That sounds horrible, literally couldn’t own anything nice without it getting stolen and your personal space getting trashed…

To combine a bunch of explanations I’ve seen in the comments here:

A bourgeois philanthropist game show producer who dabbles in poverty porn.

That said, I do occasionally burn time watching some of his videos, however some of the content (especially the more recent game show ones which feel a bit like toying with people) rub me the wrong way.

I have no idea if his philanthropy efforts are genuine or not - he’s barely visible in those videos (he has another individual hosting those videos) although I do appreciate the efforts they appear to go to when assisting communities desperately in need, and careful implementation of solutions that are sustainable, and can actually be maintained and fixed with local knowledge.

I’ve seen way too many “gimmicky” charity contributions by other organizations that become worthless as soon as they break because nobody fixes them, as well as other solutions that seemingly make sense from a western cultural lens but aren’t really understood by the local people… worst one being a “merry-go-round” water pump mechanism where senior locals are forced to “play” just to pump water for survival. It was originally intended as a kids toy, but they of course don’t have any attachment to such a foreign device, thus don’t use it.

Ehhh apologies for the mini rant there 😅

Curious about this one too

Precisely this

Mine can also dehydrate food super quickly with a variable fan speed, which my traditional oven can’t do without burning through a ton of unnecessary energy

Micromobility is pretty active if you’re interested in product coverage and news. As for more organic content, it’s pretty infrequent in any of the existing bicycle communities ☹️

After one Google search on my work laptop I was looking for searx instances - a lot of those were going down too due to rate limiting 😭

I personally think some types of openly developed software projects should have a strict non-commercial license: if companies aren’t willing to contribute back to the source IMO they shouldn’t be granted permission to freeload & have volunteers fix issues their paying customers run into

Donations are possibly a bit of an exception here - there are quite a few companies that still do this, albeit growing slimmer by the day.

Another big problem IMO is the subset of users that start attacking maintainers and volunteers because their “free app stopped working” etc. I see that a lot, mostly in the arduino community, but especially egregiously on the Zabbix project - I imagine a lot of those users are companies who aren’t even paying/donating to the project

shudders thinking about SAO

Are you planning to make your own OS for the watch? If so, there’s another smartwatch project called the “SQFMI Watchy” which is an esp32 combined with an e-ink display, RTC and some other sensors.

While I would highly suggest supporting the creators, there are clones on Aliexpress that may more readily ship out to your country

Never knew Wendover and HAI were run by the same person, wow 😳

I’ve only become aware of these updates today - not fully caught up with the details, but I wish you the best and hope for a positive outcome with everything going on.

It’s disappointing that some users can’t help but violate others’ boundaries and harass, especially on a topic as sensitive as healthcare.

Sharing a digital hug/handshake/best regards from me to you!

What an insensitive, absolute piss poor take - especially considering the sensitive nature of the discussion topic. Would have cost you literally nothing to keep this to yourself.

Seems way more effective than LibreAV, which just looks at app permissions

Music artists? Bands? Mountain names? Types of peppers? Either one would spice things up a bit I think lol

I’m a bicycle rider who’s also learning to drive - the one thing I’ve found is that it’s very easy to end up hidden behind a driver’s A pillar.

In driving lessons I try to move around in the seat more to see around them, and when I’m riding my bicycle I try and position myself in areas where I can be easily seen, using lights whenever possible to additionally provide a reflection off the road in dark conditions.

Being hidden behind the pillar is really scary because you’re literally not seen at all

Thank you for the extra info and clarification!

This kind of stuff is making me consider stopping my donations to the Lemmy project, and instead donating to the Sublinks drop-in replacement developed by the programming.dev instance admins

The nightmare PS2 dirty disc screen, and mainstream multiplayer games without anticheat rootkits

Edit: mainstream
