I've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one 12 points 1 month ago

A lot of these recommendations are for advanced gamers.

Some more entry level games include Portal and journey.

Slay the spire is also excellent if you like card games.

Them being nonprofit has nothing to do with the pursuit of marketshare. Plenty of nonprofits want to maximize marketshare. Them being nonprofit means they are mission-driven.

And what is that mission?

Per the Signal Foundation's website:

Protect free expression and enable secure global communication through open source privacy technology.

Generics are required to be as efficacious as name brand in the US.

I do not understand your point on encapsulation and the form of the drug. Name brands can have different encapsulations and forms within their own line. That has nothing to do with it being name brand vs. generic.

Is this instance abandoned? (lemmy.one)

We are still on 0.18.3, whereas lemmy.world is 0.18.5 (released at the end of September).

Jonah's account does not seem to be active either. Is it time to jump to another instance?

I want to self host. But I want it to be low effort. How should I go about it? (lemmy.one)

I want to self host in order to run Nextcloud, Firefly III, Home Assistant, maybe Photoprism, and maybe a couple other things down the line. And I want it to be fast and with low maintenance.

What would be the best thing for me? PikaPods? Can synology servers run those apps?

I am considering installing TikTok. Any suggestion on how to make it less privacy-invasive? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Totally fake profile data, VPN with DNS tracker blocking, and put it in a separate user profile or work profile.

The actual answer is that not paying your public officials makes them even more susceptible to corruption.

Best (Android) app for a progressively harder ab workouts? I do not have the best abs and I want to work on my strength and endurance in c/fitness@lemmy.world

[-] ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one 9 points 8 months ago

I am asking this question because I want more capable abs to power my exercise routine. I am aware of the body fat percentage requirements to reveal them.

I want a program, preferably through an app, that applies the principles of progressive overload to ab routines that does not require equipment.

What do you recommend?

Extension that syncs a bookmark folder with a browser window? (lemmy.one)

submitted 9 months ago by ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one to c/firefox@lemmy.ml

3 comments fedilink

I have a habit of making windows for different things. For example, let's say I have three windows open. One for school, one for work, and one for leisure.

I want all my work tabs to persist even after closing firefox. Once I close a window, all the links get saved to the bookmark folder. I would then open the folder and start with those tabs open again.

Does anything like this exist?

Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica Review in c/android@lemmy.world

[-] ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one 14 points 9 months ago

I believe the reason they don't is because:

They have a small team. It is not worth it at this point to support more devices.
The Pixel series is considerably more secure, and that is the area they specialize in.

How can I compare the money saved when buying an item in bulk? (lemmy.one)

Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?

When restaurants shut down, why isn't it more common for them to publish their recipes? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one 27 points 9 months ago

Plenty of restaurants source rarer ingredients than your local grocery store and use advanced techniques to create flavor and texture combinations that are hard and time-consuming to do as a home cook. It isn't simply "add more sugar, fat, and salt."

I'm getting bored of weightlifting. What should I do? (lemmy.one)

submitted 9 months ago by ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one to c/fitness@lemmy.world

20 comments fedilink

I've been lifting consistently for about 18 months. In that time, I did 5/3/1 for Beginners and GCZLP.

I can squat 200 5x3, bench 145 5x3. I do lower weight deadlifts because I hurt my lower back last year doing them. I avoid overhead pressing because of right shoulder impingement.

I do accessory exercises as well.

I find myself getting bored doing these exercises. I want to continue to build muscle and strength, but I am not sure what to do.

I like to run but I am working through an injury so I am progressing slowly to get back to where I was a year ago.

What do you suggest I do?

Lemmy.one server failure in c/meta@lemmy.one

[-] ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one 24 points 10 months ago

My biggest concern was that there was no way to find information about what was going on. Your Mastodon had no information.

There was a thread on Lemmy support about it and some people thought the instance was gone forever.

I am using Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection. This means my timezone is set to UTC. How can I change it to my local time while preserving the other elements of tracking protection? (lemmy.one)

submitted 10 months ago by ViciousTurducken@lemmy.one to c/firefox@fedia.io

Certain websites and addons follow browser default theme or timezone in order to determine whether or not to display day or night mode.

Websites such as a Lemmy and addons like Auto Night Mode need to be able to determine my timezone so they can automatically switch between day and night at the appropriate time.

is there a way to set my local time while making sure the rest of the privacy protections remain active?

Thanks

Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The UI is a little too cluttered and messy for my liking but it's a solid app! Love FOSS software

They have reduced AOSP connections to Google domains substantially in the last year. Many are now proxied through their own servers now.

Curious about Mastodon. How should I pick a server? (lemmy.one)

Additionally, In order to not overwhelm the largest Lemmy instances, I opted to register with a smaller one. Should I apply the same logic to mastodon.social and the other large instances?

Thanks!

The first alpha was just released and is only available on Github at the moment. The dev has been active in contributing to Geometric Weather after the main developer of it disappeared. It looks like he decided to just fork it and make his own thing!
