Yes but you can strengthen your heart to a degree. Even most anti-cardio lifters eased up a little. I still won't run but I do tabata every other workout.

Love the oldschool eu.org domain but it seems to be just an instance of SearXNG at the moment.

It goes back to the moment you last listened (minus a couple of seconds) by default. Spotify is a decent podcast player, not AntennaPod but OK.

Why garbage platform, it's the best of the social networks. By far. Perhaps the most entertaining site on the Internet. It's really no wonder people use it.

There used to be a large network of electric cars in Warsaw by one of the utilitiy companies, Innogy GO. They had a few hundred cars, very nice BMWs (i3 and i3s), decent prices but, sadly, didn't survive the lockdowns and folded in ear

I thought IPFS is rather poorly suited for piracy since the nodes' addresses are public. There is no onion routing or other protection. Speaking of which, is Freenet still alive?

That was my point: if Google rewarded sites with fewer ads, you would get all the same manipulation and low-quality content but with fewer (but perhaps more expensive and carefully selected) ad blocks. You can have that today.

Page publishers would still have the same incentive to game the system, only putting a smaller numer of ads, perhaps then more expensive and more carefully selected. If you want to live in that world, you can today by running an adblocker.

Brits arrest people for silently praying (so... standing) near an abortion clinic or teaching their dog to do a nazi salute. Not exactly paragons of sound judgement.

Are these biases wrong though? In a hypothetical perfectly spherical chickens in vacuum world, yes, but in reality you probably want some outcome bias for example because you don't control all the variables. So the analysis of percepti

OVH is cheap and supports U2F. I have a bunch of stuff with them.

I quite like an esoteric theory but it should at least sound plausible. There is no need for a convoluted explanation with power dynamics and economic system denying people access to food when Americans are clearly suffering no such problem

You cannot be obese without overabundance of calories.

Bizarre take. Capitalism is so insanely effective that 22% of US teenagers are obese , 25% of all black kids. It may be a disease but it certainly delivers breakfast. And then six more meals, apparently. https://www.cdc.gov&#x2F

I know that after initial influx, Mastodon is losing momentum and activity. Both from the article linked and my own experience. Theoretically, Mastodon could tap some previously untwitterized microblogging niche but I haven't seen that

What's the point of automatically finding Mastodon profiles if they're either not there or not posting?

It's a solid improvement but the move from Twitter to Mastodon is not happening[1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34693037

I cannot relate to joy of struggle for owning things. Maybe the times have changed and often more expensive things just aren't better (although nicer things still are usually more expensive) but while I feel a lot of pleasure from wear

Why would it be impossible online? You can pay anonnymously for Mullvad VPN, or use Tor, or open wifi. It's online that anonymity is even attainable.

My list of m365 complaints is virtually endless. It's nothing major but rather death by 1000 cuts. The focus is almost never where I expect it, the notes overlap each other by defualt, the sync takes enough time to notice every time yo

It could be a little faster, maybe, but with good indicators of things happening under the hood, which Google offers, reliable results, and the daily comparison to m365, I have no complaints. And really, the only faster email setup I have e

Google is too good not to roll the dice. I use Gmail in my own domain with a different registrar. Push comes to shove, I'll move, restore backups, and carry on. But damn are non-Google ecosystems bad. At work we use m365 and everything

I had a sneaky service charge like that (10%) added in a bar in Vienna (Austria, EU). Asked them to take it off, and they did, but the attempt was certainly made. Many other places add it routinely and have it listed in their menus. Not jus

Yeah, yeah, but if an adversary can do things like > replace the contents of ./Personal/malicious-site.com with the contents of ./Work/id_ed25519 then it's pretty much game over anyway.

It's the other way round: cities that aren't plagued by homelessness, rampant drug use, and criminality can have good public transit. Middle class people simply won't pay (in taxes or directly) for public transit that acts as

Yes, basically the only way to sell the one-purpose, well-made solution is to target customers/clients who already got burned with the more popular option. Which means that you confine your product to a small or professional niche.

We do not have the technology to make mental health care supermarket easy. Psychiatric drugs have NNTs in the dozens, terrible side effects, or both. It's a fantasy because it has no chance of working even before you consider the enorm
