Z4rK, in Any advice for someone who broke bones that need surgery to fix?

I triple broke my ankle in my youth. It was clean so doctor only had to pull and reposition the parts, didn’t have to operate.

Crutches for 8 weeks, you’ll never have so strong lower arms again. In winter so got ice spikes that you flipped down on the crutches when you go outside. Felt like a cool weapon. I could outrun a lot of people down the stairs and on ice.

Got all the cute girls to sign their name on the platter cast.

Wasn’t too bad! Itching under the cast was really annoying. At one place the cast had been too tight on the skin so skin was rotting. Leg was a thin slivered pathetic version of its former self. It’s insane how much you lose from such a short time. It’s fine now though.

Good luck!

intensely_human,

I could outrun a lot of people down the stairs

lmao

JustZ,

and on ice

Gee wonder how op got all banged up in the first place. Probably doing gainers off the pool shed.

Do your physical therapy. All of it. Its not fun in the short term but will become something you don’t remember doing and you’ll heal much faster

I plan on it. I don’t wanna be fucked for life

JustZ,

I work with a lot of badly injured people and my two pieces of advice based on my experience is to be committed to your pt and to practice mindfulness as a way to reduce the effects of pain. Pain disrupts sleep and concentration, and is really fucking exhausting.

wildcardology, in What is an musical instrument would you like to know how to play?

I already know how to play the guitar, only if I have a chord chart for the songs. I can’t play by ear which is what I really want.

scottmeme, in What are some modern bullshit jobs?

Scrum master

shalafi,

Mine rocks out with his cock out. I get a little annoyed with him constantly pressing us to find better ways of working, when we’re already the #1 team.

But still, the man really knows his shit and has turned a lot of things around for the company. He’s a good person to approach when you’re having a problem, of just about any sort.

OTOH, before we had him, we were floundering around trying to play agile and not actually accomplishing anything.

The way I learned agile scrum master was a role that everyone on the team rotated through, not a specific person.

naught,

It can definitely be/is a dedicated role. A useful one too, though not always…

Never met a scrum master yet who was actually a driven motivated individual. Its almost like it’s a default job you just fall into if there’s nothing else for you

agressivelyPassive,

I’ve seen at least two SMs who were really motivated and they can actually be a tremendous help.

My last project was complete chaos, and that one lone SM managed to get it all streamlined and efficient. Then he was pulled from the project and everything collapsed again.

hypnotoad__, in Any advice for someone who broke bones that need surgery to fix?

You’ll feel helpless for a while. It sucks.

But there will be a point in a year or two, where you actually make it a day or two without even remembering your injury. That’s how you know you made it through to the other side.

You’ll get there friend! I broke a small bone in my wrist a few years back - required many surgeries and i went a long time without being able to do the things i loved. My wrist isn’t perfect, but I have my life and activities back. You’ll get there, be patient and kind to yourself through the process. I definitely had moments where I wanted to define myself as “broken” - but your body is just a vessel. You’re gonna be OK.

Violin, hammered dulcimer, lute.

theKalash, in Does lemmy have videos now?

I really hope not.

Luckily hosting videos require quite a lot of resources so it will be too much for many smaller, selfhosted instances, which will hopefully contain the spread of it.

ptz, (edited ) in Does lemmy have videos now?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

It’s up to the client on how to render them. Most videos I encounter in Lemmy are linked from outside sources or are on YouTube.

  • Lemmy-UI has no or limited support for anything but images.
  • Tesseract is on the other end of the spectrum and supports pretty much every kind of media.
  • Photon supports GIFs and native (mp4, webm) videos.
  • Other UIs and mobile apps, I haven’t kept as up-to-date on but are typically somewhere between Lemmy-UI and Photon’s level of media support.

Edit: In addition to what clients support, it’s also up to each instance admin to define what media they allow to be uploaded. Among the possible configuration options are:

  • Whether to allow any media uploads at all
  • The max size of the media they’ll allow users to upload
  • Whether to allow videos or just static images
  • Whether to convert videos to GIFs or static images
  • Whether the media subsystem (pict-rs) can process the upload before the upload request times out. I think that’s 10 seconds which limits direct uploads to short videos.

Like others have said, hosting videos is expensive both in areas of storage and bandwidth. Most Lemmy instances are run by volunteers at their cost or operate solely on donations. Admins typically ask users to host those off-server (Imgur, YouTube, Catbox, etc) and restrict what can be uploaded directly to reasonable limits.

AnokLola,

I’m using voyager on Android and I like it so far, don’t want to replace it.

ptz,
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Like I said, it’s up to the client on how to handle what’s in the post. So you’ll not have any media support that Voyager doesn’t offer.

@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

Well you can’t base your ideas about how all of this works on anything if you’re only willing to use one frontend.

AnokLola,

Yeah sure

My mom is on her way to my house right now. I told her to grab my backpack which has a book in it. I have so many books to read lol

scarilog,

Libgen for free ebooks (if you don’t mind reading ebooks)

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

Oh shit I didn’t know about that resource.

AlmightySnoo,
@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world avatar

Also get audiobook versions in case reading books gets uncomfy. Wishing you a speedy recovery! 💪

Oh that’s a good idea! And thank you!

Mr_Dr_Oink, in What is an musical instrument would you like to know how to play?

Drums. I can play a basic beat but i would love to learn to play properly. Plus my band needs a drummer.

LegionEris, in What is an musical instrument would you like to know how to play?

I guess piano, because I got a free piano off the streets. I could look up videos and lessons, but I’m kind of self conscious about practicing on a real whole god damn piano in an apartment building with neighbors in every direction. I also just don’t like to make a lot of noise. I should price an electronic keyboard I can pair with Bluetooth headphones to practice in perfect silence and privacy sometimes.

Mr_Dr_Oink,

I would buy some cheap second hand yamaha keyboard and set it up on a table. Something like this:

RockJam RJ761 61 Key Keyboard Piano with Keyboard Bench, Digital Piano Stool, Sustain Pedal and Headphones amzn.eu/d/6uVi2Yu

They go a bit cheaper than that too. But anything with over around 66 keys would work.

See how that feels first. If you get into it and enjoy it then move over to the piano you have or spend more money on a proper electronic piano that you can use with headphones.

I own one a bit like this

guitarguitar.co.uk/…/220131380566008--yamaha-ydp-…

Though mine is 20 years old now and cost a few hundred less.
