Dev Appreciation Post

A few months ago I requested the option to mark as read by scrolling through your feed as I saw another Lemmy app added that feature. I got a reply that they would try their best but it seemed like it would be a difficult task.

Well I’ve just noticed that this feature is now an option! I may be late to the party since I don’t know when it got released, but how cool is that??

I’ve been very impressed with the development and responsiveness about requests, and this sealed the deal in making me a Memmy user for life!

[Woj] BREAKING: The Portland Trail Blazers are trading guard Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks, sources tell ESPN.
  • Massive trade. Really sad to see Jrue leave, he was so good for the bucks. This means they will likely be relying even more heavily on Brook Lopez to anchor the defense. Also I know Phoenix wanted to get rid if Ayton but Nurk seems like a downgrade

  • The US hasn't won a medal at two consecutive FIBA World Cups, this is the first time this has happened since they started sending pro players in 1994
  • It’s kind of frustrating how the top US players in the league don’t seem interested at all in playing in the World Cup.

    If we had Steph, KD, Dame, Tatum, Brown, AD, Lebron, Harden, Jimmy Butler, etc it would be so exciting to watch. Everyone would be talking about them all off-season. I mean we can barely even convince some dudes to play in the Olympics, I just don’t get it. The load management excuse is so lame.

  • does anyone else find that deoderant/antiperspirant makes them sweat more?
  • I’ve found that when using deodorants with aluminum, my body basically builds up a tolerance to them and compensates by sweating more. The more I would apply, the more my pits would sweat. I’ve switched to deodorants with magnesium instead and that has helped me a lot!

  • Canada beats Slovenia 100-89
  • So annoying. I think before last season Coach Kidd said he talked to him about easing up on talking to the refs, and that lasted about 2 games.

    One of his only downsides as a player but it’s a big one. How many times did we see the mavs give up points on a 4v5 break because Luka was too busy whining to get back on defense? The excuse was that he’s young but he’s far enough into his career to mature out of this behavior.

  • Discussion Thread: Team USA vs Team Puerto Rico

    Decided to make a thread for this since I didn’t see one posted. Team USA played Team Puerto Rico in their first FIBA game of the year and won convincingly, 117-74.

    A few growing pains since these guys have only been together for a couple days, but they looked amazing in transition as that was an emphasis from Coach Kerr.

    Jaren Jackson Jr looked dominant on both ends of the floor with 12pts/7rebs/2blocks.

    Anthony Edwards may have been the most impactful player with 15pts/2rebs/4asts along with a handful of steals as well as a blocked shot! (Box score lists him with 4 steals no block, but if you watched the game one of those steals was a blocked 3 pointer)

    The Hoop Collective podcast yesterday mentioned that Ant would be a player to watch and that he has the potential to step up and lead this team, and it looks promising so far! His defensive effort was great to watch and he had some nice flashy passes.

    Also want to shoutout Jalen Brunson who had 11pts and 12rebs, one of the smallest players on the court and dominated the glass.

    Vent Post about VO2max

    I’m sure people have seen posts criticizing this feature on garmin communities in the past, but I just wanted to share my personal experience. Over the past 3 months I have really been putting effort into my exercise and fitness level, I do some sort of workout 5 days a week whether that be a bike ride, basketball cardio, or lifting weights. I can feel my body getting in much better shape and see the results in my physique, and notice my stamina and energy levels improving.

    And yet, garmin VO2max seems to think I’m regressing! I know there are a lot of variables like temperature, elevation, whether I did a workout already that day etc but it is SO frustrating to see that my number did not move for 2 months and then has dropped twice in the past month, meanwhile I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since before the pandemic.

    I know it’s just a silly number and isn’t the whole story, it isn’t always accurate etc. but it’s still so annoying to see. I went for a 3 mile walk today and I felt amazing, it was very warm out and the trail had a lot of hills so I know for a fact that played into the measurement, but garmin says I’ve dropped 2 points since I started working out and that’s just so dumb.

    Anyways, rant over, thanks for reading if you did.

    TLDR: Garmin VO2max is useless unless you’re training on a completely flat surface on a perfect weather day that isn’t too hot. Don’t let the stupid number discourage you, focus on the workouts and how you feel, because I feel amazing!

    How often (And for how long) do you train Zone 4?

    Hello all. I train on a stationary bike as well as a road bike, but have been doing more stationary lately. I’ve read a lot of conflicting opinions on heart rate training zones and wanted to get some input. I’m still somewhat new to bike exercising.

    How often do you interval train, and how long is your workout?

    Right now I do a zone 4 session about once a week, and do 5 minute intervals with 5 minute “rest” periods, so my total ends up being around 15 minutes in zone 4 and 15 minutes in zone 2.

    Just wondering how other people are doing their workouts.

    Any feedback, opinions, or input appreciated!

    Figured I would make a general free agency post for reactions and discussions of news. Feel free to post FA signings in the comments or just give your thoughts on things so far!
