I went to a couple social dances hosted by a local ballroom dance club. I like pretending I’m someone else, someone cool, since I don’t know anyone there.

Isolating variables like this is so cool!

Such a cute name, and it seems like it suits her!

That’s impressive. Is it still licensed under a libre copyleft license? Surely that’s too good to be true.

I’m East Asian. My ex (also Asian) said I smelled bad sometimes after exercising, but my current partner (not Asian) says I don’t have any body odor. I do think that when we go to the gym together, their smell far outweighs mine. I can’t smell myself at all, but then again, people are usually habituated to their own scents.

Sometimes, though, when I was a child, my father would come home from the gym, and we could all smell him from a mile away. I don’t know if that’s because the gene skipped him or if it’s just because humans generally think their close family members are stinky.

It’s nice to talk about this when my armpits aren’t in danger of being sniffed by several drunk friends.

Thanks for the explanation! I’ve taken the liberty of posting this to bestoflemmy:

Network Time Protocol? Cool, didn’t know that!

Huh, I thought it was ARM enough to work with existing other distros, but I guess not. I learned something new today, thanks!

Congrats. May I ask why you choose to go Fedora rather than another Debian derivative?

It would be great if it could become a virtually universal social media eventually, but for its quirks to be understood by everyone, some critical mass of first adopters must understand the fediverse. So I think the fediverse will self-select for technically knowledgeable people at first before eventually becoming accessible to the public, not by any fault of its own but by virtue of having been around long enough and grown enough of a community to attract the average person from traditional social media.

I also think there are different instances and communities for people with different priorities. People interested in the ideas behind the fediverse can congregate on lemmy.ml (because that’s where Lemmy’s developers are, right?) and in FLOSS communities, etc., while people looking for a social network that won’t use them for profit can flock to region-specific instances, etc.

I’m using GymRoutines. It’s for gym routines only, not weight loss or nutrition. It’s perfect for my needs.

Made me laugh. Thanks.

True — you can’t prove the thing that already happened had nothing to do with me thinking real hard about it!

All the time. I know it’s not real, but it’s fun to try to predict when exactly the bus is gonna come. It’s right after this blue car! … well, okay, maybe it’s right after this white car! oh…

In MLA format, no less.

(I’m sure there are better ways, but I’ve never used anything else extensively.)

No, that’s weird.

I was gonna say a trans-inclusive lesbian / straight man, but this fits way more.

Oh no!!! Took a second read.

Weather

OpenWeather: shows weekly overview by default; if you select one day it shows you a nice graph of precipitation and temperature for that day. Good for figuring out the forecast at a glance.

Weawow: the Hourly Details view is amazing for scrolling through the next few days hour by hour and seeing precipitation amount, precipitation probability, temperature, and so on all at the same time. I love the detail it provides. Also, I believe the beautiful pictures in the app are community-donated.

Store apps

Neo Store: Doesn’t allow auto-updating, but I like its layout significantly better than F-Droid.

Social media

Voyager for Lemmy: neat compact layout allowing you to see many more posts at a glance than any other app I’ve tried (Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder). Also lots of nice features like marking newly created accounts with a baby emoji, ability to share comments as nicely formatted screenshots (I didn’t think I’d use this feature but it’s honestly so convenient!), and ability to customize swipe behavior.
