  • Canadian media’s promotion of sports betting should have limits

    Jump

  • I don’t even watch sports and I get buried in gambling ads.

    Only started after moving to a somewhat struggling blue collar town, but it was immediate, and the pure volume of it was shocking. Really hit me wrong.

    Adblock and VPN everywhere possible now. Degoogling, containerized browsing, hardened settings, like damn basic privacy shouldn’t have to be so much work.

  • Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month

    Jump

  • The regex redirect feature is another massive pro. I hope they bring it into Orion as well.

    I already use Stop the Madness for this, and probably will continue to as it’s a more global solution, but having it built right into the search engine at least shows they’re taking real steps to hand control back to the user.

  • Want a healthier heart? Seriously consider skipping the drinks - Harvard Health

    Jump

  • The irony in this statement, talking about a known depressant lol

    Drinking for me is increasingly borrowing happiness from tomorrow, and the older I get, the higher the interest rate climbs.

    I’ll still enjoy a drink, but have definitely become more choosy about when and whether it’s worth it.

  • What are some of the best questions to ask someone new to you, to better get to know them?

    Jump

  • My go-to is to ask what they like to do in their spare time.

    A lot of the time you’ll get answers about how they have none or how it’s filled with chores, but you can always redirect and say, if you suddenly had a bunch of free time just for yourself, and you couldn’t use it to work, what would you fill it with?

    In my mind the latter gets you down to what brings them joy, and in some cases how they want to see themselves, which can tell you a lot about a person.

  • France orders Apple to halt iPhone 12 sales due to high radiation levels

    Jump

  • Even if they did (they won’t), they can pry my mini out of my hot, irradiated hands.

    I think the best we could hope for is a simple firmware update, assuming enough of the right people make noise about it. I’m sure Apple would much rather we all just bought new phones though, so they won’t do anything unless they have to.

  • Are there any privacy respecting podcast clients/methods?

    Jump

  • Oh I didn’t mean to imply otherwise - Overcast is awesome.

    I guess I worded my question poorly. I’m more asking if there’s any way to block trackers without blocking the entire podcast.

    The stream/download just hangs, or errors out because it “cannot connect to creep.noteventhehost.fm” or whatever - just won’t load at all until I unblock and it’s able to do its dirty work.

    Not sure if this is even within the capabilities of a client… I’m starting to think not, and that I’ve asked a stupid question lol

  • What are some adventurous outdoor activities with low risk of injury?

    Jump

  • If you live near water, kayaking can be an incredibly immersive pursuit in nature that doesn’t really tax the body (unless you want it to)

    Trail running is another one of my favourite things to do, but while much safer than MTB still can have some risks… minimal though, comparatively speaking

  • After a week of blocking every porn sub I see I’m feeling defeated

    Jump

  • You can filter out instances with Memmy now, via Settings > Filters

  • People Who Buy Big 4K TVs and Watch Without Your Contacts or Glasses On. Why?

    Jump

  • Because I’m tired of wearing them by the end of the day, and most of what’s on our household tv I’m not really watching anyway.

    Also if I’m messing around on my phone, glasses need to be off b/c distance, and I’m not about to put them on/off every time I switch focus when I’m just trying to relax.

    I will wear them if I’m watching something intentionally, though. Like a nature documentary or something with visuals worth appreciating.

  • Has anyone used Kagi Search (search engine)?

    Jump

  • Oh damn, good to know. I’m still kind of newly figuring out better privacy-minded options for myself. Thank you!

  • Has anyone used Kagi Search (search engine)?

    Jump

  • If you like google’s engine without all the trackers and other garbage, check out https://startpage.com

  • The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

    Jump

  • Ungoogled Chromium is my current favourite

    Previously was using Firefox Developer’s edition which is also decent. But I like a minimalist browser that acts more like a framework to which I can just add what I want, and doesn’t come with a lot of bullshit I don’t need.

  • Is anyone else disappointed that Lemmy is becoming the new Reddit?

    Jump

  • I used to think of “blocking” as an extreme measure, but for us individuals, it’s really not. You get to decide what your feed looks like. Especially here.

    BAMO -> block and move on

    What flipped the mental switch for me was facebook, of all places.

    I hate it and was off it for years, then we moved to a small town with no subreddit, only a damn fb group. Man I went on a blocking spree with all the proudly terrible people, and now I have both an actually useful local town group AND a separate handy list of people I don’t need to bother meeting.

  • Are we doing community icons?

  • I made a set with a white background for you :)

  • Sure can :)

  • That shortcut! You seriously rock, thank you.

  • My favorite summer soup!

    Jump

  • I love a good gezpacho in the summer. Super refreshing

    This one’s new to me and it sounds delicious. I love everything that’s in it. The colour is gonna be a challenge for westerners though… Pepto Bismol trauma giving me an unpleasant Pavolvian response to that shade of pink haha

    Feel like it might be worth trying anyway

  • Are we doing community icons?

    Jump

  • Yeah I tried reaching out to them the day they posted looking for a graphic designer, but they left me on read for the whole week so ehh

    Just saw their new icon though, and it’s nice. For sure better than the rudolph rat.

  • Oh man I absolutely feel this.

    I’ve been self employed WFH for almost 20yrs now and the lunch-alone struggle has not gotten easier.

    When I do make the effort though, it’s usually worth it.

    Lately I’ve been in a rut where, if I get up from my desk at all, it’s to forage, not prepare a meal. Like, I’ll call a fistful of peanuts or a banana lunch, or some cold fridge meat with mustard and no plate. It’s depressing.

    When I make something colourful and intentional, though, I always feel better. It forces me to get my head out of work mode and take a break, and it’s satisfying to make something that looks and tastes nice. I feel more like a person too, if that makes sense. Not to mention my brain works better when I actually feed it real food, heh

    Like anything, it’s just starting that’s the hard part.

  • Seared Salmon, Summer Salad

    Jump

  • Ha, try it and see! I like it, my spouse does not.

    If you just immediately plunk it on there it can definitely steam the greens under it, but I let the fish rest 5mins on some folded paper towel first so it works good enough :)
