I ran my Pebble Time into the ground, so I’m hyped as fuck for this. I bought it in my early highschool years and wore it nearly daily until last year when the rumble motor finally gave out. Still wear it from time to time, but it not buzzing for notifications is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

I bought a replacement and it’s so pristine I didn’t want to risk slowly damaging it at work, but now I’m charging that bitch up and running it into the ground until new Pebble comes out. Thanks for sharing OP, this news made me week!

Bonus, here’s what mine looked like as of a few years ago right when the vibration went out. You can see I slapped a skin on it to cover up the bezel scratches, but the screen still looks totally fine!

If I had to pick some of my favorites:

• BuzzKill, Gives you total control over your notifications. I use it to auto clear apps that think they need to have a persistent notification like VPNs, Smart Watches, etc.
• DuckDuckGo, For their very useful, (In my opinion) app tracking protection proxy that they have built into the app.
• GAMEYE, For tracking my physical games collection and my extensive Amiibo collection.
• Grayjay & Revanced , For when I want to watch YouTube on mobile.
• Image Toolbox, Great for doing a whole bunch of different things. Works especially well for image related tasks, but does more stuff than that too.
• LocalSend, Airdrop but cross platform and open source. Really good.
• Privacy, An app that links to your bank account and lets you make virtual cards to obfuscate your real debit card. Super useful as well for setting up with subscriptions so you can just turn the individual card off instead of having to go find the subscription cancel option for each service.
• p!n, A very simple app that adds a quick actions menu button to pin a notification. I use it to essentially add reminders and notes to my notifications real quick.
• rdx, A simple Reddit viewer for when I have to view a Reddit link for any reason. shudders
• Shortcut Maker, Super useful app for when I’m not using Niagara Launcher. Let’s you make home screen app like shortcuts for a wide variety of things, including going to specific settings, launching specific sets of apps, and way more. Used to be my favorite app before I got into Niagara.
• URLCheck, Acts as a middle man after I click a link, telling me a bunch of info about it before letting me pick which browser I want to open it in.
• Niagara Launcher, my launcher of choice. Not for everyone, but I have found it makes navigating my phone super fast. I have tried so many different ones, but the fact that the app drawer is always on open on the home screen and I can navigate to each letter quickly made it the best for me.

Anyway yeah, those are some of the ones I use frequently. Sorry for not linking to them, but it would have taken forever lol.

Just started using Image Toolbox a few weeks ago, shits fucking dope.

Not original commenter, but I got the hell off of Swiftkey after Microsoft bought it for privacy purposes. That could be why.

Had this phone, Google pushed an OS update that caused the bootloader to get corrupted on a factory reset. Tried to tell me I had to pay them to get the motherboard replaced even though their faulty ass update broke the phone. Three months out of warranty. Never buying a pixel again.

I’m so hyped for that DLC. I’m hoping it makes VS even more expensive and fun. It’s a match made in heaven.

That’s my favorite Castlevania game!! Good luck with your runs! I’m so hyped for the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC.

Just got into Metaphor ReFantazio! Just reached the first major dungeon and so far I am very impressed. Quite a lot of great QOL stuff over the Persona series, and it has a very well written story with a very unique vibe so far.

I personally think I still prefer the vibe of Persona over Metaphor, but this is seriously a really cool game. I highly recommend you try out the Prologue demo even if you’ve never played Persona before or don’t care for JRPGs, because this is something truly different and I think there’s still a chance you might like it. The demo is super meaty too since it’s literally just the first four hours or so of the game.

Rural American here. We drive 30 mins to the nearest bigish city to do all of our grocery shopping every weekend.

Have Eclipse on my list up next after I finish up Astro Bot. Happy to see it getting good reviews!

Damn it’s sad that this post even exists. I hope things get better for you chief.

Just saw a post about this on TikTok and every one in the comments where cracking jokes and basically saying it was good she died. Couldn’t believe it. Whether or not you agree with how she ran YouTube, there’s no reason to be so cruel to a parent who died just after having to bury their own child. Glad Lemmy is being more thoughtful and respectful about this horrible situation.

Since people are sharing their weather apps, I use Breezy Weather! Multiple sources, lots of info, FOSS, what’s not to like. I tried multiple sources untill I found one that was the most accurate for me.

Wow they blocked wine? That sucks wow. I bet that means Steam Deck compatibility is a no go now too huh. That really is too bad.

Haven’t personally used it but I heard there is a native Roblox client for Linux called Grapejuice. Might be worth looking into to solve one problem. I have no idea if it’s good or not but here’s a link: https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice/

Woah that seems really neat!! Thanks for telling me. Damn it’s moments like these I wish Lemmy had awards. So helpful. 🏅

Hey I decided to download Obsidian and give it another shot. Have you tried migrating any databases to the database plugin? How comparable is it to using them in Notion?

Thanks for letting me know, the few times I had tried Obsidian in the past I was unaware of plugins. Sounds like some of them might be adding the functionality I’m looking for! I’ll definitely check it out again soon!

I know people are going to come for me for this one, but definitely Notion. I know I don’t own my data and what not, really would love to switch to Obsidian at some point, but I have trouble with markdown and I really prefer “What you see is what you get” editors. I have Notion databases for keeping track of physical video games I own, I write all of my notes for D&D campaigns in there, I have a reminders and to-do page. It’s slow, it’s not very privacy focused, but it’s a dead simple and very feature packed tool to organize virtually anything.
