Got my Apple Watch Series 12 over the weekend and noticed the hand wash timer is gone. I got so used to it tapping my wrist that the first time I washed my hands with the new watch, I stood there like an idiot for way longer than 20 seconds expecting a tap. @lorihc is that feature gone for good?

Screenshot of a post by someone named arahir:

"i just can't convey the frustration and sorrow that it's been to grow up at first without the internet and then watching it bloom into this useful, fun, connecting force you sometimes spent time on, only for it to degrade into this constant oppressive waste of time and energy where people are constantly pumping out algorithmically designed content for max algorithmic appeal and even the most simple search generates either no results or an infinite abyss of ai generated slop none of which is usable or correct. we briefly had a library of
alexandria and then fed it into a paper shredder so advertisers could sell a random mash of pulp back to us at a premium.

Switch to @kagihq. Seriously. I did, more than a year ago. I pay a modest annual fee. I get search results that are accurate and not loaded with advertisements, links to spam sites, or lies that some LLM made up. It's worth the money -- and it's not that much money! Happy, happy customer. 2/2

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
