Sounds like an upside.

something buzzing on my wrist all the time would drive me batty

It’s the same when it’s in your pocket. I’d say the issue is not that it buzz all the time on your wrist, but that it buzz all the time. I disabled most notifications, except for a selection of people and apps. When I get a notification, it is usually important enough that I should check it. Everything else (including non-emergency work stuff) is checked on my own accord, when I feel like it.

Having the notifications pop on my wrist, with that system, does not feel like a shackle more than a phone constantly turning its screen on to tell you you have unread whatever.

So, someone plastering boobs on his truck is a missile target, but a musky orange tanking the world economy for a pump and dump isn’t?

Real hetero cis men only have sex with other real hetero cis men, preferably more than one at a time, to avoid lowering their male-ness. That’s the only way to keep our society alive, obviously.

Pfffrt. These jokers are such idiots.

Kinda like blaming a President at war for not saying “thank you” to its “benefactor” (despite having done so numerous times), no?

“I don’t understand, that user keeps asking me to fix their email, and they’re more angry each time!”

Which is probably why the decision was reverted.

Last time I had to wear glasses was during the heavy phase of covid, and wearing masks caused a LOT of fogging up. I’m sure that exact same reason made a lot of people aware of proper glass treatment.

Glasses are mildly inconvenient when it’s cold, somewhat inconvenient when you have to wear headgear that don’t take it into account, and very inconvenient when you have to move your head a lot or look down a lot. Anyway, I took the laser instead of the plastic bit that costs a lot and gets lost easily.

…and I keep wearing glasses anyway because the sun is still a thing that exists outside, anyway.

You should check. I’ve been surprised by the amount of “suggested accounts” on bluesky that were people I lost track of when quitting twitter.

So true. Two years ago I still used twitter for nsfw content, but even that got weird (and really suspicious sometimes).

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Not having to be available at the ready for people is great.

If you arrange for a call, through another asynchronous mechanism, then it’s fine. If you cold-call me to ask about the weather (or, more seriously, anything that could have been a text message), I’ll leave decapitated horse head in your fridge.

There’s a ton of great small scale things we can do with machine learning, and even LLM.

Unfortunately, it seems the main usages will be crushing people down even more.
