Nusm@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Pebble, the Twitter alternative previously known as T2, is shutting down | TechCrunch28·2 years agoI think the T2 was to insinuate that it was “Twitter 2”. I didn’t understand the rebrand, because, even though it’s been a few years, Pebble to me is still associated with the smart watch.
I actually signed up and used it a little, but I put up a funny post with a Corvette that had a wheel off sitting on wood blocks with the caption, “When Rednecks get Corvettes! 🤣” It was a stupid little joke, but my post was flagged as offensive and removed. At that point I made one more post explaining what had happened, and that I was going to be leaving the platform. I left the post up for a couple of weeks and then deleted my account. If that was considered offensive, my sarcastic self didn’t stand a chance on that platform.
I’m not surprised they didn’t get any traction.
Unless she doesn’t like who you’re married to! (Taps forehead)
As a musician, most scenes with characters “playing” an instrument are ridiculous. I mean, they do all this research for rolls, but they can’t be bothered to figure how to put their mouth on the instrument and some basic things that make it look like they’re really playing?

Nusm@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended?English23·2 years agoThe gas station down on the corner. When I first moved here, I went there all the time because it was convenient. Gas, bread, soda, you name it, I would swing through there and pick it up. I stopped every single work morning and got coffee on the way to work. I started bringing my own insulated cup, so they charged me less. Then it was bought by a new owner, and he wanted to charge me more. Okay, it was still cheaper than if I used their cup and more convenient than making it at home - they provide the coffee, sweetener, creamer, and there’s no clean up on my part. One day I went in with a new cup that was the same capacity as the old cup. A different shape, but it held the same number of ounces. The owner said, “that cup’s bigger, I charge you more.” I tried to argue, but he didn’t budge, and he charged me the same amount as a large coffee in their cup. Now, I’m not stupid, I’ve worked in retail before, I know the largest cost to a cup of coffee is the cup, but I paid it, walked out the door, and never set foot in there again. That’s been eleven years ago, and I don’t plan to go back. I hope the few cents he greedily wanted over coffee was worth all the other lost sales.
I didn’t read close enough and thought you said TikTok. I thought to myself, “TikTok has reminders?!?”
You don’t know? Sheesh, what a failure. 😀

I know it sucks, but the dev is actually rewriting this app from the ground up in a new environment, so it’s like starting over with a beta version. There’s still lots of bugs to work out, but he’s pushing updates pretty quickly, and was responsive to my bug report.
