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.

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.
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.

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.

Oh, right. Yeah, I saw that video, he (allegedly) didn’t know the basics of map navigation and wouldn’t pickup good drops.
What’s PoE? Other than Power over Ethernet, of course.
I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
“He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”
Really? That’s weird.
But then it would just all be Linux? Was that what you were trying to say?

They meant to say “Control or* Backspace is Space”, right? Right?!
PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:
- Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients.
- Accessing sources of video for consumption.
- Generating graphs for audio and video processing.
Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing.
Why is the dpad censored?
