  • Years ago I purchased a Fossil Explorist Q wearable smartwatch. The first software update, about a month after I bought it, turned the device from a functional smartwatch into a brick that was so slow it was nearly nonfunctional.

    The device was not powerful enough to run all the spyware they tried to pack into that update, turning it into an on wrist heater, occasionally getting Hot enough to burn me.

    I’ve never seen a device so thoroughly destroyed by enshittification so quickly. That’s experience turned me off of wearables forever. Maybe I’ll make my own someday. Maybe I’ll get a Pebble now that they’re back-ish. I’ll never get anything with wearOS on it again. Hell after the last year I might never get something with Android/iOS again either.




  • Porcine slang is quite versatile in English!

    Pig: someone unkempt or otherwise undesirable.

    Pig: an officer of the law.

    Hog: to keep all or most of something to oneself.

    Hog: a motorcycle, specifically a Harley Davidson or Indian Motorcycles style bike, rather than a sport-bike

    Hog: I’m jorkin it right now, and by it, let’s just say…

    Swine: a relatively outdated generic insult (ex “you uncultured swine”)

    Pig-out: to engage in excess, to act as a glutton.




  • People I know who don’t like Cats don’t like them because they expect them to allow them to cross all their boundaries like dogs do. You can’t expect a basically wild predator to respect your boundaries, you can however respect its boundaries and that is where the folks I’ve met who dislike Cats fail. They try to hold it and get scratched because it didn’t like it. They overstimulate it and get scratched because the cat didn’t like it. I’ve seen SO many people who dislike Cats because they don’t understand how to approach an animal with caution and respect, and think that because the wild predator responded to discomfort the way a wild predator would do, that Cats are bad or evil.

    Edit, to clarify, my comment was about people who say Cats are evil, not about people who simply don’t like them.
