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. Of course, there are days where I’d rather not go, but showing up for the ritual is what matters, at that point.

Nerorero, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?
@Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Garlic, lots of garlic. Plant it in your garden, under your windows. Rub your doorframe and window frames with it. Rub the dog collar with it.

Helps against Ticks as well

I guess if it works to repel one type of blood sucker, it should work on all of them

TeaHands, in What are some interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon?
@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

Kind of completely depends on what topics you find “interesting”. I never quite got the point of following people, myself, it’s why I wasn’t on Twitter. But thankfully on Mastodon you can follow topics via hashtags instead and just dip into the interesting convos without having to deal with whatever other nonsense people talk about on a daily basis cluttering up your feed.

Interestingly that’s also how Twitter used to work, but I understand it’s quite different nowadays so people struggle a bit with changing back to topic-focused.

Royalish,

Would you mind sharing how to follow hashtags? Couldn’t figure it out n the mobile app.

@emptyother@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah no, the default app doesn’t have this feature for some weird unknown reason.

imaqtpie, (edited ) in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?
@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works avatar

Probably had to be Goldeneye on the N64. Split screen with my cousins.

But the first game I really played by myself was Link’s Awakening DX on the GameBoy Color.

Honorable mention for Pokémon Gold.

Edit: Just remembered Humongous Entertainment. Freddie Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox on the PC.

Backyard Baseball. The original Super Smash Brothers on N64. Super Mario Bros Deluxe on Gameboy color. Perfect Dark on N64. OK I’m done for now 😅

SeeJayEmm, in Do I need to remove metadata from pictures before uploading?
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

That is an absolutely amazing question that I’d also like the answer to.

SeeJayEmm,
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

I did a test upload of an image I knew had location data and it appeared to be stripped when I viewed the post. That being said I’d like a definitive answer and I do agree with everyone saying, the only way to know for sure is to do it yourself.

wilberfan, in What password manager do you recommend?
@wilberfan@lemmy.world avatar

Gratifying to see all the love for Bitwarden!

rufus, in Blocking posts?

just asking: are there porn communities aside from the ones on lemmynsfw?

Hiru,
@Hiru@lemmy.world avatar

Of course there are, don’t know about your instance but here @lemmy.world there a handful of these

Blizzard, (edited ) in Do I need to remove metadata from pictures before uploading?

I’d disable attaching metadata to pictures in your phone setting in the first place, especially location.

lwuy9v5, in What exercises can I do to strengthen my willpower?

ADHD Brains are different - so some advice that works for non-ADHD brains may or may not work.

In general, being present and meditation (in whatever way that works for you, but, generally the practice of observing your thoughts as they go by but not reacting to them) are helpful for ‘strengthening’ your thought patterns. Becoming aware of things and building up that muscle is how you can have more of that willpower.

Habits can be very difficult to build, don’t get discouraged. Find things that work for you and ways to incentivize or motivate yourself.

Oh yes I’ve come across her channel before. This is unrelated but have you found any good ways to deal with the ‘wall of awful’ that she describes in one of her videos?

Zozano,
@Zozano@aussie.zone avatar

I have ADHD and meditation has been a great help. I used the Waking Up app to learn to meditate, which removes all sorts of mysticism from the equation. The introductory course is great, it starts out simple enough but begins to become very interesting by about day 20 or so.

Amazing what 10 minutes of practice a day does.

  1. Make sure the time and timezone is correctly set on your device, TOTP is time-dependent and both the server and the smartphone needs to have the same time in order to validate the code.
  2. Lemmy uses SHA256 instead of SHA1 like most other websites using TOTP. Honestly I’m not sure Google Authenticator supports it, as I don’t see the option when attempting to add a key manually.

Toy Story The game on sega mega drive. My parents bought me a mega drive for my birthday, it was such an experience for me.

Try one of these maybe? !lemmy_support !nostupidlemmyquestions

Hopefully these help. It wouldn’t let me copy paste them so hopefully I typed them correctly. If not check the sidebar.

stagen, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?
@stagen@feddit.dk avatar

I haven’t gotten a new phone in the last 3 years and I don’t think that I will get one before the iPhone 15 comes out. I’m well satisfied with my iPhone 13 mini.

The fact that most newly released phones don’t go that small annoys me so I’ll keep it until I find something worth while or of similar size.

nerdria,

My dream is that Apple will release a mini every 3 or 4 years just for me. I currently have a 13 mini too, and I reckon a 16 mini would be perfect.

Otherwise I might end up with an Asus Zenfone, even though it is bigger than a mini.

-hypnotoad-,
@-hypnotoad-@kbin.social avatar

I would look into Asus' software upgrade policy. From what I understand it's pretty abysmal; something to consider when you're someone who holds onto phones for more than 2 years. Google and Samsung have much longer support cycles.

Jaywarbs,

I love my 13 mini! Yeah I’m the same with wanting smaller phones. I had the iPhone 7, then waited until the SE 2020 model, and now the 13 mini. Hopefully they keep releasing mini models.
