That’s how Google always worked, btw. But there is one obvious benefit to showing the original URL before you click it, you can hover it to see where the link actually leads before they hijack the click.

I’m not criticizing the screens, they are ok and I loved my Pebble Time Steel until the battery swelled and popped off the screen. I’m just saying that calling these e-paper is a deceptive marketing strategy.

From the Verge article:

The first watch that Migicovsky and Core plan to ship is called the Core 2 Duo (not to be confused with the old Intel processor), which Migicovsky says will cost $149 and will ship in July. […] It has the exact same black-and-white e-paper display as the old Pebble 2 (technically a transflective LCD, if you’re curious)

As I mentioned earlier, whether a screen type is considered e-paper is subjective. And in my opinion, reflective LCD isn’t a type of e-paper. You may disagree, but it’s not “categorically” wrong.

Quote is from Wikipedia. You can see it’s the case for both models here:

• Pebble
• Pebble Time

Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you, it doesn’t perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.

The watch featured a 32-millimetre (1.26 in) 144 × 168 pixel black and white memory LCD using an ultra low-power “transflective LCD”

The problem is that e-paper is a category of displays, and some companies label reflective LCDs as “e-paper”. Which is subjective (and I personally heavily disagree with that categorization, cause then LCD clocks and Gameboys have “e-paper” displays, too).

But in the comment I responded to it was said Pebble has “eink” display, which is categorically wrong, as that is a very specific proprietary technology, which is e-paper in traditional sense, like the ones in Kindles.

IIRC, it has a reflective LCD, not epaper display.

Thanks, good to know.

Technically, sideloading is possible already, but you need a developer account, you’re limited to 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to renew them every week.

So the more difficult way already exists.

Doesn’t make my comment not true.

And I don’t filter or block anything or anyone. Rawdogging Lemmy, the way God intended.

Lemmy, this is the 7th day in a row you’ve shown “Tesla sales down in Europe” news in Top.

I don’t think anybody in Seychelles ever seeds on purpose. Being a remote island (archipelago), the internet prices are insane. Almost nobody has uncapped internet, mostly only business.

I wasn’t claiming a personal stake, I was presenting you with the source of my information and proof of personal and intimate familiarity with the situation. Stop attempting to look for loopholes, there aren’t any, because unlike you I’m being completely honest and truthful.

There’s plenty of valid criticism towards Ukrainian government, which I have explicitly agreed to. Them being a Nazi, however is a false claim at best and deliberate propaganda at worst. If somebody is challenging your false claim, and showing that you’re wrong, it doesn’t mean that they are taking it personally. But of course you’re gonna stick to your tactic of ignoring my arguments, and in addition now throw in an ad hominem attack. Ukraine is not even “my country”, I’m not a citizen and can’t vote in elections, so I can’t even “take it personally”.

And to answer your question, I would easily admit that the government is Nazi, if I saw at least 1 solid point proving that fact. So since I haven’t observed, and you failed to provide any, I’ll have to insist that your claim is blatantly false.

Also yes, you got me, I’m a middle-eastern-looking, brown haired, dark-skinned Nazi supporter. (/s for absolute clarity)
Every shot you take is a miss.

To use your own tactic against you (but unlike your attempts, effectively), earlier you claimed that “Ukrainians call themselves Nazi”. Now you’re saying that you don’t call Ukrainians Nazis, but only the government. And I’m the desperate one, countering your every argument with facts that you ignore, while all you do is attempt to find inconsequential loopholes in my statements to declare yourself victorious. Meanwhile, I’m yet to see even a single substantial argument that would indicate that Ukrainian government is Nazi. So far your arguments were:

• “There are Nazis in Ukraine”. Yeah, but a couple Nazis doesn’t make the gov or the people Nazis.
• “They named streets after Nazis”. Just because a street was named after a person who was possibly a Nazi doesn’t make the gov Nazi. Especially considering the fact that other streets are named after Jews.
• “Gov contains authoritarian elements”. Sure, doesn’t make it Nazi.

Simply repeating something doesn’t make it true, you have to back up your claims. Instead you just gloss over all the counter arguments I make, like there being plenty of Jews in Ukraine and the president himself being a Jew, that completely invalidate your claims.

Well, you still definitively called Ukrainians Nazis after I provided you with enough information to make you at doubt that assessment.

I envy your mental gymnastics skill. Wonder how you maneuver around the fact that “a Nazi nation elected a Jew president with 75% vote share”.

I have done no such thing and I didn’t push any lie. Believe it or not, we don’t personally go around surveying battalions.
– Hey, guys. Are you Nazis? No? Are you sure? Well, okay then.

Nazis exist in every country, but in non-Nazi societies, they don’t manifest themselves, just like in Ukraine. You don’t see Nazis on the streets wearing swastikas, or oppression of Jews or whatever. And up until the war started nobody even knew about Azov being Nazis.

But I can see from the way you react to this information and ignore the key elements, that you’re determined to just stick to your misinformed opinion, no matter what I say. So perhaps this is pointless. Let me know if I’m mistaken, and you genuinely want to shed the misinformation you’ve been fed.

He didn’t enshrine anything, it was already in the constitution before he was elected.

Regarding suppression of opposition, good, now you’re bringing up more reasonable criticisms. But guess what? That doesn’t make him or Ukrainians in general Nazis. There’s a lot of authoritarian stuff still leftover after Soviet era, it takes time to move away from it.

And guess what, Zelenskyy, with all his issues, was a definite step up from the president before him (at least until the war happened, anyway). And the one before him was a definite step up from his predecessor.
You know who doesn’t have that luxury? Russia and Belarus. Maybe criticize them for authoritarianism, instead of a country that at least is making progress.

No, I’m not saying these are fabricated, but I’m saying that you’re cherrypicking examples to support your (Russia’s) narrative. Every time Nazis in Ukraine are discussed, Azov battalion comes up. Guess what, 1 battalion doesn’t make the entire nation Nazis. There are Nazis in all countries. There are even Nazi battalions in Russia, but Russians aren’t Nazis?

The street renaming incident is just a result of incompetent research. They were just pulling any historical names to replace all the numerous Soviet era Russian names. The street I lived on in Kyiv got renamed to one after a Polish Jew. So why would Nazis name streets after Jews?

I’m not saying Zelenskyy is an angel, but the constitution literally forbids elections during war. Pick a better reason to criticize the government, there are plenty real ones.
