Will Ukraine ever actually get the F-16s? Russian air defences have been preparing for their arrival. Would be ironic if all that work was done for nothing.

The .opus audio format. People need to stop ripping everything to MP3, it’s inefficient and a flawed compression format. Opus is better than it and AAC.

It’s an American obsession.

Are you just going to pretend that there is no racism anywhere else? It was the Europeans that colonised half the planet and invented the concept of “whiteness”, and proceeded to divide and carve Africa up. Are you just going to pretend that this action has had no influence on modern European ideas around race and class? And I haven’t even mentioned the Roma people. Or the ongoing genocide in Palestine, which has a racial component. Or the rise of Hinduistic fascism in India. Or the issues around race in my own country in South Africa. Racism is a global issue.

Personally I see most of these prejudicial issues being an exclusively American problem that has been exported abroad

Have you forgotten who colonised most of the world, including America? This is in no way an American centric issue. Racism exists in most countries on earth.

A lot more tourism to Cuba from the US.

the most similar instance to reddit, culture-wise.

Why would anyone want that? The whole point of being on Lemmy is to get away from Reddit

While the piracy community being among the biggest arguably doesn’t make for great optics

I’d argue otherwise. It is great optics to have a thriving piracy community. It keeps the corporate boot lickers out, and attracts the kind of crowd that we should want on Lemmy.

Same, but that law is not enforced at all.

Should be illegal and considered child abuse

At home I have a set DML panel speakers set up in a 2.1 channel system with a subwoofer. The panels themselves are made of EPS polystyrene that has been sanded down and coated in wood glue, are about 1 meter tall, 30 centimetres wide and 2 centimetres thick (3 foot 3 inches tall, 1 foot wide and 4/5 inches thick) and have rounded edges and corners. Each panel has a Dayton Audio 10 watt exciter mounted to it on the location recommend on their website. The subwoofer is a ported down firing unit, which I have placed in the corner of the room for corner loading.

Also big vibes lol. Telling others to stop being ungrateful and disrespectful, while being ungrateful and disrespectful themselves.

Wow, when are you going to realize that you work for your users?

Do you pay their salary and have an employment contract with the developers of Lemmy? If not, they do not work for you.

And 2000€ per month is a ton of money. Most open source devs get nothing. Stop being so ungrateful and disrespectful to the community that you work for.

This is not a typical open source side project. The developers work full time on it, it’s basically their job. That 2000 Euros is their monthly gross salary. Average monthly salary in France is 2340 euros net as of 2022. The developers of Lemmy are earning well below average.

How lazy must the song writing be for the Eurovision people to think it’s too political? You can absolutely hide political messages in the lyrics, in a song about love, sex partying, etc, and the vast majority of people will not notice. Quite a few bands have made careers out of doing exactly that. I mean just from the song title, you know that they are going to be very heavy handed with it.

Ahh damn you got me there! The more US backed coups, the more democratic of course! 🦅🦅🦅🦅🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

The failed presidential candidate and Republican politician John McCain was literally on the ground in Ukraine rallying supporters for the coup. It was extremely obvious. The there was also the Nuland “fuck the EU” leaked phone call.

Imagine if some senior Chinese politician showed up in Mexico and started rallying supporters for an anti-USA coup. US citizens, liberals, conservatives, would lose their minds. Yet they do that in Ukraine, and it’s fine. Biggest hypocrites on earth.

Well I’m focused on gaining weight and getting bigger muscles/muscle hypertrophy, so I don’t do many skills, just the basics done with high intensity, close to or at muscular failure in the 6-15 rep range. So definitely not high rep calisthenics. I’ve been training seriously for your about over a year and a half, in my early 20s, 70kg/154lbs at 185cm/6’1. Before starting, I used to weigh 57kg/125lbs. Once I get to 15 reps, I change out the exercise for a harder variation. I’ll put my current rep counts in brackets. All reps are pause reps with controlled negatives, this is very important so that you don’t cheat the reps by using momentum. I’ve added videos of the exercises as well.

Day 1:

Three sets of chest to bar pull ups (10), three sets of single leg squats (13 on each leg), three sets of decline push ups with elevated hands for a deeper chest stretch (12), and three sets of single leg calf raises with a deep heel stretch and an 8 second negative (11).

Day 2:

Three sets of single arm inverted rows (12), three sets of of partial rep Nordic curls (6), three sets of deficit pike push ups with elevated hands and feet for a deeper stretch (8), and three sets of tibialis raises for ankle health (15).

Day 3:

Same as day 1.

Day 4:

Same as day 2.

After this, rest for one or two days, depending on fatigue. If really exhausted, rest for a third day.

For me diet has always been focused on clean bulking because I was so underweight. I’ve found peanut butter to be very helpful in adding calories to meals. I put it in my oatmeal now, also lots of peanut butter sandwiches. Also rice is really cheap where I live. So I had a lot of egg fried rice with some protein like chicken or beans added to it, and cheap vegetables like carrots, with lots of spices and soy sauce for flavour.

I just do calisthenics at home now. I’m not going to a gym, can’t afford it and gave no desire to do so. If I do end up going to a gym in future, it will definitely be one of the smaller local ones, instead of something like planet fitness

This is a big issue with fitness content on social media. The majority of the creators are a bunch of men, and increasingly women, with unrealistic bodies, on anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs while lying about it, and giving out poor workout and diet advice so they can sell you some overpriced nonsense program.

The problem with legitimate fitness content is that there is only so much you can say before you repeat yourself endlessly. So the big legitimate fitness YouTube channels pump out short content that’s just a repeat of their multiple years old videos, so they can remain relevant amongst all the fakes. Which is vastly preferable to the nonsense put out by illegitimate fitness influencers, but still a little annoying, that to get the good knowledge out there , you have to participate in this endless rat race to the bottom, that is modern social media.

I just work out and do my own exercise program I made now, I don’t care if it’s suboptimal and not trendy/in fashion, I’m having fun and seeing results. You should do that too with your own hobbies, and it seems like you are so that’s great.
