I have stopped visiting Reddit after they dropped support for old.reddit.com. I use lemmy.world now. I did notice an increase in cat posts on Reddit before I quit

I have had bank accounts only with credit unions for the last 20 years. I have never found a need to open an account with one of the big banks. That said, people look at me like I’m crazy when I mention this.

Can a robot follow your instructions ? When you come back from your walk, can you shout from outside to have it open the door ? Can you also shout from outside to have it pack up the valuables and hand it over to you ?

seesaw — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 16:49:24 +0000

I had been a customer of Amazon for almost 20 years. I had Prime since day one. For me the breaking point was when they increased the fee and then decided to have ads for Prime Video. I sold the few Amazon stocks I had, and canceled Prime.

I found after I canceled Prime, my Amazon spending significantly went down. Sometimes I will add something to the cart, look at the shipping fee, and decide to abandon the cart. Canceling Prime made me realize I was ordering a lot of junk I didn’t need.

I switched from Apple Watch to a Garmin Venu. The battery lasts for a week, and many of the sensors are more accurate.

As an example, my power is generated by one company and distributed by PG&E. I pay $57 for power generation and $140 or so for distribution. PG&E reported close to [1] $2.5B profits for last year. My bills have been going up for $50/month to over $400/month in the last four years.

I had been an Apple Watch user until it died after I was in a water park. It is supposed to be waterproof, but I guess Apple wants me to refresh after two years.

I switched to a Garmin Venu 3. It is better than AW in many aspects, but is also lacking in some. But the Connect app is a lot better than Apple Health.

I wonder what happens to the gut bacteria ? Do they also freeze and get thawed ? If so, are those bacterium also having a special adaptation, or is it a function of the host ?

My experience is very similar. I believe there are two primary reasons for this: 1. People are wealthier, and wealthier people tend to be more independent. 2. Population density is higher. Places with lower density, such as villages still tend to have that people to people connection like in the old days

Same for me too. I tried different VR headsets, but could not use them for more than 15 minutes without getting dizzy.

I have recently become a fan of bone conducting head phones. These go behind the ears. Sound quality is good for listening to podcasts while walking. No wires. You can still hear the road noise, which is important when you are walking outside. It also feels more sanitary.

I canceled in protest. If enough people cancel, that would send a message that people won’t support ads. But I am probably an outlier.

Mine too. I spent over a decade thinking in Perl. While I have moved on, I still miss Perl, and hope it maintained its relevancy.

“The lawsuit filed in 2020 claimed Google misled users into believing that it wouldn't track their internet activities while using incognito mode. The suit argued that Google's advertising technologies and third-party websites that used Google Analytics or Google Ad Manager continued to catalog details of users' site visits and activities despite their use of supposedly "private" browsing, sending that information back to Google servers.”
