I agree 100%. It definitely isn't a big problem yet (as far as I'm aware at least), but it's only a matter of time until it becomes one.

• Journaling just random thoughts and feelings
• Meditating
• Nature hikes
• Making my bed each morning
• Going for a drive with the radio on
• Doing small DIY crafts

I know, it can be a little bit of a mess at times. Especially if you've been gone for a day or two. I think there needs to be some better way of sorting through all the notifications automatically. Like different sections for replies/mentions, new threads, microblogs, etc. or something.

Yeah, the Google Pixel phones are really nice and aren't too expensive either.

Yeah, I normally just lurk around on social media, but the Fediverse has been different for me. There's just so much excitement and energy around all of this and it's just amazing. I easily just lose hours scrolling through kbin or Mastodon, and not necessarily in a bad way. And also, most of the interactions I have on here feel way more organic than they ever did on more "mainstream" social media sites, and I think that adds to the appeal a lot as well.

I'm not quite sure. I don't believe Microsoft has detailed exactly how it works yet. Though at the very least, it being baked-in to the Snipping Tool makes it more convenient for the average user.

I don't know if I'd label myself as all that interesting or not, but I have been wanting to interact with more people on Mastodon more regularly.

• Interests: Technology (Microsoft especially), Design, working on personal or open-source dev projects, photography (beginner), music, cooking, and a few other random things here and there.
• What I post: Mostly tech-related stuff right now, though I'm wanting to diversify and post more about my life and other interests.

Haven't had a ton of free time today to look over everything yet, but the Samsung display stuff I saw was pretty neat. Especially the transparent display. Lenovo also announced a neat 2-in-1 PC/tablet that runs both Windows and Android in their respective modes.

Oh neat, I think that's a great idea.

Same. I kind of have issues with my mind wondering when meditating (though also just in general lol). But I then tried guided meditation and it just clicked. Maybe it was having someone kind of guiding and reminding me to stay focused, but it's been amazing. And I agree, I think everyone should at least give it a try at some point.

@highhomes1994 I hadn't noticed it before, but I just checked and yeah it shows the same thing for me. I wonder what's going on with that. 🤔

@Gamers_Mate Oh, 100% Everything around Kbin aside, Ernest had a ton of stuff going on in his personal life that should totally take precedent over this here.

I did see the post about applications for instance-wide moderators, which Kbin definitely needs. But I don't believe any action has been taken past the announcement yet.

But that's really interesting. I just checked and I got a notification for your last comment over on my Mbin account as well. I don't know if maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Mbin account is subscribed to this magazine as well and got looped in as well or what? I may have to look into it and see if either it's just a bug or if I'm doing something wrong lol.

I don't know about Pixel devices, but normally for Duos the AT&T variants of the updates come about a week later. I think it has something to do with AT&T certifying the update for devices on their network or something.

I do not. I have the normal warranty and an extended protection plan, but that's it. I'm normally pretty careful with my devices, and I'm not a fan of the extra bulk cases add to the phone.

There are a few different things I try to do each day to find little moments of happiness here and there. Anything, no matter how small, can have a bigger impact on our mental health than we may initially think. When I have the time, I like to sit down and do a little bit of coding, or do some design work for a new project I want to start (even though there's a high chance I'll move on from it soon 😅). Also getting into a good book is always nice, spending time hiking or just going to a park somewhere, or even a little DIY craft project can be a lot of fun. But when I'm a little busier even little things like music, or journaling, or even a drink I really enjoy can all go a long way in boosting my mood.

Exactly. It can get quite overwhelming very quickly.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I think there are plenty of privacy concerns that should be addressed. But I don’t know whether the OCR is processed locally or not. I know the plan for Windows 12 at least is to complete a good amount of the intelligence processing on-device, though that is reliant on specific hardware. And I don’t know how or whether these new features factor into that or not.

I think it's the Razer Kishi V2 Pro.

Well welcome, @StrwbrryJen! 👋 I hope you enjoy the experiences and interactions you'll have over here.

I think that's a great idea! If you want to create the post, I can then pin that to the magazine. Though if you'd prefer, I can make and pin it myself.
