alpacapone,

Pretty miserably! Doing my usual distance and keeping my pace as much as possible, but I’ve definitely slowed down by 10-20 seconds/mile. I’m trying to maintain as well as possible because I have a marathon in October.

YSK: Imagus is Hover Zoom for Lemmy that actually works (addons.mozilla.org)

On desktop Hover Zoom is life changing way to browse memes and gifs. One thing I struggled with when I moved to Lemmy was Hover Zoom support. While it worked with imgur links, these are few and far between. I had given up hope when I finally discovered Imagus works perfectly.

alpacapone,

Does anyone know why Imagus isn’t working for me with lemmy? If the popup appears on lemmy, the image is too small. I’ve had this extension for years with no issues and had just figured it’s not compatible with this site.

alpacapone,

Can we please stop posting here just to fill up the space? I want to be in this community but I am blocking Archer for the sake of my front page…

alpacapone,

People shouldn’t use sunscreen because it’s awful? I’m too white for this advice lol. Are you someone who doesn’t burn easily?

alpacapone,

Ahh that makes way more sense, thank you for clarifying!

alpacapone,

Yup. What made me decide to leave is the fact that I’m going to a place full of people who don’t agree with Reddit’s policies, and who are willing to fight a modest learning curve to join a more future-proof community. I’d rather be with people who care about that kind of thing and are kind of nerds about it, even if it doesn’t have as much content as Reddit in its early days. It’s making me nostalgic for Reddit 12 years ago anyway.

alpacapone,

Yes, please! And maybe blocking porn could be included in those smart blocks. I browse all to find new communities but the first page is mostly 196, Star Wars, in German, or porn.

alpacapone,

I joined on lemmy.world and am browsing all. It’s not like I want all porn to be gone, I just don’t really want to see it on the front page. Or I’d like it to be spoilered, at least.

alpacapone,

I'm probably doing it in a roundabout way but I just enter it in the URL like lemmy.world/c/zerowaste@lemmy.ml

I haven't been able to get it to work with the search either

What keeps you going to the gym?

I've been weightlifting at the gym with my brother at least 2-3 days a week for the last 2 months. I recently noticed a week or so ago, after my workouts, the soreness has decreased in the days following, tremendously. No longer am I walking around with locked knees because my legs are going to give out, or with T-rex arms...

alpacapone,

I've worked out every day the last few years. At this point the habit is so strong, it's not about "what keeps me going" but "what could stop me from going" -- I've had all the excuses in the world to miss a workout. It's just a part of who I am now.

Running in Wildfire Smoke

Anyone have suggestions on how to train while dealing with intense wildlife smoke pollution? I'm in the Midwest and recently the air quality got really really bad, so I've been taking a break on outdoor activities. The bad air quality will continue for at least a week if not longer, so I do still want to train. What do people...

alpacapone,

I ran 10k in it this morning, we're in the yellow/"poor quality" zone right now. I hadn't realized but found myself coughing a lot during it then put 2 and 2 together. sucks but I don't have access to a treadmill.

alpacapone,

It's going to dip again when third party apps are shut off. Personally I'm still browsing Reddit to check in on the drama on /r/ModCoord

alpacapone,

don't more people use third party apps than the official app?

alpacapone,

they were a moderator of some of the most popular subreddits, so it was definitely more than that

alpacapone, (edited )

replace the "1" in the url with "0" -- so "/page/1" turns into "/page/0"

it's an easy bandaid until they fix it!

alpacapone,

they had to sign a waiver that mentions the possibility of death 3 times on the first page to dive in a vehicle that has never been safety certified and that was criticized years ago by almost 40 experts in a letter to the CEO. who is more insane? this safety mission will cost a fortune regardless of the outcome.

alpacapone,

fired AND tried to sue him for "leaking company information"

The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down....

alpacapone,

52 million from 55 million is actually a significant percentage. Yes it's still a big number, but it's pretty significant.
