Not to my knowledge but there are dedicated wrapper projects if you'd rather not use a full chromium based browser

In was thinking about TLF with servo in mind, though I wasn't aware much progress has been made. Great to hear!

I've daydreamed about the Linux foundation or sovereign tech ~~fund~~ agency taking ownership of Firefox away from Mozilla.

Maybe they could maintain a fork of it instead, I'm not sure. At this point I think it's become a necessary measure. Firefox is quite far back in terms of security features that it's actually becoming kind of silly. I still use it, carefully. I feel less inclined to recommend it to less savvy users in its current state.

The use of language in Reach is masterful. Even with one liners like 'DOT, check your vector', or mutterings like 'armour configuration matched' - 'shield strength too' add so much believability to the world.

I wanna go play reach now.

Commander, you don't have the firepower!

I've got the mass.

Solid copy. Hit 'em hard, boss.

You're on your own, Noble.

Gardening is great - keep at it. I may ask you for help & advice with mine to help take your mind off things.

I won't sugarcoat the fact that things will suck a little if he wins, but we'll prevail and our plants will grow strong and healthy.

Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.

Correct. All apex ever did was ride on the coattails of a once great IP

Hey there,

Not sure if this is actually more of an Android system limitation, but I came across this post earlier:

https://lemm.ee/post/45289052

The feed renders the linked .SVG graphic as expected, though the image lightbox (image view when tapped on) doesn't appear to render this. The AOSP gallery / files app and Google Photos app appear to also be incapable of rendering this, however.

Disregard, - it works now for me now 😅

Hey there,

This is an extremely minor quirk with how the image lightbox (apologies if I'm using web specific terms) behaves when a post image is selected from the feed and put into full screen mode.

On devices with on-screen nav and expanded status bar areas (camera hole design concession), the lightbox will show end to end with the UI controls overlayed.

If you tap once on the image to hide the UI elements, the status bar area is filled, whereas the nav area still shows as expected, though the image appears to resize slightly in response to the change in viewport. Wondering if this was intentional?

Truly the most P4 item I could think of but was curious.

E: fixed in 0.0.75 - thank you MV :)

Hey there,

I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this behavior where the swipe to navigate back gesture would register twice within the app, taking you back two steps instead of just one.

I'm not sure exactly when this behaviour was introduced, though it persists with today's .72 alpha release. I was to say it came about in the .6X timeframe.

I've not found this reported on the github, though I just wanted to check that this isn't a system specific issue before submitting. #1399 may be relevant as it refers to swipe input sensitivity but I think that's more of a gesture threshold matter than input registering twice in the app.

My app settings are attached in a photo:

and I have a short clip:

Steps to reproduce:

  • Using the provided gesture settings in Jerboa
  • From the home feed, tap into a community name
  • From the community view, tap into a community post
  • Swipe left to navigate back to the community view
  • Observe two steps back in response to a single input

From.the FAQ

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available? Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.

However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.

Got back home, took my top off and was surprised to see this little guy clinging onto the back.

Took em out into the backyard and let them slowly crawl onto one of my plants. Not sure what kind of caterpillar this is but I think they were okay with their new spot.

You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons.

Those of you who semi grip, do you ever alternate? If so, have you identified any benefits in doing so?

A friend brought this up with me a couple months ago. It was a reasonable ask, and yet I've never thought to switch hands. I try to only use a semi grip when necessary (heavier sets, fewer reps).

I've recently started experimenting with switching it around for a few higher volume sets. Is there any benefit from switching long term, or session to session?

(Managed to sort out embedded images, had to compress them first)

Welcome to my shitty, dusty garage gym.

Practically all of my kit is from Mirafit and Fitness Superstore (UK). Primarily focused on weightlifting & bodybuilding.

Power rack:

Mirafit M100 Half Power Rack with Cable System.

It's served me well over the last three years but I'm honestly surprised it hasn't fallen apart. It's no longer up for sale through Mirafit or third party retailers, and I can see why. Mirafit use OEM designs and stick their name on it. If you see a half power rack like mine, maybe stay away from it:

The M100 half rack has a lower weight capacity (200KG) than the full M100 (250KG) due to its design. You'll observe a concerning sway with three or more plates a side. It has miraculously survived 180 KG back squats and rack pulls though it's definitely not something I could wholeheartedly endorse as a power rack alone. I went for a half rack at the time due to spatial constraints i.e. not having to delicately manoeuvrer a barbell in the confined garage space I have available.

It did come with some bells and whistles, notably the plate-loaded cable / pulley system (with a couple attachments) and incline bench. Power racks with integrated cable systems can be exceptionally versatile provided you have the gear to supplement them:

  • Lying ham curl with a chain, ankle straps and an incline bench:

  • Seated leg extension with a chain, ankle straps and squat box:

  • Cable pull-down if you have a crossbar to keep you in place:

Made some minor alterations to the rack:

  • Cut away some metal on the lower pulley housing preventing the lower cable from moving freely
  • Cut the wide bar cable attachment to actually fit within the confines of the rack (it was actually too wide before?!)
  • Picked up some after-market J-hooks to supplement the included barbell holders
  • Plate storage system (though it's in-line with the barbell(?!); if you don't walk the bar back enough, you'll hit it when you squat):

I've gotten a tremendous amount of utility of this package as a whole, though it's let down by the overall flimsiness of the rack. If anyone could recommend a newer, sturdier half rack + cable system, I'd love to hear about it. Mirafit's newer half-rack designs (or whichever OEM they use) are much better, but tend to lack the pulley system option.

Incline Bench:

Mirafit M150

Decent enough incline bench with a small footprint. Has a total weight total capacity of 260KG and is fairly affordable on its own. The design of this bench makes it somewhat unsuitable for barbell hip thrust from the side, as it has only three 'feet', but generally feels stable for most other exercises.

Barbell:

Mirafit M3 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (28mm diameter, fine knurl, sprung steel) Lovely bar, no complaints. Generally chalk up for deadlift but it's a pleasure to use either way.

Bodypower 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (30mm diameter, coarse knurl) Was a decent bar with a very coarse knurl. Would shred you up but it did its job. I've since handed this over to my cousin.

350KG in plates, bunch of quick release collars

Flooring: ARK Solid Black Rubber Mat CK (With Hidden Handles) X 4 (12mm thick) This was an afterthought and I deeply regret not having them to begin with. Please ensure you have appropriate flooring for your weights area.

Other stuff:

  • Olympic dubmmell handles
  • Mirafit Squat box
  • Spinlock and fixed dumbell pairs
  • fuck knows how much in standard (1" diam) plates
  • Dumbbell & barbell storage / stands
  • Additional cable attachments (handles, bars, ropes)
  • Chain belt for dips and chin ups
  • Some old speakers in the corner

I feel like I'm mostly covered but have made some substitutions. I do more working sets of squat in lieu of a plate-loaded leg press and a few exercises to cover the lack of a hack squat machine, but I haven't been back to a commercial gym since.

Welcome to Home Gym (lemmy.world)

Hey there,

I wanted to recreate something like Reddit's /r/homegym community over here on Lemmy.

It became one of my favourite spots during the lockdown. Despite the price gouging and supply issues, it was amazing to see people's creativity when it came to fitness at home:

  • We learned effective bodyweight exercises to keep us strong after the gyms shut down (like piston squat, nordic ham curl)
  • We built power racks out of whatever we had, capable of holding a good couple hundred KGs on a barbell (some excellent woodwork in general)
  • We improvised equipment and exercises with every day objects (a bunch of jerry cans and rebar for extra tricky front squat)
  • We got to understand how much you could get done in a modest space with just the essentials

A decent home gym can be surprisingly attainable today, particularly with people shifting their own kit now that commercial gyms have reopened.

Let's see what you're working with.

Moderators wanted

I'm not sure if I'll have enough availability to moderate a community. If anyone would like to take it off my hands, you're more than welcome to.
