I use Fiton for my strength training. I have never in my life been able to do a pull up, but I have learned so much about my body and my capabilities with this app. To start, I filtered by bodyweight only, but I did eventually get several sets of dumbbells over time. This one requires more focus for me, so I don’t g nearly pair it with videos or anything, but I do find it very fun when they suggest I do something that I’m sure I couldn’t do, but I try and realize I can.

For me-- the idea of just doing a few of the same set of exercises wore out fast, so the app also has the plus side of having a LOT of variety.

I agree with this. For me a lot of the brain game is reducing the barriers I have to beginning.

• I use an app so I don’t have to think about what to do (fiton, highly recommend) \
• I plan what time I’m going to do things throughout the week, but sometimes I even ‘plan’ for flexibility. Eg. Monday Wednesday before work, Saturday and Sunday I’ll do xyz at some point before dinner.
• I look for opportunities to blend active time with other enjoyable things (like watching a TV show while I’m on the treadmill, or listening to podcasts)

I thought this headline was a Clinton joke.

Ty when I make the request do I need to be specific about which diseases I’m concerned about or is it going to automatically cover everything?

Ok, I just asked this further but as an adult should I be seeking boosters? If I live in a deeply red state, will my doctor balk at the request?

It is challenging to get good health information. My family has all completed the normal prescribed rounds of vaccines and are up to date. Do we need to seek boosters?

Former teacher here. Any teacher that would comply with such an order to inspect is also a fucking piece of trash.

Once our assistant principal went on a witch hunt about enforcing uniform compliance. He wanted us all to inspect socks to ensure they were the right color. Turns out the color of my kids’ socks doesn’t impact the learning environment, so no, we aren’t wasting class time on this.

So no, I’m not inspecting genitals. And if there is a move to do such a thing at school, I’d spend the entire class time calling parents letting them know what’s going on.

Nazy sympathizers.

This feels like part of the plan. They make agencies do it and distribute blame for the crash. Elmo is already a scapegoat for Turp. Now they can roll that shit downhill.

Yep, 💯

Agreed, but No Starch are usually great

Gaslighting. Now when feds complain about loosing their jobs, trumpets will say they’re spreading fake news. Also, I know some feds who are also trumpets. Watching their brain explode isn’t worth the apocalypse.

Doing the task should take as much effort as they are going to spend evaluating the task. Which means you should ask char gpt to write it for you.

New os, who dis?

Is there a Lemmy fednews? I’ve been lurking on reddit solely for this news, but noticed a distinct change in tone in the past few days, and I think they may be drowning in muskrats before too long.

So if you don’t need to create an account, how do you know you’re talking to who you think you’re talking to?

I can see this being valuable as a Lemmy style service where I’m sharing information and reading information but want to be anonymous. But not a good service if I want to talk to my mom about a sensitive subject and protect my privacy.

Yes, I really have t looked into this before. I just vaguely remembered jokes about PGP from a security class a while back, so looked it up. It does look like the encryption scheme used in XMPP does solve this issue.

Wikipedia saves the day again:

OMEMO is an extension to the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) for multi-client end-to-end encryption developed by Andreas Straub. According to Straub, OMEMO uses the Double Ratchet Algorithm “to provide multi-end to multi-end encryption, allowing messages to be synchronized securely across multiple clients, even if some of them are offline”.[1] The name “OMEMO” is a recursive acronym for “OMEMO Multi-End Message and Object Encryption”. It is an open standard based on the Double Ratchet Algorithm and the Personal Eventing Protocol (PEP, XEP-0163).[2] OMEMO offers future and forward secrecy and deniability with message synchronization and offline delivery.

Precise language is important if you want to understand and communicate truth. It helps a lot to understand the difference between privacy and anonimity there is a scenario where a person doesn’t care that an adversary knows their id, but does care about the content of their messages. In which case, differentiating tools that provide that particular service requires language to discuss it.

PGP is a very curious choice. A quick Google search says a downside of this is that it does not provide “forward secrecy”. From the Wikipedia page on forward secrecy, it prevents things like the following.

If an adversary can steal (or obtain through a court order) this static (long term) signing key, the adversary can masquerade as the server to the client and as the client to the server and implement a classic man-in-the-middle attack.
