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

I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type

I'm the opposite... I rarely reply when I'm on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.

Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.

Sent from my phone, slowly.

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.

voice call

Yeah, nah

It's a black rectangle!

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.

I can't set a reminder.

I said "Hey Google, set a reminder to feed the dog at 9am tomorrow" and it seems to work fine?

The one in my hand with a silicon case feels fine. Camera bump is only obnoxiously noticeable when it's naked.

Wow, I must have just snuck my install in...

Presumably this removal was accidental right?

I assume there are people who read these things, otherwise companies wouldn't send me so many of them. I seem to get daily spam from literally any company I've ever interacted with in any way, and they are long boys full of text and pictures that Thunderbird helpfully hides from me but I presume are full of jagged brightly coloured stars saying "DEAL DEAL DEAL" or whatever.

Mostly I click delete on these emails faster than the email client can even load them, but every so often I peruse a few sentences of the trade specific items that give a headline that promises actually interesting information... but its always just more marketing guff disguised as a news story.

It's obviously making someone money to spam the world constantly, so I assume someone is reading these things and acting on them.

  1. Who are you?
  2. Why are you interacting with the spam and making it viable for companies to keep sending it?
  3. What do you do that you have so much free time you can allocate some of it to consuming it?
