Only on Lemmy would someone with (likely) zero experience in combat sports tell someone that a sport known for rampant knee issues is “their fault”, and not due to the increased force on the knees from doing a ground-based sport.
Again, only on Lemmy would someone say “you can’t be fat in your seventies, these famous people aren’t”.
Well yeah, if you spend your life doing martial arts of combat sports your joints are probably absolutely fucked, and you’ve got no hope of getting meaningful exercise in without considerable pain. Hell, I’ve done BJJ for only ten years and my knees are a wreck. I know Seagal is into aikido and shit, but being rich I don’t blame him for being fat in his seventies. It’s really fucking hard to stay in shape when you get old.
You may not like him, but the man’s in his seventies. This is what a person in their seventies looks like.
That’s much clearer, thanks for sharing!
I have a few friends at the Beeb, albeit not in the newsroom, and they have a blanket ban on ALL GenAI tools that aren’t self-hosted. I would be very surprised if IT at the BBC wasn’t blocking Apple Intelligence outright.
Although reading the article, I can’t really tell if this means content was rewritten on the BBC content side, or a hallucination on-device using BBC content.
Does Musk actually care about Twitter any more?
It’s served its purpose. It won the election for Trump. Musk will probably just focus on being Trump’s puppy and let Twitter slowly die out.
It could have been good if all the planets were actually playable.
It felt like half a game, and another six months to bake would have probably turned it into a great game with some replayability. Put a gun to my head, and I couldn’t tell you the plot, but I remember both “some” fun, and a lot of frustration of how short it was.
As someone in big tech that has “heard stories”, I’m willing to bet that if someone were to somehow dig into tech companies with a performance management policy to promote attrition, they would find that many people that have entered maternity leave also end up being forced to leave or terminated because of their selfish desire to have something in their life other than work.
It’s also probably a developmental aid also. As someone with a child, you’d be surprised at how laser-focused parents can be with regards to developmental delays or issues and ensuring that their kids have every opportunity to meet specific milestones.
IMO while it’s absolutely not a replacement for human interaction, something like this with the right backing could be very useful to a lot of kids that need additional help.
While I agree in principle, a blanket enforcement seems like a great way for companies to purposely tank smaller entities just to get hold of their code/IP. Alongside this, it probably doesn’t help to just release the code, when these devices will run on web services, or perhaps even proprietary tech.
In this case, it would be a great way to dissolve the company. Switch the endpoints over to a custodian project, have the servers owned and run through a community campaign, and open source the code and artifacts.
Cool, but the rhetoric on Lemmy around non-federated social media being stupid indicates that many others here aren’t.
Tell basically all young people that.
You not liking it does not mean it doesn’t have appeal.
To put this pay into perspective, you could take it and give everyone in the US that is living in poverty around $1400. It wouldn’t necessarily save them from poverty, but such an amount would undoubtedly help over a million people in a dire situation.
Outside of people that use federated services, most people don’t give a fuck about federation.
While true, a lot of older people in the UK get really, really racist when it comes to their bloodline. Some people view themselves as more British than others because of their lineage towards the Saxons, as opposed to people that have been here for 100+ years that may have originated from elsewhere. Many don’t consider anyone to be British if they emigrated from somewhere like Jamaica, India, or Ireland because, in their view, only the pure Anglo Saxons are the original Brits, even if 5-6 generations of their family grew up here, embedded themselves into society
I do agree that Americans are really weird when it comes to their ancestry, especially considering they come from a country that is very anti-immigration. IMO if you want to claim that you are 50% British or whatever, you shouldn’t be blocking British people from moving to your country (and vice versa).
It’s not a great look…but let’s be frank. Biden was pushed out of a race he wanted, during a presidency that wasn’t all that bad considering what came before. The Dems that wanted him out are now all either infighting, or saying everything is fine and they’ll definitely win in four years. Biden’s in the last weeks of his job, and when he’s lost so much already he probably just wants to ensure his family are safe.
After decades of public service, and being committed to handing power over to someone that’s demonized what’s left of his family, I’m all for Biden using his last week or two to protect his family and enjoy retirement.
It’s all well and good to blame the generation that can’t afford shit to use payday loan companies to buy shit…but when these companies align with the likes of Dominos Pizza to allow you to buy a pizza and pay off in several weekly installments, maybe it’s time to blame prices for being ridiculously high?
Saying he can’t be bought when he had to explain a metric fuck-ton of gifts he received from donors, from Arsenal season tickets to an insane amount on glasses, and multiple tickets to Taylor Swift, indicates a man that can very easily be bought.
In theory, a Sir that is known for being a chief prosecutor should be the hardest person to buy…but that’s the joy of politics I guess.
IMO Kier is a bit of a bellend, but a vast improvement on the shower of cunts in the Tory party. What I would love to see him implement is a true UK constitution to ensure that any wrongdoing in office results in criminal proceedings. Those in politics should be held to the highest standard, and if you’re caught taking bribes, selling access to friends, or abusing lower workers while in office you should be banned from holding office AND see jail time.
I’m the same, and had paid for it during the Reddit days of the app. I’m hesitant to pay a subscription this time around, though, since the creator has always left for months and come back with a flurry of updates - which is entirely up to them, but a turn-off for something I’ll pay for periodically.
Sync is still my daily driver, and IMO few Lemmy clients come close.
That ignores a huge psychological aspect of weight gain, alongside several questions that contribute:
I can say that for the latter points, it is incredibly hard to do so, looking at my parents and with people I’ve trained with. Furthermore, going from fighting fit to limited care can make you explode in both weight and joint issues. I’ve trained with a few army guys or people with pro sports experience, and it’s mad how even in your forties you can go from a sub-twenty minute 5k to throwing up on a mat during a 5 min spar.
