Lemmy moves slowly. I can come here and comment on things from two days ago cause it’s still pretty high up on the list. I think that would reduce the need to be up to date.
On mostly anonymous social medias, what’s the pressure to be connected? Back on reddit I wouldn’t log in for weeks at a time
Apple needs a toggle for “I’m not a total noob” to disable some of these things. Well, Microsoft does too but for different things.
This will probably be a large net benefit since most users are not, uh, proficient and likely grant permissions a little too often. I guess I’d rather click yes repeatedly if it means depriving some corpo from monetizing user screen content. But if they’re adding it, they may as well make it optional.
Yeah, that’s how it’s designed to work. The only times I’ve had my phone still notify is when the watch is on my wrist but locked, in which case both will buzz but the watch can’t display the notification. I’ve had an Apple Watch since 2016 and it’s always been like that.
It’s by design because, for most people, having both devices buzz would be redundant. You’re more likely to notice the watch since it’s on your wrist
I try not to get vitriolic but I fucking hate the DNC. They slanted things towards Clinton in 2016 and we got Trump. They slanted things towards Biden in 2020 and we’re now in a truly unimaginable spot trying to just keep a vague democracy thing going. The country is in such bad straits— really, the world— all to screw over one guy just because he said socialism.
Far right ideology is rising shockingly quickly since Trump brought it to the west. Perhaps I am naive, but I believe that Bernie’s policies would have calmed the brewing storm of far right fury. Politicians could scream all they want about it, but Medicare is so objectively better that I think enough lower class right-wingers would’ve loved it. Like the guys who got their loans forgiven and were like “oh shit an actual benefit, if it’s for me I guess it’s not so bad”
Did Threads really just crash and burn? Don’t think I’ve heard a single thing about it in months
I use crea supps creapure. I believe that all creapure is functionally identical, just 100% pure Creatine marketed and backed by some German company. Amazon feels so sketchy nowadays that I wanted something simple and not well known enough to counterfeit. Plus creapure has quality seal verification to minimize chance of fakes.
While checking for the brand I use, I now see that it is out of stock. That sucks, I will have to find another creapure soon
Wow, I was there for the others but I wasn’t aware of an upskirt trend. If it’s what it sounds like, seems like a crime
Yeah I’m avoiding everything in that region for now, then doing light weights later. I didn’t stop the first time, just did lighter and it recovered quite well, so hopefully this more careful approach works.
I find myself decently worried about it because, aside from not having injured myself before, re-injuring is so far out of my zone that it’s worth some concern. I’ll update you when it’s fully resolved though
Hm shit, now I am too. I’ve never injured myself before so I can’t tell if this is normal. I’d love if it was symptomatic of a very light injury that will heal perfectly though
Thank you! This actually happened some time ago and I thought it was almost fully recovered, so I went back to full weights and it hurts again, albeit quite mildly. It was nearly painless so I did my pull-up sets and, minutes later, noticed it hurting passively again. Foolishness. Worse, both times I couldn’t tell until after my set for some reason so now I’m extremely wary.
I think I’ll follow your advice and do light weights while I’m there, a bit of soreness is better than lengthening this injury again. Pretty upset with myself for managing to injure myself twice. Glad you’re doing better though!
Hi, sorry for necroing. I injured myself doing incline smith press too, a back muscle for me but I can’t imagine it’s too different. How long did it take for you to recover/resume full weight? I have a lengthy international trip soon and I usually change my workout to one set at max weight while out. I’m worried I’ll injure myself doing that even if it’s mostly healed, but skipping for that long would lead to some significant soreness when resuming :/
No one I know has hurt themselves like this so I’m wondering how it went for you. On the other hand my SO hurt her leg hiking and was out of commission on leg day for weeks— not the same type of injury/severity hopefully so I’m hoping I won’t be gone like that. Thanks in advance!
This is actually pretty crazy to me, I watch <1hr of TV a week but can immediately tell OLED from LCD. It’s the perfect absence of light on black screens, though I’ll admit I don’t see a lot of LCD and may just be encountering only mid ones.
I’m ex-tech so I don’t use my devices, barring my phone, a lot these days but I can’t unsee the difference. I always get OLED when available; had a “next best thing” miniLED iPad that was unbearable in the dark. But I’d rather not care like you do: objectively speaking you miss out on nearly nothing and don’t have to frown at remaining non-OLED devices like car screens or laptops. Even going weeks without computer usage I’ll still notice, and honestly after typing all this I’m kind of jealous.
And y’know, perfect black aside, I don’t think I’d notice otherwise. Really unfortunate thing that my brain notices without thinking about and it’s cost me thousands + fear of static screens causing burn in
Seems more likely to be Apple getting ahead of incoming legislation than a small phone company’s announcement. Companies like Apple don’t make huge changes within a couple days of nearly unknown (to the general market) companies doing something that might slightly affect them.
Regulations work, and in this case, it doesn’t look like competition played any role. Apple only makes changes like this when forced to by regulators or, in the case of privacy, when it’s marketable. Capitalistic self regulating is almost a myth with them— they wouldn’t even stop selling those butterfly keyboards until their self imposed refresh timeline allowed for it.
I think site:reddit.com/r/sub works identically, it’s what I’ve always done
It’s not about Reddit. The platform will continue. It’s about the communities with some built-in danger reducing the bar for safety, potentially leading to death.
The internet is pretty callous, but someone dying over this would be bad, right? That’s still a living person who might not do enough research or follow the unsafe article and get hurt or die. Reddit as a platform aside, and even if you or someone else believes they should have been more careful, people dying in part because of this is the issue.
Yeah you really can’t. I’m pretty desensitized from earlier internet with death and other shock gore content but had managed to avoid CSAM until today. It was a lot worse than I expected, felt my heart drop. Worse, my app autoplays gifs in thumbnail so it kept going while I was reporting it.
I’ve mostly forgotten and it wasn’t on my mind until I saw this thread (happened less than 24hr ago) but even the slightest reminder is oddly upsetting. Wish I’d thought of the Tetris thing.
What has your experience with mercenaries shown?
I hear housing is extremely expensive as well. Plus the roaches are… plentiful
Lemmy is relatively slow with breaking news and misses a lot of the fluff that other sites would have in between truly noteworthy things. For addiction prevention, this is pretty great— if I missed a couple days on Reddit, the entire conversation was different. Here on Lemmy, I can show up a couple days later and still see the big things from the previous days. I can respond to notifications days later without feeling bad. I never really feel out of the know unlike Reddit, and if I was incentivized to log in because of that, I’d definitely say Lemmy is less addictive.
