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

I believe it was this guy, an LG Cosmos 2. I recall it being not great. But it was infinitely nicer to type on than any phone I’ve had since so there’s that.

Songar87, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I’ve been enjoying my ability to send and receive texts from my Galaxy Watch 5. Running Google Maps through it while driving is also a plus!

Newegg used to sell this one dumb phone for like $12. Completely unbranded garbage but it made calls and did sms.

My brother used to lose his phone or drop it in the toilet constantly. We had like 3 or 4 of that crappy phone just because he kept doing stupid stuff.

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

An LG KF600. It was pretty mediocre.

Narrrz, in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

I don't strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

Moto enV 3 I think. Went from that to an HTC windows phone and then to a Moto Droid 1

The last one I had was the original Motorola Razr and it was the second cell phone I ever had. My first phone was actually a smartish phone; my first cell was a Danger Hiptop (Sidekick). It was almost exactly like a modern smartphone; internet connected and used apps. But was around before the iPhone and did not have a touch screen. Only reason it wasn’t also my last “dumb” phone was because my original broke long after they stopped selling them. Just to put in perspective how long I had these: my next phone after the Razr and first actual smartphone was a Nexus 4.

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

I don’t remember the name, but it was some Samsung phone with a relatively low resolution touch screen and a slide out keyboard. I got so good at texting with the slide out keyboard, god I miss those.

mojo, in What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?

My hobbies are crime

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

I had a blackberry bold which was sorta in between smart and dumb. My last actual dumb phone was an LG rumor, which was one of those with the full querty slide-out keyboard

FireTower, in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t even mention the fediverse, unless they pry. It’s another thing to explain.

If they get Reddit just say it’s like a bunch of mini Reddits connected to each other.

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

Just recently went been to a Fitbit charge 6 from a Galaxy watch 5. I don’t use any of the features of a smart watch and having to charge it every day is bullshit. The Fitbit is charge ever week or week and a half.

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

I have a pixel watch, but I usually just wear my regular watch. I forget to charge the smart watch, and that annoys me. I always sleep wearing my watch so it’s hard to remember to take it off at night and charge it.

hperrin, in What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?

The biggest green flag is that you like being around them and you miss them when they’re not there. I know that seems kinda obvious and a weird thing to say, but hear me out. Sometimes people get invested into a relationship, and don’t even realize that they don’t like spending time with their partner. Wanting to be around them, like actually longing for their company, is a green flag.

zcd, in What show is as entertainingly bad as Fear The Walking Dead?

I wonder if foundation would qualify? If you were a fan of the books and expecting something remotely similar you’d be wildly disappointed. But the visuals in the show are really good and one of the storylines (Not even remotely found in the book) is really entertaining with one of the actors (Lee Pace) putting on an absolute clinic.

Halo If you’re looking for pure shit

DarkThoughts,

I didn't read the books and maybe I'm too starved for decent space / sci-fi shows but I still enjoy Foundation.

ElusiveClarity,

I’ll never understand how they managed to fuck up Halo so bad.

zcd,

I remember reading that the creators were not interested in playing the games at all, but I kind of get the feeling that they had pure distain for the source material and were actively trying to ruin it as much as possible. How many god damn times did Master chief get hit in the head after taking off his helmet in tactical situations?

BURN,

I heard it was supposed to be a Mass Effect show, but they couldn’t get the rights, so they shoehorned Halo into the same story

Ransom,

Never read the books. Enjoying the show. Lee Pace is a gem.

mrnotoriousman,

Haven't read the books yet but love the show. Which part of the emperor plot isn't in the book or are you saying there was no dynasty in the books?

zcd,

I enjoyed the show also, but it’s sort of like a fan fiction set in the first couple chapters of the book? The book quickly moves from generation to generation, crisis to crisis and leaves empire and these characters far behind

mrnotoriousman,

Ahhh okay, I get it I think but not gonna spoil for anyone else reading lol.
