Holy crap that sounds godawful. Do what you’re doing and dance on command when the randomly timed notification comes in? Sounds fun to do on a lark when you open the app because you’re having a boring day or something, but as a daily thing?

Not during the strike they’re not…

Discord is sooo awful imo. Every server has annoying “rule bots” or people constantly changing the look/feel of the channels or trying to engage you with @all or @channel (which you can ignore but it’s still annoying)… even the more technical ones have the same vibe. IRC is so much easier to communicate in IMO.

Not just that, but it’s impossible to find a colour laser that’ll do 11x17 and duplex. I think my only option is a small office printer lease.

It’s a compromise; the discussions aren’t lost, Reddit doesn’t get to have the data anymore, but like you said, there’s no engagement. The engagement needs to occur over here with new topics, possibly linking back to the copied old ones.

Mine lasts about 3 days before I have to charge it, but I’m also largely ignoring it and use it as a watch / timer / notification reader. I had one with the cell modem but when I broke it was during the pandemic and just wasn’t on-site where I’d often leave my phone at the desk.

This. Trying to find anything in a brick and mortar store in the last decade has been such a godawful experience that I don't feel the least bit sorry for them. Groceries are largely delivered (not using Instacart, but the store's own delivery or pickup service), tech stuff is all aliexpress or amazon, clothing I still largely go in to buy, but don't buy very often. Appliances? Research the shit out of it online and usually order online from a local retailer with a decent website. Heck, even hardware is online through Home Depot and auto stuff is either rockauto or similar.
