This reminds me of why Dieter Rams never designed a car: "Rams expressed irritation that the automotive industry has historically focused on building faster cars rather than rethinking the transportation system as a whole to genuinely serve society."

My problem with F-Droid has always been the lack of app reviews: no way to separate the good from the ugly and the bad.

Great unbiased write up on the recent Rebble vs Core kerfuffle.

When you turn Notifications off for showing, they're just in the "inbox" & won't show on the watchface when received. You can then just access them whenever you want from the menu OR you can create a button shortcut that activates when pressing down.

FYI the previous generation of Pebble OS did not have a message counter, but this generation will apparently add this to its complications.

New comment by hauget in "Mozilla to shut down Pocket and Fakespot"

hauget — Wed, 28 May 2025 20:35:55 +0000

RE: Pocket, I could care less as I've been an Instapaper user for years, but it does give one a hint at the direction Mozilla has been on for a number of years now...

RE: Fakespot, this one really really hurts. Even if the ratings weren't accurate sometimes, it helped guide me in the direction of finding and distinguishing bad/fake products from good (or good enough). I always wondered what their business model was... Sad to see that their competitor Reviemeta also died out. Is there no hope for an alternative to these? Any thoughts on making a service like Fakespot and having it be profitable or at least self-sustaining? I can only think of a subscription service for having curated reviews, maybe prioritizing reviews from susbscribers...

I hope they succeed. Would buy this if it worked offline. Wish Pebble hadn't gone broke and had launched their Pebble Core device. Always thought it was a great idea.

His point is with regards to reaching & maintaining profitability, not revenue spending.

This is easy to fix IMHO. Pair a small screen in the future for typing or have a cuff link mic for whispering. You will see accessories like these pop up in the near future.

The First Amendment of the US Constitution defines free speech as protection from government interference in free expression. Twitter is a corporation, free speech laws don’t apply. It can ban anyone it likes. This is perfectly legal.

Why not just go through MIT's open courseware syllabus, or perhaps emailing/contacting a university teacher for guidance?

Q: Would you trust, or find useful, thumbs up reviews from people you follow online? Say you could see a collection of stuff people endorse via Twitter/IG, would that be of value to you?

I loved my W-735H! Wore it for a long time as it's great for Pomodoro. Gave it to a friend after I replaced my trusty Polar m430 for a Garmin Instinct as it has a vibrating function AND the ability to program multiple countdown timers. After a few months though, I started missing the dedicated vibrating function and bought a used GD-350 off Ebay. It has basically the same features, BUT looks way better, is a G-SHOCK and has a dedicated timer starter button. Still prefer the Instinct as I can have multiple countdown timers already programmed, but the GD-350 is still a gem of a watch.
