Dude looking like he rolled out of bed, on that daily grind, going to win a medal and then grab some coffee, kiss the wife, and mow the yard.

Did you mean pounds per square inch? The foot-pound is a unit of torque. That number would make more sense for the force generated by its wings.

Unless you mean the specific individual in the photo, it’s not Japanese.

think of the bird’s claw as a small torque wrench … similarly, when we unscrew the cap of a jar, we notice that our hands have a limited torque capacity.

Sounds like a skill and/or distro issue

Aoife ,

Your OS being the cause of massive problems running common programs should not be something you have to have the skills to fix in the first place. And distro issue? How the hell are you even supposed to pick a distro when if you ask 10 linux users what distro you should use you’ll get 11 different answers? Sure, you could just try them all, but it takes a long time to evaluate an OS, plus just making sure that all the programs you want to run don’t just shit themselves.

Vivendi ,

Programs not designed for Linux somehow manage to run on a completely different operating system through something I can only explain as fucking technological black magic, and you’re wondering that it doesn’t work quite like it’s native environment? The fact that this is even possible is incredible

Go make the game devs release a proper Linux version and we won’t have those issues anymore

balder1993 ,

You’re right, but that’s not the point. The other poster said it’s a skill issue. Sure, if the person can’t run commands in a terminal or doesn’t know what’s an executable that’s a skill issue.

Getting stuck because the game is having weird glitches that show off once in a while and you need classes on computer graphics to debug isn’t skill issues imo. Otherwise are all gonna establish that Linux isn’t for non programmers then?

Linus_Torvalds ,

Rather skill than distro

Carrolade , to books in Looking up words on digital dictionary slows me down, does it get better?

Add an additional step into your word-lookup routine: practice it a little bit. Repeat it several times, preferably out loud and with proper pronunciation, consider the definitions a little bit, and compose an original sentence or two that incorporates the word. Personally I sometimes look up the etymology as well, that stuff just interests me in general though.

This will take a few extra minutes, but will seat the new vocab word in your memory better. It can still sometimes take two or three individual encounters to finally have the word fully remembered, but eventually it does just permanently enter your vocabulary.

You’re basically trying to force it from your short-term memory into your long-term memory just like you would with basic schoolwork, using similar techniques.

In their defense, they only stated that they appreciated it…not that they’d listen.

ccunning , to news in Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

I love the info it provides. I agree with many here that it’s too long. I think putting everything behind a spoiler tag that simply shows the rating would be a step in the right direction.

Rooki OP ,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Everything that can be hid behind a spoiler is already in there. The rest is partially because of an agreement with MBFC.

ccunning ,

Another idea I’ve been thinking about that would help get the wall of text “out of the way”…:

If the credibility is “High” or higher, have the bot downvote itself to allow other comments to float to the top

If it’s “Mostly Factual” or lower, have the bot upvote itself to help call attention to the possible issue.

…alternatively, if “High” or higher, wait for the first reply before having the bot comment.

I don’t know if any of this is even possible with bots; just spitballing…

Rooki OP ,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

The wall of text we will reduce in the next update. The others we will discuss with the team.

ccunning ,

Cool - I’d love to know the outcome of the discussion even if it’s just “Not technically possible” or “No; it’s a terrible idea because <X>

Be a responsible owner and don’t let your cat go outside. After you follow him to where he got it from last time

ShaggySnacks ,

It’s very important that you buy the weed and check it for impurities. It’s all for your cat.

The cat brings you weed so you may bring it catnip. Fair is fair

The cat is way past catnip already.

Delphia , to asklemmy in Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do?

If you want to avoid squishing your junk, I recommend buying some elasticated boxers that are just a LITTLE bit tighter than you would buy for every day wear. Keep your business pulled in close and tight.

As for avoiding workouts… theres a lot to unpack there. The short version is “You have the DNA you have” no amount of a “Bikini body” workout is going to give you tits or a BBL booty and any workout that mentions “Targeted fat loss” is bullshit. Situps do not burn belly fat. Workouts for bodybuilding and workouts for functional strength are different. Workouts for cardio and workouts for conditioning are different.

But what might build a bunch of muscle and functional strength for a 60kg woman might only qualify as a warmup for me, programs written for women will likely be different because (THIS IS NOT SEXISM) men on average carry more muscle as a percentage and less fat. Workouts programmed for women tend to have more cardio and lower weight. Not to say that you couldnt do that workout and hit it with intensity and get results, but its likely to be suboptimal.

If you’re interested in learning more about exercise science Dr Mike Isratel of Renaissance Periodization on YT has some fantastic and easy to digest videos (not exactly geared for beginners but theres some very quality insights if you find the right videos.) As well as James Smith, Dr Pak, Jeff Nippard and their associated friends.

gpstarman OP ,

Thank you for the valuable insight.

(THIS IS NOT SEXISM)

It’s sad that you got to mention this specifically. I almost got called sexist in this same comment section for asking this question. 😮‍💨

InputZero , (edited )

I think the term you’re looking for is called Sexual Dimorphism, and I have only ever heard edge-lord-feminists call it sexism. Most feminists that I have met acknowledge it.

Edit: to be clear while the conversation of gender equity is in part concerned about sexual dimorphism, the human species as a whole is sexually polymorphic. However the discussion of Turner’s syndrome, Klinefelter’s syndrome, ect is tangentially related.

RBWells ,

What’s funny is the Mike Matthews books, they are pretty much identical advice but the one for women is called:

Thinner, Stronger, Leaner

And the men’s - Bigger Stronger Leaner

I cannot lift as heavy as my husband no way no how. But the mechanics of how we work out are not that different, only the weight.

And the body fat comment is very true - if I am carrying 20% bodyfat I look lean as fuck, and 30% just looks normal but husband at 20% bodyfat looks padded. I don’t understand how that works but it’s absolutely true and he still (we are in our 50s) gets stronger faster, both in an absolute and a proportional sense, than I can. Not just muscle mass, also power. I have to do more to keep strength, he has to do more to fight getting fat.

TheRedSpade , to memes in Actually relatable

The comments suggest that most people have seen this, but I have no idea what the context is. Can anyone explain?

CaliforniaKove OP ,
@CaliforniaKove@lemmy.ca avatar

The LW mods are relying on a website to verify news, but it barely works outside of U.S. coverage, making it useless for global news (it’s like they think the U.S. is the whole world). They ask for feedback, but let’s be real—they’re too stubborn to accept any criticism

flambonkscious ,

Honestly this sounds like a good idea but a flawed implementation

I_Miss_Daniel , to android in I just got a device with an audio jack (Moto G84), very satisfying.

Fellow g84 user here. Almost a perfect phone.

Dual sim. Call recording. Stereo speakers. Loud enough. Oled screen. (slight tint.) Headphone jack 5Ah battery Super light phone. 5G. 12 gigs ram. FM radio with some reception sans cable. Soft rear cover.

Biggest downside is the camera as there’s no optical zoom / telephoto lens. Also if you take a photo in low light and leave the camera app straight after taking it, it’s gone.

For $AU299 it’s hard to beat.

Agent641 , to science_memes in Strength

The photographer who took this photo barely escaped with his life.

cordlesslamp ,

I heard that the bird actually tracked him down and murder him shortly after. They found the camera’s SD card is the only thing still intact at the scene.

jordanlund , (edited ) to fediverse in UPDATE! Fewer than 20% of Lemmy Apps display posts accurately
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

@gedaliyah iOS testing, not sure how you score these so I just listed out the broken stuff.

Arctic - Link opens in App. Headings fail, images fail, everything else looks fine.

Avelon - Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. Bold+Italic fails (Italic works, not Bold). Table fails. Horizontal Rule fails. Spoiler fails. Everything else looks good.

Bean - Last updated 7 months ago, comments on the app say it’s abandoned. Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. Text formatting block fails so hard, it’s not even visible(!) Heading fails. Code Block fails, Inline Code fails. Links and Image work, but not inline, only at the bottom of the post. Table fails. Horizontal rule fails.

CheeseBot - Did not test. $2.99, no free version.

Lemmios - Link opens in app. Everything looks and works great EXCEPT Spoilers.

Mlem - Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. As with Lemmios, everything looks and works great EXCEPT spoilers.

Remmel - Instant fail. No development in 2 years, unable to even add an instance or an account. Non-starter.

Thunder - Hard to test. Lots of lag for some reason. Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. That being said, EVERYTHING worked. The lag may have been because I had just linked my account. Testing everything above, then coming back to Thunder, I found it fast and responsive.

Voyager - Link opens in app. EVERYTHING worked. No notes.

So, ranking them:

Voyager - EVERYTHING worked. No notes.

Thunder - Everything worked, but laggy to start with when using a year old account with lots of data. Once it caught up, everything was fine. Would probably be great with a new account.

Lemmios - Link opens in app by default. Spoilers don’t work.

Mlem - Link opens in browser by default but is user configurable. Spoilers don’t work.

Arctic - A few minor failures.

Avelon - A few more failures than Arctic.

Bean - Hey, it works better than Remmel. Probably abandoned.

Remmel - Instant fail.

CheeseBot - Did not test. $2.99, no free version.

nokturne213 ,

Mlem - Link opens in browser, not app.

This is configurable. You can switch to have it open either way.

Noted! I wasn’t really testing configurations, just “out of the box” functionality.

What about Boost?

jordanlund ,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Searching the Apple app store for “lemmy” only turned up these.

shiroininja ,

Memmy is my favorite. cute name. Memmy for Lemmy

nokturne213 ,

Has Memmy started getting updates again? I thought it was abandoned.

Still dead, and not on iOS App Store anymore
