Go up ramps backwards to prevent falling onto your head.

Wheelchair ramps rarely have the correct slope. Every day is arm day.

I don’t know what’s wrong with you and sitting, but you can put in the brake for your wheelchair and do dips or something if it helps

Thanks for the tip and advice.

Yeah it’s just that poor posture over time (been fixing it with PT) has caused… Problems. Sitting usually results in ever increasingly intense lower back pain, especially if there is minimal lumbar support

LavenderDay3544 , to programmerhumor in Anyone here use assembly?

OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I’ve even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn’t be met in C.

Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there’s abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.

kolorafa , to asklemmy in Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

I move unsubscribed emails to different folder, so next time they send me email I don’t feel bad in any way as I can confirm that I did tell them not to send me emails.

I only regret I can’t flag it as spam double time.

LavenderDay3544 , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

As a former computer science and economics TA and lecturer all I have to say is please don’t be that guy.

If your class uses Windows, use Windows, if it uses Linux use the exact same distribution as the instructor and for the love of whatever you believe in if you bring a Mac into my classroom and argue with me that it’s Unix so it’s close enough I will smash it over your head and fail you so you don’t hold up my class because you think you’re special.

WolfLink , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

My experience was that the school provided free Windows keys for a personal computer if you needed one (they didn’t provide the computer itself) but the majority of computers I interacted with on campus (mostly in the computer lab) were Linux (some Debian variant iirc). I think the printing computers in the library were windows. I took an art class at one point and they had Macs (it was for using the Apple’s Final Cut Pro).

We never used LibreOffice though. Everyone just uses Google Drive.

magic_lobster_party , to technology in Bitcoin is Stupid and Does Not Deserve an Emoji (blog post)

We also need a McDonald’s emoji, Pepsi emoji, Windows emoji and Mastercard emoji. These are also brands that are heavily ingrained in our culture. Probably even more so than Bitcoin.

Or we accept that brands like Bitcoin shouldn’t use emoji as a marketing tool.

pyre ,

Probably even more so

probably? shitcoin isn’t even in the same ballpark universe as something like McDonald’s or Pepsi.

floquant ,

Since when is Bitcoin a brand lmao? I’m really struggling to see how it is comparable to McDonald’s or Windows. Having a logo does not make you a corporation

sin_free_for_00_days , to nostupidquestions in What should I know about using a wheelchair for the first time?

If you can, get one of these:

I’ve never used one, but I know 2 people who have and most of what they have said is positive.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. My mom had ankle surgery earlier this year and used one for a few weeks while recovering.

Theharpyeagle ,

Definitely this, and maybe a motorized scooter for days that really require you to move around. Also check the conference site or call them to see if they offer any accommodations. But, OP, you’re probably not gonna be making it 15-25 miles a day no matter what you do. Be honest with yourself and others about your limitations and don’t push yourself too hard. Have a backup plan to get around if you need to.

This looks sick. 100% might be just what I need.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

From what I’ve been told, these things are terrible on your knees if you put your weight on them. So think of it as a crutch, not a skateboard.

YMMV.

ChaoticNeutralCzech , to asklemmy in Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

If they can’t respect a recipient’s consent, they deserve it being a little harder to deliver to people using that mail server.

moistclump , to asklemmy in What is your favorite YouTube channels?

I like Legal Eagle (lawyer gives some good context for current events especially), Some More News (deep dives into social or political issues), and Plain Bagel (finance). I’m not a big YouTube person but these are literally the only three I’ll go check if they have new content.

pineapplelover , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

I’m currently using Arch Linux in college and my advice will be to dual boot. In some lower div classes my specific professor wanted Visual Studio .sln files so there was no other way (I guess you could VM it but I’m not trusting that with my grade).

Group sharing documents, our schools and most schools are in the MS ecosystem so you can edit on word online through the onedrive thing.

For writing stuff I would mostly use libreoffice with the LanguageTool plugin installed.

For lockdown proctored exams, I would typically get a loaner laptop from school because no way am I downloading their sussy stuff.

Edit: Since you’re studying to be a psychologist, my first paragraph will probably not apply to you. If you want to, dual boot, if not, I think maybe you could boot up a vm if there’s some really niche use cases.

chevy9294 , to selfhosted in Confused about Podman

I switched from Docker to Podman, because Podman is more secure (if rootless) but it was just hard to autostart containars. You have to start one by one because they don’t have a central service like docker. And watchtower and nextcloud AIO don’t work on Podman. So I switched back to docker.

ryannathans ,

You create a pod and bring the pod up

caseyweederman , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

I set up dual boot but ended up only running Windows once when I had trouble with my Windows VMs. You’ll be fine.
Especially since MSOffice everything is just browser apps anyway.

@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

I used to do this kind of thing for work. Best practice is, before you sign anyone up for a list, even one they literally just clicked to subscribe to, you send them one email saying hey click this thing if you want our newsletter. Just so there’s never a misunderstanding. If they don’t click, you never send them anything else.

Report away. Fuck ‘em.

Lost_My_Mind , to nostupidquestions in What should I know about using a wheelchair for the first time?

If you’re going through the airport, and you request a wheelchair pusher, ask them if they accept tips.

If they do, tip them a $20. You’ll make their day. But don’t offer food as a tip. Don’t offer foreign money, or $2 bills, or coin dollars. It’s not neat. It’s not cool. It’s either a currency I can’t use to pay my rent, or it’s a really really low amount of currency that I can’t cover rent with.

And if you see one guy doing the work of 7 guys, don’t complain that you have to go get your bags. EVERYBODY has to go get your bags, and if one guy is doing everything, it means they’re short staffed. If thats the case, squeeky wheel gets the oil is the opposite. Squeeky wheel gets left the longest in hopes that family will take them instead.
