otter, (edited ) to asklemmy in Low effort posts

Repetitive meme posts can get annoying, and mods should intervene in some cases, but I’d prefer if the rules were more open. It’s hard to determine what is “low effort” and “thought-provoking”, and Lemmy is small so further limiting content isn’t that productive

Was this the post? lemmy.ca/post/9681692

I think people using this community are looking for something similar to AskReddit, and it’s totally ok if you want to be different from that since the Fediverse allows for more communities to be made.

Personally, (and you don’t need to run the community like this), I’m looking for a community for open-ended and discussion provoking questions, not necessarily thought-provoking questions. The stick one was fun and lead to fun discussion

otter, to asklemmy in What kind of wearable device do you want? Assuming it will work and feel like you imagine it would

That’s true, I already get annoyed with my watch sometimes

Having a mechanical arm would be pretty cool actually, and it already exists. It wouldn’t work for all cases, but maybe some times

otter, to asklemmy in What kind of wearable device do you want? Assuming it will work and feel like you imagine it would

Not wanting anything is fair, but the intent here was the best case scenario (even unrealistically so). So the device would not have anything you don’t want, ads and security issues included

Again, not wanting any device is cool too

otter, to piracy in PSA: There are paid services that use residential/clean (not identified as VPN) IP address VPNs/proxies that allow you to watch Hulu etc in other countries.

Sometimes live content (ex. Sports) or lesser known international content can’t be pirated as easily

Oh woah that’s cool

I was picturing something like this at first

Well, it meets the requirements so here you are :)

Also I think this one wins, since it can become any of the other ones

Being able to lie down with them would be really nice

otter, (edited ) to asklemmy in Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?

It could help in a lot of other crises too

During a natural disaster, you could jump back and forth carrying aid in, and the wounded people out. In any time sensitive crisis, you could get people out of harms way. This bit is more complicated, but you could potentially help out during floods and fires, depending on how far the ‘teleport other stuff with you’ extends to.

A reasonable limit might be ‘Only what you could physically carry yourself’, in which case you’d need to be a lot more strategic. In that case, you could work on personal strength and be a one-human-rescue-team. When there isn’t a disaster, you could probably shuttle light weight (but important) stuff for a fee, then use that money to fund your own charity to do good


As for this prompt, you could probably just teleport away when someone might see you, or teleport to spots that people can’t see. So you could do most things that invisibility would allow

Well sure, but encrypted backups are still secure. What’s not secure (or private rather) is someone realizing they can’t have a backup of important chats and going back to Facebook Messenger.

Backups are a thing on Android, and they’re planned for iOS. It just hasn’t happened yet. People can choose what they want to backup and when they want disappearing messages turned on.

The process is a bit involved on mobile. Setting up a backup location, using a third party app to sync updates and deletions etc. It could be simplified by integrating with common cloud storage services (the encrypted file)

Also iOS doesn’t have backups at all last I checked. If you lose your phone the messages are toast

The biggest thing for me right now is backups

I can’t comfortably recommend it to people that will lose access if they lose their phones / upgrade without following the process perfectly

Have a casio you recommend?

A big positive for driving over transit is being able to bring extra stuff that you might need

A bag of holding would fix that. 100% prepared, all the time

I remember seeing something like that for posture, could repurpose it

The hope here was that the device would work the way we want them to

So locally processed data, no tracking (unless you want to track your location intentionally) etc.
