_haha_oh_wow_, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I used to, but I fell out of the habit. Mostly with strength training, kinda hated cardio haha. The only way I liked cardio was to hop on an elliptical and tune out to a show while I “ran”.

Deez, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I have never upgraded every year, I used to every two years, then three. Now I’ve had my iPhone 11 for almost four years, and I’m planning to keep it for 5. It will probably still get new OS updates for another 1 year after that (total of 6).

There is no reason to update your phone every year.

simon574, in What exercises can I do to strengthen my willpower?

What is it you are distracting yourself from? The low motivation could also be that you are not really believing in a goal or you are not enjoying a task because you would rather do something else with your time. As others already said if you “suspect” you have ADHD you could also try therapy.

Yes, of course. But if you don’t enjoy it, you don’t have to do it, or don’t have to do it at the level you’re attempting. There are 1000 ways to be fit and healthy, you don’t have to pick 2 and do them forever. Experiment.

nonearther, in Who is the third faction in the leaked Google memo about AI?

A wild guess, but could it be Microsoft?

I mean they are already creating use cases and integrating them in their apps, especially their business suite.

While Google and OpenAI are ahead in AI innovation, I feel Microsoft is getting ahead in implementation and actual end user scenarios.

Microsoft office offerings are still much larger than Google’s, plus they capture Dev’s needs with GitHub CoPilot and VS/ VSCode integrations.

I feel like by the time Google will be ready or OpenAI’s contract with MS ends, both of these companies will lag sufficiently behind MS in real world.

Zeth0s,

Microsoft currently lack the internal know how on AI. It is behind. They are the best understanding the average user/company needs, but they currently depend on openai. Either the buy openai (risking to destroy it because Microsoft is relatively bad at real research and cutting edge engineering) or they need to invest a lot more than Google.

If you read the memo, the 3rd player is meta. Microsoft is not even considered.

Microsoft will for sure make more money than anyone else, because that’s their job, making more money than anyone. They are a bad tech company, but a great money printer company

eric5949,

Microsoft owns part of openai don’t they?

what_is_a_name,

It’s a complicated deal, since Open AIs corporate structure, but they are one of the bigger supporters and get a lot of their profits.

eric5949,

Sidenote, I think its absolutely criminal to call your company open__ when there’s nothing open about it.

Zeth0s,

No, they are separate entities. MS heavily funded openai once musk left and has a preferential access to its products and tech

bstix, in What is something you think leftists are not ready to hear but need to hear it?

They need to know that the system can only be changed from within. Being apathetic or edgy does not change anything. Voting does.

If there’s is no one to vote for? Well, the parties too can only be changed from within. Join a party and vote in that party for it to change it’s direction.

irmoz,

This is naive and optimistic. No political change has actually come from voting. The civil rights act was not voted, but fought and died for. Same with worker’s rights.

Illegal_Prime,

There was plenty of anti-slavery political involvement leading up to the civil war, the New Deal was started by the democratically elected FDR, we’ve recently seen the disparities in LGBT rights depending on who holds majorities in government. All these come from voting and deliberate policymaking whether it be through ingenuity or bigotry. Fight tooth and nail for your right to vote, but ALWAYS use it, and make sure to educate yourself about who is on your ballot.

LongbottomLeaf, (edited ) in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Gyms are weird. However, trail running in my favorite park til I feel like I might go into cardiac arrest is great! Plenty of distracting wildlife, no cars. Pushing past that feeling of “I’m gonna die” as I pass the muscular heavy lifters.

What can you do to cultivate this? Uhh…hate yourself and love the outdoors? But in a “guess I’ll floss cause it hurts” kinda self loathing. Also gotta find a park you wouldn’t mind dying in.

wetnoodle, in What are these comments on lemmy posts?

ebits21, (edited ) in What password manager do you recommend?
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

There’s only two real choices imo.

Bitwarden or Keepass (KeePassXC for desktop, you’ll need one of many app choices for your phone).

Keepass you would sync to your own cloud provider and use a key file for protection.

Bitwarden is the obvious answer that fits all your criteria.

Rakn,

Why are these the only real choices? What makes the others not real?

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

Only ones I trust that are open sourced and have some kind of audit.

Rakn,

Don’t closed ones like 1Password also have audits? But I guess it’s a personal philosophy.

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

Sure. But I wouldn’t trust closed source software for passwords. Personal decision.

ChrislyBear,

What are thr benefits of KeePassXC over the regular “original” application?

ebits21, (edited )
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

I use Linux and flatpaks so XC is the obvious choice for me - much nicer to use across platforms that aren’t a windows and only one available as a flatpak. Nicer interface. Supports TOTP codes (all I use it for, Bitwarden for passwords). More active development.

I use KeePassium on iOS with the same vault.

pensivepangolin, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

If you mean in a gym? I hate the gym and am one of the people that only likes the effects.

If you mean outdoors, like cycling or running or hiking, then oh yeah! It’s fun to lose yourself in the action: it’s meditative as the physical action is repetitive and it allows you to just take in your scenery and let your mind wander freely.

quindraco, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Working out is pain and suffering, but you can get so used to it you don’t notice/mind the pain.

-hypnotoad-, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?
@-hypnotoad-@kbin.social avatar

My first memory was "hey, who chewed up this Atari 2600 controller?" Before realizing it was me...guess I was just forming memories at the time.

plutolink, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
@plutolink@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, I love it. I feel that enjoying it comes with a few factors: knowing what you’re doing is correct and maximizing each workout, and a shift in mindset that the “dread” of it doesn’t actually have to be dread, which takes time to shift your head into as you get familiar. Of course, there are days where I’d rather not go, but showing up for the ritual is what matters, at that point. To get the post-workout high, you have to push yourself adequately to feel it. It doesn’t have to be equal intensity of it afterward every single time, but it’s a good sign that you’ve worked out really well.

Blizzard, in What's a good alternative to followthatpage.com

VisualPing but it sends you e-mails.

terere_user, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

Hottest 48°C (52°C Apparent temperature) Chaco region, Paraguay

Coldest 0°C Paraguay (it doesn’t get extremely cold here)
