Barbershop quartet singer, weight-loser, philosophy student of life
This is very upsetting to me–more as a point of principle than in fact–but I appreciate that it doesn’t bother younger generations at all.
I am in a support group with over 100 senior citizens in it. Getting a file with a *.rtf extension used to be a thing, but it hasn’t been a thing in years. I do get *.doc and *.docx files so they’re probably getting lured into Office like you said even before Wordpad is removed.
That’s why downvote buttons exist?
No (and not downvoted) … it’s about controlling visibility.

My take: Upvote the stuff other people should see. Downvote the stuff that should have never been here at all. You don’t have to agree or disagree, you can even have no opinion. But if you find it worthwhile to others, upvote it. Detrimental, downvote it.
ET-2800 does have a USB connection and linux drivers
I have the ET-2720 which I like but appears to have been discontinued.
I’ve had one for a year. I print a lot, in color, and I’m impressed.

A lot of the comments so far are trying to stay with the negative connotation to exploitation. You exploit your comfortable shoes to walk further each day. You exploit the microwave oven’s ability to more quickly warm your coffee than the stove.
This is the same with discrimination. You choose the raspberry danish over the cheese danish. This is you practicing discrimination, and it’s fine.
Any evil in it comes from abuse or impact to yourself with respect to others, that second definition of exploitation in the OP.
Yes. When somebody else has a better take and I want it to be the top comment, I will downvote mine.
This is terrible reporting, emotional, practically yellow. Two academics are quoted. The article and headline tell you how you should feel about this. This should have never gotten past the editor’s desk.
Barbershop quartet singing (ala The Barbershop Harmony Society). Instant friends and such satisfaction to hear yourself lending a note into four-part chords. (It’s the basis of my username.)
Working out with weights
Unfortunately, I’m finding Lemmy 2023 just as shallow as Reddit 2023.
For those looking for a Lemmy weight loss community, visit !loseit@discuss.tchncs.de and help us grow one!
This is too severe and unhealthy.
Your body is burning not just fat tissue, but lean tissue as well, and likely so fast that it can’t replace it fast enough to keep up. Even with 5000 Fridays, you’re taking in 8000 a week which is less than 1200 a day, less than some old short inactive grandma would use to lose a few extra pounds (not from 270).
Weight loss puts increased demands upon the body. Gallstones, malnutrition, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances can happen when those demands exceed the body’s capability to cope with them. More minor side-effects include hair and nail problems, irregular female menstrual cycles, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, and headaches.
I just saw your post. Wanted to say hi. I lost from 298 and also lost pretty fast, but didn’t need to go all that severely. I also had a few goal-weight adjustments but I’ve kept it off basically for 8 years now (170s now, at 5’11 male).
I was looking for a lemmy instance that would let me create communities, downvote if I wanted to downvote, and that would take care of troublemakers without being too overly restrictive.
I also wanted to ease the burden on the very busy lemmy instances that were being overwhelmed by the reddit Exodus.
It seems I have found a place. The SDF has a very long history of serving several communities in the internet and Linux world. I first ran into them decades ago, and they are still here.
My 76 y/o spouse loves Linux Mint. The 2017-bought desktop was deemed insufficient for Windows 11 and now runs Mint.
