    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • Besides two niche subreddits, I stopped using reddit. So it's 90% Lemmy. I don't use much else for social media except Something Awful and a heavily manually censored Discover tab on Bluesky because I'm sick of seeing Amercians crying and their politics. I wish we could region block entire countries on our personal social media accounts.

    Anyways, the focus is reddit. I don't really miss it because I could see the rot with bots, alts, power mods, site leadership, vote manipulation, etc etc.

  • So we're still USA's toy dog I see. edit: and/or Israel? I guess we watch their and our actions instead of words to find out soon enough. Abrahamic cults are embarrassing. Three of the majors except Mormons are involved this time.

  • Evolution is considered a success if the animal lives long enough to successfully mate and nothing else matters to mindless evolution. At least cats don't have curly tusks that borrow through the skull if they live long enough like that infamous boar species I can't remember the name of.

    Ads on YouTube

    Jump

  • When video streaming first appeared on the internet, I basically stopped watching cable. I tolerate 0 ads and abuse video and streaming services until it's impossible to do so and then I just won't use those services anymore. It's not sustainable to let me watch, acknowledged. I don't care.

  • They also got rid of video ratings, porn really is corporate!

  • Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”

  • Not all, but yeah. 75% of my wishlists are weird and interesting indie stuff from the constant Steam demo fests.

    JD Vance gets suspended from Bluesky 'just 12 minutes after first post': reports

    Jump

  • Imagine not being American and using Bluesky. Or Mastodon. That's the vast majority of what's there if you speak English.

  • Scientists achieve 1,000-fold increase in solar electricity using ultra-thin layers

    Jump

  • To build the new material, the team used a high-powered laser to vaporize the crystals and redeposit them in layers just 200 nanometers thick. In total, they created a structure consisting of 500 stacked layers.

    Always comes down to how fast you can manufacture ideas like this.

  • Nice one

  • No way! Manglement isn't part of the union :P

  • I work on the floor in a pretty specialized role, so I can always just use the excuse of having to attend to any given machine coincidentally whenever they want to have a meeting I don't feel like attending.

    None of the managers really understand what we do, so they don't challenge the excuses ever.

  • 'Cool data centres with treated sewage', says Anglian Water

    Jump

  • Sure whatever. Heat exchanger is heat exchanger.

  • Millennials are abandoning organized religion. A new study provides insight into why

    Jump

  • In this case I'm wondering about what Millennial parents decided to not bother teaching their own kids, evidently.

  • Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm?

    Jump

  • Username checks out. That's interesting, I don't doubt these experiences happen. In fact I thought you and OP would be the more common experience.

  • What browser are you using?

    Jump

  • I use Librewolf 90% of the time.

    10% Edge (but with ShutUp10 ran over it) for HDR Youtube and if adblocking is broken on one browser at the moment.

    I'm very uncomfortable with having all web browser engines owned by Americans.

  • What do you even do at a gym?

    Jump

  • You can do this at home. Everything here is under 2000 dollars spent total because we bought from bankrupted gyms liquidating during covid and a couple home gym people after covid who preferred going to a gym and were offloading equipment for next to nothing.

    Outdated pic but same rack today:

    You need the space to begin with, but besides the rowers (can be stored vertically) and rack, the space waste isn't that huge. George Hackenschmidt's abridged/edited down by me workout routine is pinned to my back wall there. An old world strong man from an era before steroids existed. He didn't do focused muscle training, instead all-round balanced and, this is key, a very minimal amount of equipment is needed. You can look up how he looked, I think it's aesthetically pleasing.

    But yeah that's really it. Lift heavy things, row, and I run or bike. I do not enjoy it. I don't pretend to. I'm not doing this for enjoyment, I'm a big nerd who never enjoyed physical activity ever. It's simply to stay in good shape because that was noticeably slipping in my 30's.

    So I'm doing this entirely out of self preservation. Importantly, I also do Yoga. Flexibility is important too.

    Gyms are indeed predatory with their obnoxious membership programs and cancelation antics. I'm lucky to have some space in my ugly basement.

  • Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm?

  • Acknowledged OP edit aside...

    I can't say I've experienced that illusion myself. I do wonder if there's something to your question that has to do with Circadian Rhythm or waking up more when you see sunlight.

  • Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats?

  • Calling someone cowardly was my understanding of chickenshit.

  • Tonight I'm at work and roomie texts a video of a water leak probably from the ancient upstairs bathtub faucet...that's embedded in tile. Fucking tile. FUCK.

    The month prior the faucet vibrated loudly when I tried to use it. The plunger failing to seat. Guess it caused a crack.
