  • Honestly a bot moderator is just open source enshittification of the fediverse if you did it like this. Bots have no nuance, do not understand context and are generally unable to apply reason to a situation.

    The most egregious suggestion is user name based bans, this is 100% going to remove a bunch of users without real cause. Or having automod comment the same irrelevant headline on every single post is just causing spam and kills the comment count function.

    In my opinion the bots should do all the tediousness for the moderators, and there may even be scenarios where a bot content filter could be invaluable, but in general any tool you put out there will also be used to its fullest extent by at least one person.

    Like cops with too many powers, eventually they abuse it for everything.


  • Half the features are helpful and the others are obnoxious or useless reddit vestiges. Auto banning users, locking communities, deleting posts is all rather harmful and not conducive to interesting discussion and posts. Welcome messages and auto mod comments on every post are also plain terrible.

    Make a slim bot with moderation tools that helps mods and admins to do their tasks more efficiently and comfortably, but dont offload the mod role itself to the bot. That is one of the worst parts if reddit.








  • Not sure if that is an option for you too, but I have a scanwatch light myself. It is a hybrid smartwatch, being a classic analog watch with a small black and white display in the background.

    The scanwatch products are health focused, allowing the user to track a variety of health stats like heartrate, activities and sleep analysis. It is very energy efficient, requring a a recharge about once a month in my case.

    It is noteworthy that the hybrid concept makes some cuts to the smartness of the watch, for example replying to messages from the watch is not possible, only reading them as they come in. It doesn’t have touch functionality either, instead you control it with the bezel.

    You can configure in the smartphone app which apps are allowed to relay notifications to the watch, giving you the option to filter out most noise that is not relevant to your mom. You can also set up activity plans to track and/or remind her to engage in some moderate activities like taking a walk.

    Do note though that the watch asks for a subscription for some premium functions, like workout plans and more in depth health analysis. I don’t have that myself either though, being able to generally monitor my activities is enough for me. The watch also relies on the paired smartphone for its gps functionality, without the phone it would essentially be reduced to a classic wristwatch.






  • Meiner Erfahrung nach (habe mal ein paar Monate als Verkäufer in einem klamottenladen gearbeitet) ist das eher ungewöhnlich, existiert aber hier und da.

    Besonders bei Damenunterwäsche und Badebekleidung ist das anprobieren aus hygienischen Gründen sehr heikel, die welche man bzw. Frau anprobieren “darf” haben meist eine Plastikfolie im Schrittbereich eingeklebt. Als ich damals dort gejobbt habe mussten alle Unterwäscheartikel aus den Umkleiden, welche diese Schutzfolie nicht mehr hatten oder von vornherein nicht zum Anprobieren gedacht waren aber offensichtlich doch anprobiert wurden, aus hygienischen Gründen entsorgt werden.

    Davon ab würde ich dir aber auf jeden Fall raten das “erste” anprobieren, ob der Artikel überhaupt in Frage kommt, über deiner eigenen Unterwäsche zu machen. Wer weiß wer die schon alles an hatte.

    Noch ein kleiner tip, welcher eventuell für dich relevant ist: meine Mutter ist auch sehr zierlich und findet häufig keine passende Kleidung bei den Erwachsenengrößen, wird aber dafür manchmal in der Kinderabteilung fündig. Klingt erstmal blöd, und die Auswahl die auch für Erwachsene tragbar ist, ist natürlich auch begrenzt, aber manche neutrale Artikel sind vollkommen in Ordnung.


  • It isnt so much “we" as in humanity, it is a select few very ambitious and very reckless corpos who are pushing for this, to the detriment of the rest (surprise).

    If “we” were able to reign in our capitalists we could develop the technology much more ethically and in compliance with the public good. But no, we leave the field to corpos with delusions of grandeur (does anyone remember the short spat within the openai leadership? Altman got thrown out for recklessness, investors and some employees complained, he came back and the whole more considerate and careful wing of the project got ousted).
