  • Holy shit, makes me wonder how the posture and arrangement for the leg press translates to carrying heavy loads in the upright position.

    What weight do you think you could carry if it was strapped to your waist?

  • coming back from my extended hiatus just to smirk at yall
  • Reminder that anything that currently makes you feel happy and content in saving american democracy is likely a conservative psy-op designed to keep you home on voting day.

    Remain scared citizen, remain frantic until after voting day. Feel free to relax afterwards.

  • Come back to us, stripey dog
  • In colonial india, the british put a bounty on cobras. Indian villagers who would have usually just killed the cobras and went on with their day now tried to catch them alive so they could then farm them for multiple bounties. This ballooned the snake populations to ridiculous levels, and then the british found out about the scheme. They then cancelled the bounty program, and the snake rearers released their animals on places they thought were far from people.

    Net result: More snakes than ever before.

  • Do stores use bank account info to analyze shopping patterns?
  • I think paying in cash cuts down on trackin massively. Can you still be tracked? Yes. But are most stores going through the effort? I don't think so. Depends on the store too, I guess.

    Maybe my tin foil hat is getting rusty, but to me it just feels like they'll just move on to the next dude who payed by card instead.

  • Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

    Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

    What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

    What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

    Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

    List Open Source Workout Trackers you use here.

    Does anyone here use any Open-Source Workout Trackers? I've been using hevy, but their high fees, the fact that they are a company that holds my health data and has made no commitments to open source, User privacy, or fair trade practices like user data import/export has me looking around. I wanted to see if anyone had reliable open source alternatives.

    Tell me your workout tracking stories here! Tell me what you liked and what you disliked.

    I've been thinking of switching over to Voyager, but I heard that Voyager was built on elements from Chrome. As a layman what does this mean?

    Is using Voyager giving Chrome an opportunity to harvest user data? I'll take whatever you know about the Voyager dependence on chrome.

    Piped link to Fireship's video about C2PA
    piped.video Piped

    An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend which is efficient by design.

    Piped

    Useful because now you'll be able to tell that something is human-generated instead of AI-generated, and content creators and people with a large public presence will now be able to police their own likeness being used by randos.

    Scary both because now whistleblowers or reporters could get their cover blown because the image has metadata linking them to it; or they could strip off this metadata and get the evidence dismissed entirely as fraudulent; and also because of the possibility that any regulatory government body that enforces C2PA will also determine what is real and what is not, meaning anyone on the inside will be able to generate AI content and pass it off as real to the vast majority of the population.

    Can't help but think they shortened it to C2PA instead of CCPA because of the similarity in acronyms of the latter and the big bad no-privacy country.

    What do you think? Non-issue, Slightly concerning, or apocalyptic?
