2/ Checking the Index 01 specs on the website, it said specifically that showering with the ring is possible. Presumably the risk of getting soap in the mic hole is something that Pebble watches are vulnerable to as well, no? Those are okay for showering. Is the ring more vulnerable ?

How durable and water-resistant is it?
It's primarily made from stainless steel 316, with a liquid silicone rubber (LSR) button. It's water-resistant to 1 meter. You can wash your hands, do dishes, and shower with it on, but we don't recommend swimming with it.

Specs for Pebble Index 01.

Regarding Water Resistance it says “1M water-resistance (washing hands, showering, getting wet is ok)”

@ericmigi.com Hey Eric, I don’t have my ring yet but was poking around in the Pebble app and discovered the onboarding screen where I noticed it specifically says it is not recommended to shower with it. This is a use case I have been really interested in. Is this correct?

I am big fan of the 'US Government Contributions' labeller - it adds labels to the accounts of members of government so there is full transparency on who they are beholden to. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Who wants to tell them that they are already using a centralized propaganda platform…?

A Twitter user tweeted re Bluesky: “The problem is with the people using it. Censorship, no matter how you choose to phrase it is still wrong. It should always be done on a personal level through individuals blocking others. Otherwise it's a centralized propaganda platform and I don't want to be a part of that. Propaganda will always be a problem as long as people are naive and lazy. So, it'll always be a problem. At least keep it decentralized.”

I just finished the First Law trilogy by @joeabercrombie.com. These books were a blast! Such an incredibly final act too, where even plot threads you'd forgotten about were wrapped up satisfyingly. I can't believe it took me till now to read them. Perfection! Next up "Best Served Cold". #booksky 💙📚

It’s great to see a PR bringing iOS Shortcuts support to the #Pebble mobile app. Adding notifications & timeline pins to your #smartwatch via #Shortcuts has so many potential use cases. I love how the community are all working together for the benefit of Pebble users. github.com/coredevices/... 🪨⌚️

2/ I previously read "Breaking Twitter" by @benmezrich.bsky.social so already had some familiarity with events. BT was a good read, with much of the story focusing on Esther Crawford. Like Mezrich's other books, it dramatized events for narrative effect, so it felt like reading a movie in book form.

I just finished "Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter" by @kateconger.com & @rmac.bsky.social. It's definitely one of the best books I've read this year. It was fascinating to get the perspective of current and former Tweeps as the company was eviscerated by Musk and his Goons. #booksky

I finally read “Careless People” by Sarah Wynn-Williams. I already knew Facebook was damaging to society but it’s so much worse than I ever realised. This book is simply essential reading/listening. It’s also a perfect companion book to “The Chaos Machine” by @max-fisher.bsky.social Read both! 💙📚 🎧📚

President Biden’s unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter Biden in full:

President Biden's pardon for son Hunter in full:

"Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.

Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form.

Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.

The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election.”

“Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.

No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution.

In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.

For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further.

I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision."

I’m currently two thirds through “Breaking Twitter” by Ben Mezrich and I can’t stop thinking what a train wreck it is going to be if Elon guts the federal government in the same way he gutted Twitter immediately after he bought it.

Elon wanted to make X the “Global Town Square”. He’s now learning the hard way that if you let the worst people in society take over the town, then the civilized people will eventually leave and go and live somewhere else. Life is too short to spend every day hanging out with people you don’t like.
