I’m actually surprised the robot mowers dont just bump off them to be honest, my Husqvarna 450X is barely an inch off the ground and just bumps in to anything higher than that then spins around and goes in another direction
Pretty much never. Direct family only really.
Talking is for IRL, or actually urgent things. Everything else is a message or email.
Don’t ring me to discuss an email.
It’s a black rectangle!
*gasps of admiration*
After reading the site, I’m still not entirely sure how to use it.
Is there a decent demo site somewhere? The examples they show are very simplistic
Whenever I see Lemmy without being logged in , it’s a wall of German and all I can think of is “ach, du lieber… das ist not eine booby!”
“A voice note is just like talking on the phone but better,” says Susie Jones, a 19-year-old student. “You get the benefits of hearing your friend’s voice but comes with no pressures so it’s a more polite way of communicating”.
Gross, voice notes are the worst of both worlds.
Text for things that are information critical, phone calls for things that are time critical.
Email for business (and keep the original chain going instead of starting a new one every time you think of something else to add!), text messages for associates, chat apps for friends and family.
Anyone who disagrees is wrong.
Wow, I must have just snuck my install in…
Presumably this removal was accidental right?
I was talking about something mainstream from oneplus, realme, etc.
Aye, no true Chinese phone maker would be a piece of crap
By this argument I could join a tennis tournament and take a shit on the court and punch the judge and you’d think that makes me a star player because people that don’t follow tennis heard of me.
Where did I say I thought they were a star? I just said they’re the only one I remember. If you shat on a tennis court in front of (hundreds of?) millions of people during a global broadcast event I reckon I’d remember you too.
Right, but you can see why from my perspective I would find my own mindshare the the most important?
From my point of view it certainly is
What’s the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster… But there’s no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren’t taking risks any more.
It’s previous phone release + .1
Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.
Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds…
I’ve had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.
Don’t recognise any of them. If they wanted some valuable mind share they should have tried harder to stand out.
Of all the people who took part in the breakdancing, I only remember one name… RAYGUN, pew pew.
I use to get a “trk special” at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.
It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.
Another one they added to their menu board was the “xxxx trucks special” which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.
No thank you Google
I report every mailing list email as spam, unless I specifically signed up for it.
So sick of, say, getting my car serviced… and next minute I’m getting email spam about deals on oil and air fresheners or something because deep down in the 14 pages of text they want you to accept while you’re standing at the counter is a pre-ticked box that says “allow us to spam you indefinitely?”. It’s not like I want to sign up for anything, but to get the oil changed on my Hyundai apparently I need an email address so they can send me confirmations of my appointment. Sounds legit… oh wait, actually its just an excuse to spam me about the new Kona.
We did a US trip last year and I was getting DAILY emails from Applebees because I put my email address in to get a copy of my receipt when I paid once. Who the heck wants DAILY spam about dinner ffs?
The first time I learned of its American naming was the classic “pound quake 3 arena” audio clip from the #quake3arena IRC channel.
“Uhhhhhh pound quake 3 arena”
“… What the hell was that?”
