I’d say it’s the intention.

I suffer in these summers, but I still prefer this suffering to the winter. Winter is too depressing. Christmas is about all that is nice about Winter.

Everyone has whatsapp and not signal is pretty much the gist of it

I went with Mint and it is great. Gives me Windows 98 vibes, inca good way. It is really intuitive.

You will need the terminal only for some more advanced stuff and maybe some setup steps, like getting Proton VPN. You really just copy and paste the commands Proton has in their instructions, that’s it. Mint is not officially supported but works fine - only issue I have is that while it launches on startup just fine, I have to connect manually. Support wouldn’t help as Mint is “not officially supported” but that’s about it.

Switching to Linux looks like a monumental task at first, but once you establish a beginer friendly distro you’d like to use it’s really straightforward. I can vouch for Mint in this regard.

It’s not that I try to ne hardcore. Reddit was alright, but I felt subconciously it is going to shit for some time. But I liked the format, so I stayed. The API fiasco just showed the really bad face of it (mainly how it was handled) and made an opportunity for people to talk more about alternatives. Sure, Lemmy doesn’t have as much stuff as Reddit, especially for more niche topics but I enjoy my stay much more.

I peeked in a couple of times but not for long.

Yes, but what isnthe prize? Is the prize real? Or is it just a construct that we imagine because we expect it? Can you even truly experience the prize?

There were also cases of people adopting gods. Just going “hey, this god you worship is cool, going to worship the god as well”

As a child, has to be Diablo 2. I had no idea what I was doing but I had fun. And it got me into reading, actually. I read some books now and then, but wasn’t an avid reader. But when I played Diablo 2, I found out there are books from the Diablo world and got one. I remember when I got home I was like “ok, since I got the book I will read one chapter and then go to playing” - well I didn’t turn on the PC for 3 days until I have finished the book. And then went to get more.

Another was World of Warcraft (though I was not exactly a kid by then). It made me fall in love with MMOs, a genre which I still love (though no game holds me today quite as WoW did - still hope for one though). And thanks to it I got to know people I’m friends with to this day.

Those two are the same for him at this point

I would if I could. A plank and a side plank were one of them. Other than that, no idea as I was shown the excercises, but was never really given names. And even then, I don’t live in English speaking country so might not be useful anyway.

It was mostly about strenghtening the core and stomach muscles, without straining the back much.

Not sure about pain levels. First time around, it was quite bad. I just suddenly couldn’t move, everything hurt so bad. Not quite blacking out pain but it was bad. I first did like one or two weeks of intensive back muscle stretching to be even able to do the other excercises. Currently the pain is not bad, but it is making my life dificult a bit as it blocks some movements.

I started experiencing this after 30. In my case it’s back muscles tightening up, because of bad posture that lead to the weakening of the core muscles which put too much strain on the back.

Got shown some excercises and got better after a while. Got back every once in a while, but usually I managed to get it under control.

Just got back again and wouldn’t get away for weeks now. Sounds a lot like what you have. I’m going ti schedule the doctor again, I recommend you do the same. This shouldn’t be normal.

This is great!

I’m sure I’d notice eventually but it was really @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net who tiped me off that this is the case.

This is satire, right? Right?

Guys…?

Awesome! There is apparently also this Thunder fork named Pferd but I can’t figure out how to get it. I guess it is still work in progress?

Your posts or comments won’t come but you will be surprised (I sure was!) that saved posts and comments are actually included when doing the export/import thingy

It does not. Allegedly it is planned but idk where this info originates
