Here’s a link to a list of Lemmy apps:

RocksForBrains, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Conservative proganda is a highly coordinated and well-funded network. They pay for preference.

It’s not that so much as Howard Stern theory. The people that like that stuff, click on it and move on.

The people that hate that stuff hate it enough to interact with it… That means more time on the site, more ads, more revenue.

It’s just the hate algorithms… They’re lucrative.

SpicyTofuSoup, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

For me it’s about making it a routine and part of your daily life. I started out with 3 days a week lifting and now do 3 days lifting and 3 days cardio. I find it’s easier to stick to and enjoy if it’s something I do everyday. The other thing I’ve noticed is you really need to pay attention to nutrition and sleep too. Working out is a lot easier/ more enjoyable if you are providing your body with the nutrients it needs and getting enough sleep. If you just eat junk food you’re going to feel like junk when you workout

Yeah this is the same for me, I go to the gym 4 days a week and do cardio for 2 a week at the moment. The habit is easier to keep if I go more often, at least for me. Then it’s not a matter of should I be doing something today but more of a is it gym or cardio time?

SpicyTofuSoup,

Same! Each day is “is it a gym day or cardio day”

Barky, in Lemmy world mobile

I had to reset my password for some reason, then it let me login

snake_case,

There was some malicious code in links a few days ago. So a few instances logged everyone out as a quick fix

MothBookkeeper, in What's a good way to prank your coworker?

In our office, any time someone leaves their screen unlocked, we turn everything upside down in the display settings. Good way to remind people to Win + L when they get up. 😆

Mastersord, in Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?

The karma/upvote/downvote system encourages engagement and gives users an idea of how others perceive their posts. It also encourages people to think about their posts and it helps keep garbage from clogging up the feed.

The problem is that posts are now “attention-centric” and that might lead to people posting stuff that’s more controversial or even “rage-bait” because it gets a reaction.

But honestly though, the toxicity was always there. It’s just that now people express it with an arrow click instead of a flame post calling out the OP’s mom.

I think anonymity or at least the perception of it on the internet breeds toxicity because it’s easier to hurt someone when neither party has to look each other in the eye.

Check out vger.app ; it’s a PWA so it’s “installable” to the launcher.

PriorProject,

The lemmy.world instance has its own voyager install at m.lemmy.world so you don’t have to enter your creds into a 3rd party proxy.

krnl386,
@krnl386@lemmy.ca avatar

Neat! Nice of them to do that. It seems to be a few releases behind, though.

PriorProject,

Yeah, fair. I feel like I recall them mentioning an auto-updater that they hadn’t yet set up but planned to.

Folks that want to get faster updates can certainly use the voyager Dev’s instance… it’s the source after all. For someone like me that doesn’t want to enter their credentials into a 3rd party proxy, I’ve been testing world install of voyager alongside Jerboa and Liftoff and it’s been a solid option.

krnl386,
@krnl386@lemmy.ca avatar

I hear you. I run my own instance in Docker with watchtower for auto-updates. Voyager gets lots of updates, however, so watchtower doesn’t keep up for the time being. Hopefully with time things will stabilize more and there will be less frequent releases.

Version, in What password manager do you recommend?

Definitely Bitwarden, but there‘s also a new product from Proton called Proton Pass. It works similarly to Bitwarden, but a few features are still missing.

Steamymoomilk, in What password manager do you recommend?

I just use my very smooth brain Although its not very relible

@001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yea my smooth brain almost forgot my lemmy password lol. Hard to remember passwords when constantly depressed.

Christopher,

How about your login name? Hopefully your string of binary means something to you so it’s also memorable!

001100010010,
@001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Shhh… It’s the secret to time travel! Or at least 1/3 of it.

Edit: Spoilers: It’s from

spoilerFuturama, Bender’s Big Score, the time code printed on Fry’s ass (yes, literally)

Christopher,

As long as it’s not also your password in reverse!

001100010010,
@001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

No my password is not in reverse, it’s in inverse. Hackers are so dumb, when I’m already playing 5d chess. 🤓

Christopher,

Be sure to invert it twice, to be extra secure. 🔐

visnudeva, in Do actors all need to agree to casually smoke for some roles?
@visnudeva@lemmy.ml avatar

I have a question of the same kind, how do they do when they clearly sniff coke ? What kind of white powder isn’t harmful to the nose is used in cinema ?

merfolk,
@merfolk@lemmy.world avatar

I believe they use inositol powder.

fearout,
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

As far as I know, it’s usually crushed vitamin B. Shouldn’t feel like much unless you do dozens of takes.

At least that’s what they used in Mr. Robot.

visnudeva,
@visnudeva@lemmy.ml avatar

Thank you for your answers !

Nightmaru, in Do actors all need to agree to casually smoke for some roles?

They’re herb cigarettes. Think about how long scenes take to shoot, it could be days for a single scene. They’d be smoking multiple packs in a day of nonstop smoking. Even actual smokers wouldn’t enjoy it.

eltimablo,

I dunno, if I got paid to smoke 3 packs a day I think I'd be pretty happy. I also hate my lungs more than most people though.

Lemjukes,

Sure, if you’re an A-lister making millions. But as a day player doing background work for <$200/day? Nah…

eltimablo,

That all depends on who's paying for the cigarettes

Mr_Buscemi,
@Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I remember hearing that’s what they used in filming Peaky Blinders when they smoke all the time.

The_HKP, in What can a senior desktop support tech do who is burned out?

I was a SysAdmin/Tech Support for 15+ years and also super burned out. I moved into Analytics, specifically using visualization software (Tableau) with SQL, and I could not be happier with it. The stakes are so much lower, and therefore, so is the stress. I feel that it's just technical enough to scratch that itch, but not so much that I end up just doing tech support again. Nobody needs a pie chart at 3 fucking am like they needed with server reboots.

With your background in tech, any viz software should be relatively easy for you to pick up. I was able to get into a free program in my area that trained for Analytics, so I'm not sure what may or may be available to you in your area. But at the very least, there should be plenty of stuff online for learning Tableau and SQL for free if that interests you.

ablackcatstail,
@ablackcatstail@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

That’s really good that you were able to get out. I guess I could consider Tableau and SQL but I literally have zero passion or interest in it/for it. If I am going to make a change, this time it both has to make monetary sense and has to be something that I don’t hate every waking minute of.

Knusper, in What's a good way to prank your coworker?

You could ‘upgrade’ them to a better operating system: malisipi.github.io/ubuntu-tour/

🙃

kthxbye_reddit,
@kthxbye_reddit@feddit.de avatar

Or turn an iPhone into a Samsung via https://trygalaxy.com/

Knusper,

I enjoy how when you connect to it from an Android phone, it’s like:
What in the fuck do you want here?! We’re not spending computing resources on you, dumbass. Go, send it to your heathen friends!

EtnaAtsume, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I certainly do. Sometimes I have to get over the hump to actually GO to the gym on workout days but I’ve never once (well, okay, one workout I had one time after going regularly for years did leave me unsatisfied - I will admit that) finished up a workout and been like “what a goddamn waste of time and energy”.

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

Bitwarden is the exact app you just described. I use it. It’s great.
