That’s me, I’m never cold. Cold wind can be cold, but when there is no wind, there cannot be cold.

Rolexes fail at being watches compared to other products that cost $5. A “bomb-proof piece of jewelry” is not a convincing argument. The whole point is showing that you have money.

A friend of mine has a few Rolex. Those watches are way less precise than a $5 quartz watch, it’s all about showing that you have money. The quality of the materials gives no advantage. They are objectively ugly too with the big round circles, and look like watches for kids who learn how read the time.

I’ve been told by rich guys that you must wear the strap a bit loose so that it the watch will rotate a bit around your wrist, which forces you to “put it back” while showing to others that you have a Rolex.

I don’t remember the specific name but it is a good start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspicuous_consumption

I don’t think there is a more pathetic display of money. Rolex were on the top of my list with their expensive ugly watches.

I agree that they are a PITA when it comes to creating an account. Once it is setup and paid, you can enable your VPN again though.

Did you meant ~/Music/Opus?

I buy a lot from Bandcamp. https://subvert.fm/ is supposedly an alternative but it’s not open yet and I’m not sure it is EU-only.

Is my data private when using the AI chat feature?

What a mess when it’s supposed to be a simple scanner application.

by excluding the relevant terms

Terms like US, politics, Trump, Clinton, Army, Militia, Vance, Bondi, Kinder eggs, Oklahoma, etc. It seems painful. As I said, tags are a PITA and create spam.

you even like that, because you can’t be bothered with reality

Go back to reddit please.

Some people don’t want to be bother by politics and/or US-centered stories. On every forum it was allowed, users were flooded with those topics. You can see !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world if you want that (it’s in the side bar).

It’s a weird pseudo-scientific scale based on feelings, a bit like horoscopes. I don’t know why they still use it.

There are tags on Piefed it seems. But it’s always been a mess, and ends up with people putting a lot of tags on their own posts to spam. Moderation is good enough on Lemmy. I don’t think you need to complicate things further.
