Among other things that are useless in the smartphone era, I like watches. I have several inexpensive Swatch and Casio ones.
I did find the idea of smartwatch appealing at first: you can control music player without taking your phone out of your pocket and preview incoming messages…
I got one of the early smartwatches as a present to my friend for his birthday, had an opportunity to play around with it and… never got one for myself. I don't get the health monitoring features at all 🤷
@neural_meduza Мне он всегда нравился, но после такого ему уже пора завести страницу в Fediverse! 🐶

I agree! If a woman is interested in you, she'll listen to you talking about weird computer shit for hours with genuine excitement. I remember telling girls in my high school about FidoNet and they were like: "Whoah! 😲"
And I knew a fair share of girls who were more tech-savvy than most guys — doesn't matter.
I just like the joke that you can't get laid without having Netflix subscription and such, so I play along 😄

But I do have an iPhone! A vintage one!
In fact, most of my hardware is Apple's, but some of it is even more "vintage" than that iPhone, is that girl prepared to handle that? Now that I think of it, some is probably even older than the girl 🤣

@neural_meduza Электроголовка, это как в Space Truckers что ли?

Отлично, но бросать стрелять по посетителям — преждевременно 😅
@thatbrickster
Being Apple abusers is what cool kids do nowadays! Like getting an M1 Mac and putting Linux on it 😅
@MischievousTomato @mangeurdenuage
@dommymommy What's old by Fedi standards? And do replies count as posts per day?
Anyway, it looks like it's the bottom row for me and although I do tell my friends I now have a social media account, I also tell them what Fedi is like and they are NOT interested 🤣
@thor I'd like to see their monastery 😅
@Mitsu Looks like something straight out of NetHack's false fortune cookies 😆
This song is called "Civil war. Offensive". And the band's name can be translated as "Polite refusal". It's something like Russian art-rock. The song is as you may have guessed about civil war that took place between dissolution of Russian Empire and formation of Soviet Union. It references some historical figures of that era. Song has a sequel called "Civil war. Retreat".
You should see these guys live even if it's performance for TV or radio. They are good!
@rootbsd
IMO this has nothing to do with age, some are like that since their high school years 😅
But I think I know what you mean — if you're looking for a tradcon (let's call her that for good laugh's sake) type of girl, she'd probably be married and have kids by that age, and she won't be interested in "dating".

Family guy is fine. The other one… where dad's a fed and they have an alien instead of a dog is okay too. Rick and Morty on the other hand is not my cup of tea at all. I get it, it's got more "nerdy" pop-culture references and maybe some like it more, but the show itself is too obvious and straightforward, eh 😩
@kotik Here are my cats: Lisa and Grigory Tikhonovich (I know some of his ancestors and call him that 😹)
They are mild-mannered cats usually, but each has weird habits of its own: Lisa likes carrying her toys in her mouth and puts them in front of you, implying you should play with her. She prefers company of humans she knows well though. Grisha on the other hand likes any human company he can get. Big noisy party? You've got it covered — he'll be there sitting on someone's lap! He's very social
@kaede Long bus rides are great! That was my preferred way to read Ulysses by James Joyce: I was buying a bus ticket and went for a long ride, if I got tired from reading, I could just fall asleep and no one cared — it was long time ago, there was no COVID or possibility to get conscripted, and I felt a lot safer in Moscow in general at that time. Waking up in another part of the city does feel surreal, it's the same with trains, but usually can't just go home easily after that 😊
@Arcana And it's getting worse, many "desktop" apps are just websites running in Chromium, WTF! 🤬

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
