I was team classic theme for a long time. I forget the tool I used but the ability to customize the look of XP was awesome as I had a nice toolbar and start menu theme.

“ok, now add a metric shit ton of swearing and further belittle parsers who can’t deal with tabs.”

Unfortunately it doesn’t even matter. People around here will still vote for him regardless. His name now has staying power and people here are goldfish to any new info.

The only thing I can see that would be helpful would be something that visually distinguishes that something is a spoiler; a color, a spoiler icon, etc.

Visual cues feel important to being able to assess what I am looking at as unless I read this post, it wouldn’t have been clear to me that this is a spoiler.

Thanks for everything you do for this app. To me, it’s the Lemmy standard for a fantastic app and has made leaving Reddit simple.

If she woke up to a vibration from a watch, I bet she’d wake up hearing motorized blinds.

I think my eyes just threw up from having to read that.

It doesn’t kinda feel that way, doesn’t it?

I really don’t want a president, any president, with that sort of debt that they owe because I don’t trust them to not do unethical things to get rid of the debt.

I found exercise that I actually wanted to do. For me, this started out as cycling. I enjoyed being able to go places and see things. I used to just cycle casually with my family but when the COVID lock downs happened, I would go on 30+ mile bike rides. It was nice to get out, see things and the roads were pretty empty around me so I could go just about anywhere.

The biggest problem with that around here is that it gets really cold during the winter so I started doing a combination of cardio, hand weights and basic exercises like pushups, etc to just get my heart rate going and sweat a bit. I do have an indoor bike trainer but I don’t enjoy that quite as much because it’s just sort of boring compared to being out and seeing scenery.

I was sort of stuck at this weight of around 190, which by the BMI charts is a few pounds overweight for my height. This last fall, I was challenged by my sister in law, along with her other siblings, to run a half marathon. I used to play soccer and I used to run for a good while in my 30s - it’s how I stayed in shape back then and was able to lose a good bit of weight. So I started running and I found it to be really easy, probably because I didn’t have to fight through the getting winded - it was mostly my leg muscles getting used to running. Now I run around 30 miles a week, even in the cold. The only thing I struggle with now is taking care of my knees and leg muscles as that’s the biggest issue I run into that could prevent me from keeping it up. I’ve been running since November and am down to 180 and I feel great.

Now food wise, I mostly just try to be generally aware of going in excess for anything that is just sugar or a food that calorie dense but not providing nutrients. I try to keep fruit around the house. if I think I am hungry, I ask if I am hungry enough to eat and apple or a plum - something like that and will do so if I am. I still snack on stuff like pretzels, crackers, etc. I eat things that aren’t healthy for me but I try hard to not go overboard on anything.

TIL about PowerToys Run. That’s a game changer for me. Thanks!

I’m with you there. This is one of those problems that I wish someone could easily solve but I’m really not holding my breath. That seems like the tricky bit where it hasn’t been figured out technically within the platform. While it seems like you could solve the problem by basically being able to create meta communities where all communities with the same name get grouped as one large virtual community, it doesn’t solve for cases where two are named different but are the same topic and then it opens things up to abuse where an off topic community is created.

So then it becomes something where communities need to choose to federate with each other but how? Who gets final say?

Not to mention how things get handled when there are multiple posts on the same topic. Are they merged? Are the duplicates removed? What about comments? What happens on the backend? The sheer amount of code one would need to modify to have such a feature would just be overwhelming I would think so it’s not surprising it hasn’t been done yet.

Funny that predictive text seems to be more advanced in this instance but I suppose this is one of those scenarios that you want to make sure you get right.

I haven’t kept up with anything reddit wise but I thought those tools utilized the now inaccessible APIs unless they’ve figured out how to do it without them.

When you came to space dock here, did you notice a sign out in front of my station that said “Dead Romulan Storage”?

I wish that I, as the server admin, could opt out all of my users from this on their behalf. Shit like this should be opt in and it is seriously fucked up to enable by default, porn or not.

What’s the problem with just not using the portion of the service you do not wish to use? For almost everyone, the integration with email for the calendar is what actually makes it function, where you will be interacting with other people. Most people who want to create a new, unique calendar will just create an additional one in an existing account if they want a separate calendar for a certain purpose.

That’s what I do with my wife for events that we both need to know about. So we have a calendar that is just our stuff and we both subscribe to it (or more like she has the calendar shared with her from my account) but she has permissions to add/remove things. Is there some reason you need a completely separate calendar on a unique service? I feel like we are missing something about your use case to actually be able to understand what you are trying to do.

Look at this guy who doesn’t have billions he made from the 90s and 2000s to rely on!

Well no but ok. Whatever makes you feel happy. Almost every time I let the row across from me go first unless I need to get moving and in the event I don’t, I’m not a huge beast of a person where I have to invade everyone’s space. I’m also not part t-rex with baby arms.

I mean, that sucks that sitting gives you incredible pain. It surprises me to see how many people have problems sitting for a long time. I get the seats aren’t the most comfortable. I like to try to straighten my legs out under where the smaller carry on goes because I do get discomfort on long flights if I do just sit there and don’t get up at some point, especially on long flights. I don’t get the comment about “your bin” like bins are assigned or something. Glad I’m not one of those pricks putting their dick in your face for 5 minutes though. Definitely a dick move.

I enjoy the part where I get someone’s ass in my face for 5 minutes while everyone waits for the jet bridge and the front of the plane to disembark.

Having your carry on in order and knowing where your bag is located is the key to actually getting yourself off the plane quickly. I personally find putting my overhead bag in the bin on the opposite side of the aisle makes it dead simple to grab and go as then it takes no additional time vs me just getting up and going. Reach, pull, walk.

Used to fly like 100+ times a year for many years before covid. Had a lot of time to think about how to get off a plane quickly and efficiently.
