Running General Chat - Weekly Thread Sat 14 September 2024
  • I work from home so I spend most of my time barefoot. Shoes always felt wrong in some way. Arch support felt like it was in the wrong place, too narrow, or other problems depending on the shoe I tried. Even Altras were just not quite right. I got some Merrell vapor gloves. They're zero drop and extremely thin (6mm stack height). Because of this, you have to run a little differently than you would in a traditional shoe, mainly just avoiding heel striking and paying more attention to what you're stepping on.

    I'm taking it slow so I don't end up getting injured, but I still managed seven miles total in the first week with the new shoes.

  • I finally found some shoes that don't hurt my feet! For the first time in my life I'm looking forward to going on more runs, intentionally holding myself back so I don't get injured from pushing it too soon.

    Wikipedia is facing an existential crisis. Can gen Z save it?
  • I personally use LLMs in the workplace. It's great for generating boilerplate code, especially stuff that is often very repetitive like test classes.

    Go Vegan!
  • I do wish we still had something on lemmy.world similar to the old vegetarian home cooking community. Vegan has ethical implications, which makes some people perceive it as all or nothing.

    All that colonizing, and for what!?
  • Acid is another magic ingredient. Lemon juice, vinegar, or even just straight citric acid from a shaker if you don't want to add more liquid. Sometimes something will taste like it needs more salt, but adding a touch of acid is actually what it needed.

    Historian who accurately predicted 9 of last 10 presidential elections makes his 2024 pick
  • Coincidentally the odds are that almost exactly one will guess 9 out of 10 correctly, and about four people will guess 8 out of 10 correctly. Odds drop to about 1 in 1000 for guessing all 10 correctly.

    It's disappointing when game companies place it at the bottom of the priority list
  • A Plague Tale: Innocence and the sequel Requiem are both amazing. The games are both very linear, which to me helps with narrative urgency feeling authentic. I highly recommend the games.

    [META] MBFC bot
  • I agree that the bot is problematic and don't think it provides valuable information. I personally have it blocked. Leaving the community and blocking the bot both result in one less person advocating against the bot.

  • I browse lemmy primarily through the local feed and mute communities I'm not particularly interested in. When a different community posts a link to a muted community, the post opens without showing any comments.

    Example: I have muted the no stupid questions community. Someone posts a link to a post in that community to best of. That post opens fine and shows the correct number of comments, but no comments are visible.

    [Epic Games] A Plague Tale: Innocence | 100% off/giveaway

    https:// store.epicgames.com /en-US/p/a-plague-tale-innocence

    This game is absolutely worth its full price of $40. The gameplay is very linear, but in a way that I quite enjoyed. The sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, is equally amazing. Easily two of my favorite games of all time.

    When scrolling through a text post, the size and progress rate of the scroll bar varies dramatically depending on the length of the current comment. In the example below, the post body is very long, resulting in a tiny scroll bar with slow progress. Once you're down into the comments, the scroll bar is much larger and progresses faster.

    I would like to filter comments based on keywords similar to how the post keyword filter works.

    I would like to be able to block links from certain domains. For example, mute all posts leading to instagram.

    Example: I would like to be able to filter out all communities that start with the word "shitty" by having a community filter for "shitty*".
