only outsider info based on GitHub stats and Discord.

yes, of course, one should also get the custom screen. offers a little more in terms of displaying.

not just OG ... also OSS as opposed to Ollee

I really like my F91W case with a Sensor Watch Pro board and accelerometer sensor.

My favorite features:

- Piezo alarm is much louder.

- Countdown time can be incremented by tapping the watch.

- LED color can be changed by adjusting RGB values.

- It features sunrise/-set and moon phase info/calendar.

- I changed the week day names to German abbreviations.

- There are lots of intriguing watch faces that you can compile into your firmware.

Sadly, the project is in some disarray as the originator apparently lost interest and the community isn't moving uniformly. Would love to see such a project for Casio with 4 buttons as this would allow for a lot more interesting use cases ... the pinnacle would be a board for their calculator watches. That would be rad.

The Sensor Watch forum on Discord is pretty active.

the engagement argument could be applied to every commercial service or product. anything that is sold is getting optimized for appeal/attraction/engagement/adictiveness.

care to provide examples?

you go from software releases to "Our entire purpose and joy in life has been taken from us." ... maybe your spiritual challenges are not caused by AI after all.

+1 (as a millenial) ... especially given that setting up a git server for non-OSS company code isn't too much of a challenge really. also, no need to self-denigrate this reasonable opinion in preemptive obedience.

the "albeit" gives away that the person you're responding to intended to write "unintentionally".

I agree. Maybe that example was chosen because what chose it was an LLM fed with data up until about 2025 and nowadays that is sadly what "hacking" has become - cartoonish, pointless toy projects ... like the infamous make Doom run on a washing machine.

you're moving the goal post as language models and agents aren't marketed as something like circular saw but a team of carpenters that you just tell what you want and they do it for you.

most medical professions have higher rate. it's usually attributed to being constantly subjected to pain and suffering plus physicians can source pharmaceuticals to exit softly. never heard that it professionals are particularly prone to suicide.

i'm pretty sure that segment has lower than average suicide rate. well paid, well educated.

As someone who grew up with Windows the canonical equivalent action would have been to select "install" from the dmg file's context menu (which is opened by a right click). The MacOS way to do it feels too gimmicky and different-for-being-different's sake ...

also the retrograde auto corrections drive me nuts ... like i type a word (correct) then next word and it adjusts the previous word. attempted several times to deactivate that "feature" - didn't figure out how.

> In January 2024, after it came out that far right politicians had talked about deporting people who already hold a German passport

That is - as determined by a German court - something between fake news and severely distorted representation of what happened.

"senior developer deliberately self-sabotaged side-hustle by unnecessarily using kubernetes and kafka instead of docker and rabbitmq - where his employers safe?"

next time fifa will introduce the pee break 10 minutes after the hydration break

being good at fighting fires is part of the problem as that allows people to keep natural limited area fires from happen regularly and then eventually you get one huge fire.

don't forget the legal costs insurance to pay the lawyer making the LTD insurance actually pay and a second legal costs insurance to pay the lawyer suing the primary LCI as they will likely claim that case isn't covered by their policy.

what is the appeal of cassette sound effects / analog cassette sounds? is it nostalgia?

> AI contributions

using AI is not vibe coding. the difference is whether a developer takes responsibility and the according measures before releasing/contributing or not.

Not just an issue with Walkmans but also other device types like digital cameras and Mp3 players. Sad because it seems like more and more people discover the appeal of dedicated devices versus carrying a smartphone around all the time.

I offer this lesseon: don't bother trying to impress "the average person" (or anybody). do what gives you joy.

is it just me or is this one-upping each other every few days getting ridiculous secreting a whiff of desperation?

okay, beerware, then.

are you speaking from experience?

There's a special rung in hell for people who waste good Orval.

the key differentiator is it's driven by open source software and leaves you in control over your data. i shouldn't have to tell you this. given the price point nobody would buy this watch for its technological aspects.
