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

I wear Mi Bands with Gadgetbridge but when this thing dies I might switch back to a Casio F91W.

pHr34kY, (edited )

I have an F105 because the backlight is really nice in darkness compared to the F91W. For special occasions, I just got an A168, which is basically the F105 in gold.

I can wear the F105 while playing baseball. It won’t break, and it’s a cheap fix if it ever does.

Changing the batteries every 7 years is annoying enough. I couldn’t imagine one that has to be charged daily.

jacktherippah,

Ah nice. Thanks for the recommendation. I do remember the F91W backlight being really bad.

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

I had a pinewatch for a good while, neat little thing for 40 bucks, until the belt thingie broke and I couldnt use it anynore

I’d love to get new one, or a band that is

Aggravationstation,

They use standard 20mm straps, pretty cheap on ebay. I wear my Pinetime every day, great device.

I just tell them there are pirate subs (comms), that get’s their attention rather quickly.

IbnLemmy,

Piracy and porn… The secret to every social networks success…

jedi,

Lol! The best way

shrugal, (edited ) in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?

It’s like multiple reddit sites, but they all work the same and the content and users are synced between them. So you can pick any one of them, follow topics and contact users from all of them, and if one site goes haywire we just ignore or block it and move on.

The way that I explain it is quite similar to yours. It works, but you need to emphasise

  • that unlike in Reddit, there’s no central group of admins controlling the whole thing; and
  • that each instance has its own communities, and those are equivalent to subreddits.

otherwise users start associating instances with subreddits.

scytale,

That’s how I explain it as well. It’s better than the email analogy I see all the time. Obviously using reddit as an example only works if the person you’re talking to knows what reddit is. Otherwise, I just change it to something they know (i.e. facebook, discord, etc.)

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

No watch. I have a smart phone

WeLoveCastingSpellz, (edited ) in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I am a bit of diy tech fan, wanna try to buid my own smart watch one of these days

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

Regular watch. Don’t need to be hounded by any more notifications and don’t care about fitness data. However, it may be useful for people who need to keep track of texts, and fitness data.

TheBananaKing, in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?

It’s groupchat for social media apps.

If you’ve got just one app you use, and the admins go all Elon on the place, you either put up with it or you’re out in the cold.

If you have a hundred different apps - you don’t have that problem, but it’s a fragmented mess you can’t possibly keep track of.

But the fediverse gives you the best of both worlds. It’s hundreds of apps, but they each pull in the feed of all the others - and if the admins of any one app turn out to be evil clowns, the other apps can quietly snip them out of the feed, just like making a new groupchat with everyone but Karen in it.

It’s slowly coalescing into a handful of major cliques defined by the kinds of people they don’t want to talk to.

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

For me: good critical thinking skills, empathy, in touch with their emotions and loves reading books.

Bebo, in What setting do you use for Lemmy for active posts?

Top day on subscribed. Then if I have extra time I move on to top day all.

  • Like Reddit, KBin and Lemmy are 'link aggregators’
  • This means, in subject driven Communities (sub-reddits), people post links or images or their thoughts and others comment on them
  • Reddit is software that’s installed in one central location (server). This means it is owned and controlled by one single commercial entity.
  • Kbin and Lemmy are both software that are installed in multiple locations (servers), owned and controlled by multiple people and can be installed by anyone. This means no one can ever own or control the entirety of Lemmy.
  • Reddit, KBin and Lemmy can be accessed by users via websites or apps.
  • Reddit is centralised. If it disappeared tomorrow, it would be completely gone.
  • KBin and Lemmy are federated. If one instance (server) disappeared tomorrow, all the others would be unaffected and carry on as normal.
  • All instances of KBin and Lemmy can talk to all other instances of KBin and Lemmy, as long as they are federated.
  • Rule breaking and/or toxic instances/servers can be defederated by other servers/instances.
  • Reddit, KBin and Lemmy are all free to use. However, with Reddit you must contend with invasive privacy and advertising. The way to support KBin and Lemmy is to donate to the development team and the server/instance your account is on.
Illecors, (edited ) in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don’t do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise :::: spoiler ain’t nobody got time for that :( https://i.imgflip.com/1f0umb.jpg

Someone who can do a “pull the pork apart” robot attachment for a crock pot could probably make a pile of money.

Although now I’m imagining a little robot treading in the crock pot like old timey winemaking, where they stomped on the grapes.

Grandude,

A handheld mixer works great.

Candelestine,

Honestly, even just doing a whole shoulder with two forks only takes a few minutes. Though I don’t shred mine down all the way.

Also, if you have a crock pot or oven, the cooking process is very simple and hands-off as well.

Aviandelight,
@Aviandelight@mander.xyz avatar

I’ve been doing this monthly and freezing portions for those nights of the week I can’t be bothered to cook. So yummy.

hglman,

Instapot, just as good, 90 minutes

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

Edible yes, but smoked is the way to go.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

The worse part about smoking pulled pork is trying to roll it without mangling the paper.

Guest_User,

Do you use liquid smoke at all?

hglman,

No, for the instapot I usually make carnitas.

triptrapper,

Unless you finish it in the oven, you won’t get the Vital Crispies.

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

Indian food mostly, but only because the best places are a drive away.

IonAddis,
@IonAddis@lemmy.world avatar

What’s your favorite Indian dish?

vivadanang,

I like a big bowl of Rogan Gosht with some chicken biryani (my wife’s fav) and loads of naan. I’m not refined lol, just like that lamb and that chicken saffron yogurty stuff.

IonAddis,
@IonAddis@lemmy.world avatar

I frickin’ love lamb dishes, and I get so grumpy that lamb/mutton is unpopular in the US, so it’s hard to find. It’s tasty!

Pons_Aelius,

I frickin’ love lamb dishes

If you ever get a chance, try goat curries. They will rock your world.

Pat_Riot,
@Pat_Riot@lemmy.today avatar

Goat is even harder to find in the US.

jaybone,

Most Indian places will have a goat curry.

hardcore Mexican places make it... birria.

I go on Indian food kicks sometimes, where I’ll end up eating once or twice a week for months then I’ll go years without thinking about it again.
