No vibration motor. Only a singular piezo beep. Also doesn't actually show content of a message, really just a high level info with an icon for the type. I do not use mine for notifications at all. I just wanted a digital watch that happened to track HR, steps, and sleep.

I mean honestly it sounds kind of ideal! And a good price too!

Actually it appears Zepp will directly connect to Apple Health. https://support.zepp.com/us/faq/170

Cool, this is promising then. I'm going to have to look into this more, thanks!

I've had mine since March and it's been pretty great so far. I have questioned 'jail breaking' it to use gadgetbridge instead of zepp, but I haven't been bothered to as of yet.

I have two criteria for this kind of thing. The sleep tracking has to be automatic, not requiring turning it on at night, and there has to be an API or it has to sync to Apple Health. Do you know if it has these?

this tweet was brought to you by me being frustrated at my Fitbit watch and realizing the only thing I really want a watch to do is tell time and be a calculator, neither of which the Fitbit does well

Oh wow, this looks really interesting! I don't know how I've never heard of it before!

TIL you can still buy Casio calculator watches on Amazon, but they are "vintage" now

Well it wouldn't be liveestreaming if my computer didn't crash and everything stopped working 10 minutes before I hit live right? 🤣

This is why I don't like livestreaming using computers 🙈

OMG! Have the iPad and magic keyboard...continually trying to wipe the onscreen touchpad cursor off. 🤦‍♂️

a coworker set his Slack profile picture to a thin light grey curved line and the entire company kept trying to brush the hair off their laptop screens every day

Hey youtubers: myself and 3 youtubers want to do a group chat and stream it live to youtube. What's the cheapest and most reliable way to do this? It'll probably be a few hours long. Streamyard? Realstream? Skype via OBS? I've never hosted so could use some input.

Streamyard by far is the simplest option. Lots of other good options but most of them will require more fiddling on either the host or guest side.

@ton @wouter Also, Aperture, his social feed aggregator, allows for filtering/muting entries by type, though this generally only works for h-feeds (for which it works really well). I myself don't offer a likes RSS feed, although one could always "generate" one using a service like Granary. On side note: one thing I dislike about "IndieWeb" RSS feeds is the lack of context for replies, bookmarks, etc. (There's many more things I dislike about a whole lot of RSS feeds out there.)

That's mostly a limitation of RSS, not the fault of any one website in particular. That's the reason we're moving to h-feed, so that the context of replies and such *can* be included in the feed. Take a look at my replies page for example https://aaronparecki.com/replies

About six months late to the party on this meme, but fuck it, here goes.

Portlanders: if you used the bathroom at La Luna, you do not have to worry about what's in the vaccine.

umm so this is awkward… my high school took over that building after La Luna closed so yes I have used that restroom quite a lot thank you
