Ah, okay. Thanks. Was hoping it was just a client thing that caused them to show up.

Gonna put in a feature request to see if it’s possible to hide those.

Wait, do other clients filter those out? I’ve only been running Tesseract for a few weeks. Granted, I don’t see the hashtag spam super often so I don’t recall if I was seeing it this much before I started using this or not.

It was in the feed under one of the Lemmy communities shown in the screenshot. When a mastodon post tags a Lemmy community, it gets posted to it.

Not trying to shame a specific user, so don’t want to link to it directly. But the hashtag / community tag spam is common enough to be annoying.

I’ve always liked the “Go Away” door mat Slappy Squirrel had in Animaniacs. I’m legit surprised I don’t actually have one.

Laptop-style speakers may be just enough. It would be tight and maybe the badge would have to be enlarged slightly to accommodate it, though.

I did a deep clean of my laptop not long ago and was surprised at how tiny and flat the speakers actually were. They won’t fill a room, but they’re enough for light music or a Teams call at arm’s length. Granted, it might not be good in a noisy area, but that would be a problem for the mic as well (not to mention public speakerphone use is kind of frowned on lol).

Would love to have one of those. Guess I’ll have to settle for 3D printing one and hacking up a Bluetooth headset/speaker to make it work.

I saw that, but it’s November 19 already. So they’ve either not restocked or have sold out already.

I clicked a few of the “Where to buy” links from the bottom, but only the non-Bluetooth ones were available.

I have an old rotary phone / bluetooth “headset”! Though it’s only technically portable.

It’s a 50’s wall-mount model that the phone company would have hardwired (no RJ-11). I’ve got it hooked to a Bluetooth -> POTS adapter that will decode the pulse coding. It rings when my cell rings, you can answer/place calls from it, and you can dial 0 to engage the voice assistant. Technically speaking, I can absolutely text people from a rotary phone.

Is it practical? No. Do I use it? Rarely. It’s mostly decorative, but if I’m going to have retro tech as decorations, I like to make it work. Next “wish list” is an old payphone.

not amazing as a Bluetooth device. Microphone didn’t pick up super-well

That’s disappointing. Seemed to work well in that video, though it was quiet; I did wonder how it would fare in the real world, though.

A Bluetooth version of the TMP communicators might have better success albeit at the cost of having to hold your arm up for the whole conversation.

I’ve used smart watches for phone calls like that, and it was pretty annoying after not very long at all.

I could probably easily make a Bluetooth TOS communicator, but that would be two roughly phone-sized things to carry around, so not really practical.

OTOH:

glorify the rich & exploitation/objectification of women for massive profits.

I get it. I almost feel like some of that was both lampshading the practice as well as exploiting it. Every time that would come up Maya would have commentary on it.

They also mention Trump several times.

Yeah, that made a modern-day rewatch kind of difficult. I intentionally skipped those parts. Having re-watched several old shows somewhat recently, sadly, the orange T-bag comes up quite a bit. Just is what it is (or was what it was?).

Also ignore my other comment. I accidentally hit submit before I had anything typed out lol.

deleted by creator

So true. And I’m confident it’s not just nostalgia making me think that.

Literally my first thought every time I see David Cross in any role (past or present).

Good memory!

Startrek.website :)

It’s pretty great and mostly holds up.

How dare they not screw over their customers?

Gawd. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t around here.

I’m pretty sure it’s that Dwazoup bot (?) and they’re just spraying out posts.

Is that the plugin that blocks the increasingly unfunny clock memes in c/ProgrammerHumor?

You’ve got a payphone you’re trying to setup? That’s awesome! I’ve always wanted something like that, but I would have to be able to make it actually work.

Currently I got hold of an old 1950’s wall-mounted rotary phone and it’s hooked to a Bluetooth adapter that makes it work via my cell phone.
