Jerboa started crashing for me around the time they did an update that required a newer lemmy version. I’ve been using Liftoff and that’s working pretty well so far. I’m trying to stay open to different apps because they’re all pretty new and none that I’ve tried have been exactly what I’m looking for yet.

The Amazon listing mentions “does not connect to the internet or to any devices” so it might actually not have any sort of connectivity.

I always wanted a furby and maybe now that I’m a grown adult I’ll finally get one lol. Although any time I see a furby now I’m reminded of this scene from Mitchell’s vs the Machines.

I like those projects where people have attached a raspberry pi to the old furbies to turn them into cool things, I wonder if that will be possible with these new ones?

I had the Pikachu one and I honestly had no idea it was supposed to even be a pedometer, I thought you were supposed to shake it…

Thank you for that recommendation it was absolutely worth clicking through for the gif.

I put the Lemmy web app shortcut where my Rif app used to be on my phone, so my muscle memory from always opening up rif has me going to lemmy instead. I’ve barely been looking at reddit at all and really enjoying seeing these lemmy communities grow. Once rif is gone I don’t plan to use reddit at all (aside from the occasional specific Google search for “specific question reddit”) and I don’t think I’ll miss it.

I was about halfway through Tears of the Kingdom, but then the Miyoo Minu Plus I had ordered a month ago was delivered and I spent the rest of the weekend playing Wario Land 2 and Super Mario Land 2. Nice blasts from the past and I really love the miyoo hardware.

Piracy can be pretty convenient too. There are some services that are a kind of a hassle to set up, but work really well once everything is configured. You can have one docker container running qbittorrent and set up so it’s only able to access the Internet through VPN, other containers running sonarr/radarr etc to automate the downloading, and one runing plex to organize and stream all the content.

I subscribe to several streaming services because the people who work on and create this content deserve to be paid, but often will watch something on my plex server rather than through the streaming site because it’s just more convenient. Also it’s nice to have local copies of that media in case it ever gets removed from the streamer in the future.

What’s the Lego community called? I haven’t been able to find one searching.
