“pretty small”, it’s like 2 Canada’s.

I started running to lose some weight recently. And I genuinely enjoy it.

It’s alone time, time to think, or listen to an album or podcast and just be alone.

I enjoy the progress I’m seeing. Every week I can run further than I could the last week, every week gets easier and faster, and beating my pb is a real endorphin rush. Every week I weigh less than I did the previous week.

I enjoy feeling proud of myself. It would be so easy to sit on the couch and watch Netflix. Or play a silly little video game. And that’s what most people do. I enjoy not being most people. I enjoy putting in the work to better myself.

I enjoy pushing myself. When my legs burn and I don’t think I can run anymore, but I push through that and run another kilometer. the runners high is real. Not comparable to a fun drug, but still feels good.

So yeah, I’m not a fitness guy, but working out definitely has it’s place and can be enjoyable

It definitely is a good choice for some people, I wouldn’t give my mother in law an Android device.

But the iphone as a platform is inferior because it can do less (although Android is definitely headed in a similar direction)

You know those Irwin quick clamps that are very popular, blue and yellow quick release clamps. I have a bunch of them and they’re fine.

I also have a bunch of “craftright” clamps. Same thing, but the clamping force feels so much higher, the Irwin clamps are what I use if I’ve run out of my cheap knockoff clamps

these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.

Based on what? These private companies aren’t going to share anything because they owe it to their shareholders not to.

I dont think any of your points are wrong, it’s just the association with Facebook people are anti. The fediverse has a great reputation for being completely removed from profit motive driven mega corporations. Facebook joining is gonna make people question the fediverse is my understanding.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but having a name for a Lemmy user is cringe.

What are you gonna ask someone at a party if they’re a lemming? They’re gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.

It has big “the narwhal bacons at midnight” vibes.

Yes absolutely! I like that I can basically catch up on all Lemmy content in an hour or so. It means I don’t spend hours mindlessly scrolling (like I did with reddit) and gives me more time to do something more meaningful

Australian here, never met anyone who boils tap water before drinking it. Some people have filtered water taps installed but our tap water is usually pretty great, I drink probably 2-3 litres of it a day
