@ttyS1 in my case, I have an ancient Fitbit I was using only for step tracking and silent alarms. This could potentially replace it for both (and replace my regular watch for telling the time :)). This could also vibrate (and point the hand at one of four coloured circles imho) for other notifications if I wanted (new email etc) but I’m not expecting to use that
@ttyS1 battery life on the hybrid is 6-12 months. Feature wise it’s bare bones compared to yours: step tracking; some notifications via vibrate; time auto adjust from phone time. The UI is literally the watch hands: press a button on rim to request say, step target progress, and the hour hand will zoom around to indicate, then return
@ttyS1 non-screen basically. I’ve ended up taking a punt on this one: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/skagen-holst
When you use a tooth brush, afterwards, is it clean? After the rinse, is it clean? The next day, you reuse it right? So it’s clean? What if you left it a week or a month?
@fthevenet I don’t remember there being as much hype, no. The anti-mono thing was driven by misguided concern about patents iirc. People developing with mono lost enthusiasm as a result. Some pretty cool apps bit rotted, and (imho) the Linux desktop (gnome in particular) was set back years. For Rust, I get that the mania is annoying. But frankly eg oppositional comments on LWN articles (which is what prompted my toot) are as bad or worse: https://lwn.net/Articles/986540/
Folks running container services for personal use: how do you keep track of security issues, updates, etc?
@pwaring I’ve seen a lot of the knee-jerk stuff, and it’s escalated beyond reactions to articles about rust, to articles adjacent to rust (like a recent uv one on LWN). I can appreciate people getting tired of the “rewrite the world” attitude, but I’m not sure that frustration should be externalised.
I’m seeing more and more backlash to Rust (recently an ugly LWN comment thread on an article about uv, a python tool that only happens to be written in Rust) and I’m finding it alarming. Trying to think of another technology that suffered some backlash like that and the closest I can think of is the misguided anti-mono stuff at the turn of the century.
I’ve been reading about HTMX to try and not completely lose touch with tech (even if it’s far from what I do) whilst off ill. I’m loving what I’ve learned about it so far!
