I cycle for adventure and experience, it's also why I prefer gravel and offroad cycling to road. That gravel crunch in the forest, smell of the trees, sound of birds and absolutely no traffic is pure bliss. Ok sure there is some suffering during climbs, but the feeling of accomplishment when you finally get on top and the descent that follow are worth it.

I join one gravel competition a year, but I go for the event, not to actually compete. I like riding with one friend, on paths where we can ride side by side and chat, and I don't see a point in group road rides where you just stare at the butt of the rider in front of you the entire ride.

In general I experience joy the entire bike ride, it's like my therapy, a couple of hours without a phone, outside, just me and silence. I guess the fitness that comes with it is good too.

The only way to keep the current motherboard is 7700K, but that's reall not worth the upgrade over 6700. You will need a new motherboard. You can get intel 12 and 13th gen or Ryzen 5000 and still use DDR4 RAM, but only if your RAM is at least 3200MHz CL16. If your RAM is slower, then you would've be getting the full potential of the new CPU. And in case you need to buy new RAM, you might as well get DDR5 since it doesn't really cost much more than DDR4, and you can get Ryzen 7000 series CPU.

If you're getting intel 13th gen, make sure you pick the correct motherboard with the right RAM support, while CPUs support both kinds of RAM, the motherboard will only support the one kind it's designed for.

Keep it in the PC as a secondary drive, you can move some gsmes to it which don't really benefit from the SSD, or just move them so you don't have to download them again.

It's also great for media storage, playing movies from SSD won't be any faster, and if you keep your PC powered on, you can setup a plex server or a network share, and access the movies from the TV for example. You can also make backups of your data from the SSD to the HDD, it's not as good as a backup in a separate computer, but it can still protect your data in case your boot drive goes corrupt (because of Windows updates), or simply if you delete a file by accident.

Yeah I just don't see a value Reddit can have for shareholders, other than selling ads (even more). If it was insanely profitable, the owners would be reaping profits already.

More companies should stay private, look at Steam for example, they're doing things at their own pace and developing things that aren't instantly profitable because they're not concerned with shareholders opinions.

Probably because people treated subs like hashtags, yeah let's repost this photo to as many somewhat relevant subs as possible. Every other social media uses hashtags, so reddit must be the same, right?

But in some smaller, non default, niche communities, you still found plenty of quality, original content. Many of those were too small to probably even make it to Lemmy at all, let alone gain some traction. But I'm happy /c/flashlight is over here already.

you just see nothing but porn.

Oh horrible, please tell me where exactly that is so I can make sure to avoid it.

To be fair I have never found any useful information on Twitter from Google search results.

Everything in the backpack, I don't like stuff in my pockets while riding.

Not all instances require email to sing up, I'm signed up without one.

Y'all have friends?

Instagram is also turning to shit, it's just reposted content from tiktok, they're really pushing the reels over images. I joined Instagram because I liked the photos, if I wanted to look at tiktok content, I'd use tiktok.
