Given that Lemmy is largely populated by programmers, I assume they have done next to no exercise through their 20s and mostly sit hunched over in a chair all day. So now that they are hitting their 30s, they are paying the price for abusing their bodies.

You don’t need to be huge like Arnold, but find some way to move your body every day. While you’re young in your teens, 20s, and 30s find different and interesting ways to keep your body moving and build up strength, whether that be swimming, running, larping, lifting weights, finding a local exercise meet-up, local sports league, or walking to a park and using the little exercise machines.

A lot of the back issues will go away with more core strength and lifting things properly with your legs. If you can’t think of anything, then start by sitting up straight and tall in your chair using your core to stabilize yourself and see whether in a few weeks you can get through a half or maybe even full day without slouching. Anything is better than nothing!

I live in TX and we’ve had many Christmases at that temperature.

I did it myyy waaayyy! 🎶

The gender neutral for nephew/niece is nibling

Lol, you have to use fractional measures because each degree is further apart. I thought I had made that point. Sure you won’t ever get rid of all fractional measuring in any system, but it’s much easier if you don’t have to use as much

I pointed something similar with regard to thermometers to a group of European tourists. In Farenheidt, 98.6 is the normal temperature and if you are getting sick, people will say that 99 is a low-grade fever. While that is a. 4 degree difference in F, that’s only a .2 difference in C.

Likewise for weather, F is much more precise and easier to communicate given that there is a smaller interval between units. There’s more than 2 units difference in F for every 1 unit difference in C. That’s huge when you’re talking about the difference between 38 and 39 C

I’m using Connect and it provides an option to block an instance

That’s interesting, my labels and inbox, outbox etc are all underneath those

Interesting, I’ve seen that on desktop and mobile app for nearly a decade.

Gmail sorts email by tab. Click the triple lines and you’ll see Primary, Promotions, and Social. Basically Gmail didn’t like the word spam, so they named the folder promotions.

I think it’s talking about emails in the Promotions tab with the word “ad” in a box at the beginning of the subject line.

I’ve seen a lot of posts recently about FOSS. I’m not a programmer, so I don’t know anything about it. What is FOSS and does it have a big advantage over other software designs?
