Do you prefer Reddit or Lemmy?
  • I prefer Lemmy, but unfortunately it is missing a lot of the communities I liked on Reddit, and there doesn't seem to be as much content. When I'm looking for information on a specific topic I'll still check out Reddit but I haven't logged in since the Reddit drama and don't plan to. I do hope Lemmy gets bigger, though.

  • Summer is the worst season of the year, isn't?
  • I love the spring and summer. I have fibromyalgia and the pain and fatigue is much better during the warmer months. I like the sunny weather as it cheers me up. The people outside make me feel like I'm on a holiday even when I'm not. It's the time of the year I feel the most motivated to do anything and I actually have the energy to do it.

    Aside from that, the summer heat doesn't bother me that much. It's much better than the freezing cold for me. Unless it's almost 40°C, but I don't think anyone likes these high temperatures.

    I agree with you about the mosquitoes, though.

  • Just started; what to expect?
  • Thanks for your response! I have asthma, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and Raynaud's. I was on a high protein diet a few years ago and worked very well for me. However, during flares I found it to be difficult to handle the restrictions (I put on myself) because when you have an autoimmune disease you can't diet like healthy people but also need to listen to your body's needs. As in, sometimes I need the extra energy / calories to just function. So I always listen to my own body in this.

    I read that 3 to 4 times a week should work well, so that's why I'm trying this routine but I'll adjust this if I feel my body needs it.

    Is the 14 (or however many hours) hours mainly to restrict the time window in which you can eat, to help with limiting your calories? Because I do track/log my calorie intake and am pretty good with staying within those limits.

  • Just started; what to expect?
  • The thing is, I often tend to forget to have breakfast so end up eating pretty late in the morning (at around 10 or 11, usually). So I figured I'd start at 8PM and end at 10PM. That way it wouldn't change my routine too much.

  • Just started; what to expect?

    I just started IF last week as part of my weight loss journey (I'm on a high protein diet which worked very well for me before, but haven't done IF before) and decided to try IF since I heard good things about it. I'm fasting 14 hours for 4 days a week (I also have health problems, so I'm not going for the full 7 days).

    I'm going for IF from Monday night until Thursday night (so basically it ends on Friday morning). I'm on my second day since I started Thursday night. On Thursday I felt pretty good, but last night was a bit of a struggle because, despite eating enough calories (and proteins) I suddenly felt rather hungry at night even though normally I don't. Maybe it's because I can't eat that I'm suddenly hungry? You know, when you can't have something you suddenly want or need it? Haha.

    What can I expect? Is there anything I should watch out for? Any tips?

    Trying to ditch windows
  • I use Jetbrains Rider on Linux which runs just fine. It takes some setting up to install .NET but it didn't take me too long. Except for pre-release versions, that might take more trial and error.

    Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the switch to Linux and I haven't had any major issues. Not with video games, either. Protondb.com is a good website to see what games do and don't work on Linux and you may need to add launch options to get specific games to work or switch to a specific version of Proton.

    It's up to you to decide if it's worth it for you or not. You could try a dual boot setup first.

  • Printing in grayscale in POP!_OS

    I'm trying to print some documents in grayscale / black & white but it keeps printing my documents in colour instead, even if I select grayscale in one of the drop down menus in the settings (under Color > Color Model).

    Does anyone know if there is a specific setting I need to change for it to print in grayscale correctly? If it helps, I have a Canon MX420 printer.

    Thanks so much for your help!
