my hobby), a candle from my sister’s and I birthday, and ESPECIALLY gifts from others, despite how insignificant it might seem. Birthday cards, handmade flowers, a tiny origami crane and other handmade trinkets. All really miniscule items but they all make me happy. I also have a tiny swedish flag from ikea. Oh and some cat chopstick holders I have on my shelf.

A stupid little quote that’s proven itself true time and time again is “small joy and big joy, all the same”. Because all these little, seemingly insignificant, items on display have often made me happier more often than other “more significant stuff”. Stuff like a new fancy office chair, expensive gaming PC and gaming set up, nice coffee maker, expensive speakers and other luxury items. It really is the simple things.

echodot, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

A Nokia Ngage , it was a Gameboy phone combo

Last time in my life that I was cool.

cashews_best_nut,

Adding that to my handheld gaming wishlist! 👍

droidpenguin,

Wow that does kinda look like a Gameboy Advance just with way more buttons!

Death_Equity, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I tried a cheap smartwatch to test out the concept to see if a smartwatch would add anything of value to my life before I spent hundreds on a good one.

I liked that I didn’t have to reach in my pocket to take my phone out to check the time, see what a text was, and take calls on speakerphone. The best use case was while I was working and that was very handy. The problem was that my job destroyed that cheap smartwatch in a couple weeks. I don’t have anywhere near the same utility outside of work. So no smartwatch for me despite wanting one, because technology.

Tangent5280,

What work do you do? Testing electromagnets or something?

Death_Equity,

Construction. Lots of abrasion, vibrations, moisture, impacts, various sealants, masonry dust, mortar mixes, etc. Basically it is not a great enviroment for electronics kept near your hands. I honestly expected the watch to last a few days and only my caution kept it going as long as it did. Though I did get it ripped off my wrist, the magnetic band sticking it to the truck saved it.

Tangent5280,

Oh yeah, that will do it. I wonder if a G-shock would fare better. Casio is making smartwatches now, though Im not sure if they’re from the G-Shock line. Maybe those would fare better.
