An update to how many boring, repetitive communities I need to block to make Lemmy enjoyable
  • I really want to do this, but it would be impractical to go through the thousands of communities available and decide if I like it or not. It also doesn't account for new ones which means I'd have to keep going through the list and look for the ones I haven't looked at yet. Therefore, I've just done it Reddit-style where I look at what's the top posts of the day and see if I like what I see.

  • Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life?
  • we deny to the poor

    I see this a lot, but unless you're talking about free range organic stuff, bulk commodity foods like rice and black beans are among the cheapest yet most filling. What's the reason they're not more common in these situations?

  • Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life?
  • I can see where Bullyland might exist among regular people, but not among doctors given that M6L is literally run by Dr. Now's son and overweight + obesity is approaching the number 1 preventable cause of death in the US. I guess I just have a different perspective than most?

  • Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life?

    I'm watching both of these shows in their entirety and I don't know why they've historically gotten so much backlash. One reviewer called TBL "a dumpster fire of a TV show" and others seem to think M6L is downright abusive. However, I can't find anything particularly bad in either.

    Although it's true that in TBL the contestants are losing an egregious amount of weight each week, it's likely (actually almost certain) that most of this is water weight and it would have been more dangerous to instead not lose the weight. The intense exercise scenes seem pretty typical for anybody who's serious about athletics. Finally, the famous "damaged metabolism" study that shut down TBL turned out to be debunked due to "damaged metabolism" being a boring, normal adaptation under high physical activity.

    And although there are tons of bare naked shower scenes in M6L, everyone knew that going in and they agreed anyway. Some also complain how the stars don't receive enough support for things like therapy and other cost centers. I would say that would actually have been a great thing to add, but it would be impractical at scale and have a high chance of bankrupting the production with how much healthcare costs, resulting in a net loss of benefit for those who need the surgery.

    So, what's your viewpoint here?

    GitHub - Slackadays/Chata: :guitar::magic_wand: DSP made easy. The Chata programming language! :long_drum:

    Hi everyone, this is a little project I've been working on. Chata is a programming language that's just for DSP or Digital Signal Processing.

    DSP is the core technology behind a lot of fancy things like noise cancelling headphones, medical radiology equipment, and other advanced mathy things like that. Unfortunately, it's hard to deal with unless you want a barrage of bespoke, often closed-source tools and libraries.

    The idea behind Chata is to get rid of everything you don't need for DSP in order to make it easier and freer to do awesome stuff with DSP. If you're wondering where I got the motivation to do this, just scroll to the bottom or look at my Lemmy username!

    The amount of communities I need to block to not see the same old stuff over and over again

    I used Reddit for nothing but memes and niche technical content, so I hope we can eventually get the same here on Lemmy.

    My FOSS terminal clipboard manager is now at version 0.8.2!

    Release 0.8.2 · Slackadays/Clipboard

    Hi everyone! I'm the developer of a clipboard manager that I know many of us Linux users here might know, called just The Clipboard Project.

    I've spent the past couple months working on a bunch of speed optimizations, little fixes, and a really cool new feature for Linux only: asynchronous X11/Wayland clipboard synchronization. What that means is that you can copy stuff in the background and your CB clipboard will pick it all up automatically.

    If that sounds awesome, then you can get the brand-spanking-new 0.8.2 version at https://github.com/Slackadays/Clipboard or this post's link (thanks, Lemmy!)

    Release 0.8.1 · Slackadays/Clipboard

    Hi lemmies! A few months ago, I started working on something I called just the Clipboard Project. It’s a clipboard manager that’s for the terminal, and at the time it was the only such option around, and still is today.

    Well, today the Clipboard Project version 0.8.1 is released. It’s a followup to 0.8.0 with some absolutely kickASS optimizations thanks to Linux’s (and actually other POSIX OSes like macOS, FreeBSD, etc.) support for asynchronous IO. There’s also a whole bunch of UI/UX improvements including being able to copy text straight from the terminal without quote characters, fuzzy file searching, and shell completions.

    I’ve posted on r/linux for each of these big version releases until now, but because SOMEBODY decided to kill their golden goose, I think Lemmy is the perfect replacement. If you’re reading this then you probably think so too!

    If the Clipboard Project sounds interesting to you then there’s a handy link right in the post so that you can get 0.8.1 right now. This wasn’t possible until super recently on that other site so Lemmy has the upper hand here!
