Yessir! Also note that there’s an animals category that has a cat or two as well, but the one you reference is the one that serves as my personal desktop homey.

OKAY OKAY HERE YOU GO.

Geez

I tried to upload a screenshot but it keeps throwing an error. Here’s a link to it from their web Site.

I got bored but then I noticed almost immediately how I spend so much extra time just navigating my phone on other launchers. So I switched back and then they released a wallpaper that has a fun cat in it and now he’s my home screen homey and I’m good

His bodyweight only A/B is BRUTAL. Like in a get great results but you also feel like you’re going to die way.

This will not directly answer your question but while perusing at work I came across darebee.com , which is a fitness website run like Wikipedia. There are no ads whatsoever. There’s a video library showing how to do tons of exercises. Workout programs can be filtered based on your equipment availability and ability level, and everything is available in a PDF download absolutely free.

Really cool site, give it a look.

If not Threads, how do we turn this FOSS venture free of corporate interference into a new avenue for a mega corporation to harvest all of our data for profit?

If not Threads, how will we ever ruin this place by turning it into Reddit?

If not Threads, who will I shill for?

Picking a better instance for your main is most advisable. Users can accept that the primary benefit of a free and open source federated service can also sometimes inconvenience them, or they cannot. Complaining about the core mechanic of the technology that literally cannot change is silly IMO. Corporate owned centralization leads to enshittification. Your account age indicates that you know that first hand.

Reddit syndrome still affects a lot of users here, who view having multiple accounts on different answers as an inconvenience instead of a feature of the platform design. The irony is that tons of users on Reddit had lots of accounts without batting an eye, but that extra step of having to lick a new instance is just SO complicated.

I’m reading more and watching movies way more. I LOVE movies. Sometimes in the 2010s I completely lost the ability to watch movie without being on my phone. My goal is to change that

Same, I kinda like it. I’m rediscovering what I did before I got addicted to social sites without realizing that’s what happened. Turns out I still enjoy movies and books!

Just to piggy back you can also block entire instances, which becomes more useful when using discovery sorts like scaled. Like if the entire instance is in a language you don’t speak, block that shit!

I haven’t commented anywhere in this thread, so I’m being objective. Look at it this way - I’m an American and our government is speed running towards facism and very much may re-elect a convicted felon who was caught stealing classified documents and sending them to our enemies. Similar to your problem, that is very much our problem, and the only real way to undo it is for other nations like yours to make us fuck off and deal with it.

That’s what people are getting at. It sucks for the people like you, like me, that are powerless in this situation, but from a macro level, it’s what needs to happen. Everyone sympathizes with you, the person, but very few sympathize with the country as a whole, as it’s viewed as self inflicted. Try not to take it personally, and recognize that it’s not coming from a place of racism, but objective rationality.

I paid for Textra over a decade ago, and it’s easily the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s the best texting app I’ve ever used and I highly recommend everyone check it out. They still churn out updates regularly and the features are above and beyond most messaging apps.

Yes you’re right. A feature so popular that it’s been adopted by most major auto manufacturers is complete garbage. Everyone hates it. Graphene is only even adding it to appease like 3-4 people tops!

There are barely any sports on? Hockey is on nearly every single day. Football playoffs start in two weeks. College championship is next Monday. NBA is on if you’re desperate. If you’re not American get yourself a VPN and watch anyway!

Get yourself a sixer, kick your feet up and do whatever the fuck you want!

Hey fucker you took my answer! She’s the best tho isn’t she? Mine is the best. I’m sure yours is the best. They’re the best.

I wanted to lose weight for my wedding. I was 230 pounds (up from about 220 pre-covid) and I wasn’t happy about how I looked or felt. So I got my wife (then fiance) onboard and told her I wanted to lose weight and started calorie counting. I set a goal of 185 by the wedding (September of the same year). I got there with 8 days to spare, and I love that I look fit and happy in all of our beautifully wedding photos.

The key is to start small, set attainable milestones, and have a support system. You need to feel and see success or you won’t stay motivated! I couldn’t have done it without my wife who helped by putting every calorie of every meal we made into the tracker. I made every five pounds a celebration, and a “cheat/treat” day. There will also always be set backs, and disappointing days/weeks. That’s where it’s important to keep perspective and be proud of how far you’ve come, and use that as motivation to keep going.

A better question might be why shouldn’t they? I’m not being pedantic (at least not intentionally) but if their defining characteristic is that they’re nothing special, just a simple Linux distro that does the basic shit easily enough and looks nice - that has major appeal to people unfamiliar with Linux looking to leave other OS’s behind. The vast majority of people that use an OS really have very little idea how it works or why. They just want some basic level of understanding and control over it.
