This mod gatekeeping feels like somewhere else I used to know…

KISSmyOS,

Without moderation, all the trolls who got banned elsewhere will congregate, then everyone else leaves, then the trolls get bored cause there’s no one to troll and leave, too.

meco03211, in Do InvisibleFence brand controller units work with non-IF collars?

Can you buy another brand and do a quick test yourself? Then just return if it doesn’t. I imagine it’s just emitting some emf and any receiver can pick up signals. Depending on how sensitive stuff is, it might need to be tuned to certain frequencies.

I think so. I was hoping someone had experience with mixed brand, but it looks like I’ll be taking take your advice :)

Yeah, I blocked that community within an hour of seeing all the stick posts.

JohnDClay,

I only saw two?

Pratai, (edited )

There’s tons of dumbass stick posts on a community that was recently created for the purpose of sharing pictures of sticks. It’s essentially the new beans meme for all the kids to rally around.

JohnDClay,

I thought you meant the ask lemmy community.

Pratai,

Naah. Lemmy in general. That post exploded into a mushroom cloud of collective dumbassery.

thorbot,

Welcome to the internet. First day here?

Damaskox, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
@Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

I do both.

Started with an analog/digital watch.
Got an activity bracelet and swapped for a smartwatch later - using it only for steps and timer.

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

Why would I need a watch?

Bytemeister, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Waiting for the engine to warm up a bit? Centering myself and dealing with distractions before I drive. Mapping out my egress routes and bailout locations after eliminating the parties specified in the verbal contract? All normal things you are supposed to do before you drive.

Rhynoplaz, in How do you work full-time and stay awake all shift?

Have you tried sleeping at night?

Pratai, (edited )

Did you not read the fist sentence of their post or are you just an insensitive ass?

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

Like many, I stopped wearing watches when smartphones became a thing. Then I adopted the Apple Watch when that came out and wore one or another of them until this month. Something switched in my brain and I just decided that I hated that thing. Hated having to charge it. Hated the notifications. Hated feeling a need to close the rings. Hated the look of the thing. Hated that everyone seems to wear the same thing.

I started to learn about mechanical watches and bought an inexpensive but reportedly good quality one that looks nice to me. So far, I love it. There’s something viscerally satisfying about watching the movement through the display back, hearing the subtle sound, occasionally winding it, and contemplating that people can make such complex things that actually work.

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

I own a few nice wristwatches for special occasions, but my daily driver us a Fitbit. even though charging every 3-4 days is a bit annoying, I do like wrist access to notifications, step counts and activity tracking.

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

Neither; I don’t like the feeling of something on my wrist. I used to have a pocket watch, but finding a modern one is rather difficult, so I just use my phone.

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

Smart watch.

I appreciate being able to get a (mostly) silent notification for messages, and setting silent alarms.

I charge it weekly. Any more often than that and I’d stop using it.

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

Smart watch. I’ve been wearing one every day for the past 5-6 years. I like that I can check notifications at work, in a meeting, or any time it’s inconvenient to have my phone out. I also really enjoy having my fitness data tracked for trends over the years: calories burned, steps walked, heart rate, breathing, exercises, sleep, etc. It has really helped me become a more active person as I try to beat previous goals.

Pratai, in Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

Because conservatism Is a mental disorder.

Aux,

Go see a doctor then.

Pratai,

Think about what you just said here, and then understand why it’s fucking dumb.

Aux,

Go see a doctor for sure.

Pratai,

lol… sure.

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

Apple Watch cellular, which I really like. I got a Speidel Twist-O-Flex watch band that’s even easier for daily use than the bands that come with them. I like having all the health and fitness data but it’s also just nice to not need my phone.

One example of not needing a phone I really like is having Apple Pay on it. If you’re out jogging or your phone dies or something, you can still use it to pay. It’s also nice at festivals and arenas and other places where you’re just trying to pay quickly. You don’t have to dig out your phone or wallet.

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

I would wear mine if i didnt need to recharge it every damn day
