I can charge mine when I shower and get dressed, and sometimes when I brush my teeth and feed the pets at night - about 30-60 minutes a day total. I wear it the other 23-23.5 hours, including sleep with the AutoSleep app. It sometimes gets down to 20% before charging.

If it didn’t charge so fast then it would be an issue for me.

First I would support campaign finance reform and watch 90% of the problems be solved.

Then I would tackle the other 10% by making voting more accessible - especially in primaries. Make it so accessible that even young voters bother to do it. That way people will choose younger reps more often.

So no, I wouldn’t support putting a bandaid on one issue and ignoring the root causes.

It’ll be interesting to see if it applies to facial recognition. In iOS, at least, you need to look at the phone to unlock it. That’s an intentional action. If you look to the side or close your eyes, it won’t work.

So if you’re conscious, you can’t easily be forced to unlock the phone with your face and eyes if you’re able to resist. But if you’re unconscious, then maybe they could use your face (assuming your eyes aren’t rolled back into your head because the cops gave you brain damage.)

It’s also an easy way to show new users one basic front-facing feature on Lemmy that is different from Reddit - which is a good idea on its own, but especially because Reddit used to display upvotes/downvotes this way and then removed it entirely, probably for manipulative reasons.

It’s good to be able to customize, but better to have the default option be an improvement over the alternative. Even more-so when the change isn’t jarring.

Oh no it’s him, the Algorithm

iOS has it as well.

I think they meant in the future when the form factor is the same as wearing glasses.

My glasses are on my face every minute of every day, except when showering and sleeping. I’m uncomfortable when they’re not there - and not just because I can’t see, but because I’m so used to it.

That’s probably the future - people being uncomfortable if a screen isn’t in their vision every waking moment, because it’s as physically comfortable and as “normal” as wearing glasses, and more comfortable than looking down at a phone.

It’d be an amazing feat for technology, but similarly as dystopian as having a social media-feeding PC in your pocket, or just any PC if you’re another generation older. Future people will eat it up though, just like we eat up the phones.

Now I’m imagining marketing where the old millennials are staring at their phones, and the young people are complaining about how grandpa never engages with other human beings or makes eye contact - but they’re still scrolling TikTok while talking to him.

I haven’t played every COD by any means, but my understanding is that you stopped on a good note. Every recent COD I’ve tried feels like an absolute mess - mostly because of the aggressive cash shops that bog down the menus, and immersion-breaking skins/tracers etc. which I personally don’t enjoy seeing at all, like a gorilla and the clown from Saw. There are always bugs and crashes that literally never get fixed. Regardless of all that, they generally feel soulless and sloppy. There aren’t many FPS offerings these days, and Activision clearly knows they don’t need to be competitive. They just push a new one out the door every year, knowing fans love to hate the games and buy them religiously.

I did enjoy MW 2019 for a while, but MW2 did not hit the spot. Vanguard was extremely disappointing. Before those, my last COD was BO2. I’ve been on the fence lately about buying BO3 (2015) for a good zombies experience every time I see it on sale. But I know I would be playing solo because of the veteran stage those zombies players are in, and I have a feeling I’d get screeched at if I don’t know every meta strategy, so I end up passing on it every time.

Personally I’d say skip the Sledgehammer games and be skeptical and cautious about IW games, but give Treyarch’s next BO game a try if it doesn’t turn out to be an obvious bomb.

They’re almost all wildly successful and popular though, so there must be many fans who disagree - YMMV.

I like how they made the logo look like it says “ADS” throughout.

It’s frustrating to see peoples’ imaginations run wild with AI. They’re not building “sentient” machines. There will never be machines that are sentient in anything other than appearance, and we’re notoriously easy to fool in that way.

My favorite way to describe AI that I’ve heard is “applied statistics.” It’s basically just processing huge amounts of data, very fast, simultaneously, and then presenting conclusions that are usually very likely.

Yes, it will be used to make weapons that are horrifically efficient, but likewise it will be used to make defenses that are equally efficient.

I think the good will ultimately outweigh the bad. Hopefully by a long shot.

Try https://lemmyverse.net/communities

It has the sort/filter options I think you’re looking for, and it doesn’t limit info to your instance’s perspective. (It always shows all instances, even if your home instance hasn’t made a connection to one yet, and it shows total subscribers across all instances.)

Click the !URL for an instance to copy it, then paste it in your home instance search bar to go there and subscribe.

Another useful resource is c/trendingcommunities@feddit.nl - not helpful for searching, but handy to check daily after you’ve built your subscriptions and want to see suggestions for growing communities.

Regular search features are lacking a bit due to the nature of federated servers. Hopefully these features will be added someday. Till then, dedicated sites like lemmyverse seem to be the best option.

What the spiders don’t know is that I’m also allied with the house centipedes. And neither of them know about my treaty with the cats.

They’re separate and you should probably just join them all. There’s a ton of “gaming” communities, for example. There’s no reason for them to feel they’re competing, since people can just join them all and they can have their own separate rules. I think over time some will naturally become more popular and others will die off. Depends on the mods and how they manage it, really, plus other organic factors. But they are literally just different, unique communities. Consider the @instance to be an important part of the community name.

I imagine apps will eventually allow you to group communities under custom “topics” or something, so it seems cohesive from the users’ perspective. If you’re familiar with Apollo, you could create “Multi-Reddits” for a custom feed with any subs you put in each Multi-Reddit. It was super useful. I had one for gaming, one for news, one for cats. In this case where so many have the same name, it would be helpful to have a reminder label when you comment or post so you see exactly where you’re posting, and maybe a helpful link to the sidebar so you can double check the rules for that particular community. Maybe the Lemmy devs will even add an option for the communities to group together on their end somehow, someday, while still maintaining their decentralized independence.

The sky’s the limit for what may happen in the coming months/years, and improvements are happening fast. For now, enjoy the fact that there are many community options. I don’t see it as a problem, but a feature of decentralization.

You can always group them yourself, if you want, by creating a different account for each topic you’re interested in and only subscribing to a narrow number communities on that account. That way your home tab on one account would show all the gaming or cat pic communities you chose. Then switch back to your ”main” account for all the beans memes, etc.

Also, if you’re searching from your instance or in an app, you may not be seeing all the communities that exist if your instance hasn’t already connected to them. You also don’t see how many total users across all instances are subscribed - just the number of your local instance users that subscribed. So check out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for a better and more complete way to find and view communities and their stats - especially if you’re looking for the largest ones. Copy the full URL (starting with the !) and then paste it in your app’s search bar for a foolproof way to get to it.
