It seems like you've been asleep for 15 years if that's the version of Android your phone is running

Far more reliable than modern smartphones. My last 2 just kill alarm randomly to save battery.

There used to be smartphones with rtc wakeup (ultra low power built in clock that can turn on the phone at a given time even when fully off) and its a fucking joke that this doesnt exist anymore. Why tf would i want my phone to be always on?

As depressing as it sounds, the average user wants to get constant notifications, feedback, and the ability to instantly slide open social media in 2 taps, regardless of time of day.

Plus, a ton of people charge overnight, not giving a shit about battery degradation.

Isn't that why most modern phones have an adaptive charging feature to trickle charge overnight to be full by morning/your alarm?

It's not a bullet proof solution, although it helps, yeah.

I also use a 10 year old android phone as my alarm, mainly to be able to pick whatever song I want to wake up to. That's why I do not understand why OP is using Piezo as their ringtone. That must be the most annoying sound ever!

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

are there modern phones that cant have their alarm sound changed?

[-] muzzle@lemm.ee 1 points 58 minutes ago

The point is that I don't want my actual phone near my bed. I use an old decrepit phone instead of an alarm clock because then I can pick which song to wake up to.

It's an old meme but it checks out sir.

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
