FWIW, I've only ever heard it used that way...

Gray?

3d 2h ago in curlyhair from www.axios.com

I'll let it do whatever it wants to do. I already get frustrated with my curly hair because I resent the amount of time it takes to care for it. And I stopped colouring my hair for similar reasons years ago. So whatever it does, it does!

That being said, it's beginning to look like I may take after my father, and not go grey...

Mod changes and an intro

Unrelated to the larger topic, but how do you find Endurain? I want to dump Strava, but last time I looked at self hosted Strava alternatives (maybe a year ago?), none of them really came close to parity in features.

Are women-focused gyms worth it?

11d 16h ago in womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone

It depends. If one of the barriers of going to the gym was dealing with gym bros, then you'll find it to be a much better, more comfortable environment. But if that isn't what was keeping you from the gym last time, you may still struggle with sustaining the habit.

That being said, if you can get a free trial, it's absolutely worth giving it a shot!

New Zealand government introduces anti-transgender legislation

19d 9h ago in world@quokk.au from www.wsws.org

It won't. Which is the point. The goal is to fuck everyone over who doesn't fit in their neat little boxes and to distract from their other political choices

It looks like a giant stim toy...

Cyberspace.online - a strange cyberpunk-themed social network

21d 23h ago in cyberpunk@lemmy.zip from cyberspace.online

TIL, there was a time when the internet only supported monochrome images :P

My tone was probably a bit harsh because I was getting frustrated

You poor thing. A marginalised, discriminated group at risk of losing even more of their rights keeps arguing with you, instead of just accepting inequality. That must be frustrating for you

Now Fixed - Blahaj.zone latency across all services

1mon 3d ago in main@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Are we slow rolling sync with other servers, or is this just normal behavior?

Both! When we were down, content didn't federate to us. The servers trying to send that content to us will then retry and send it again, and each time it fails, they wait longer until they try again the next time. As a result, the stuff we missed will start rolling in at different times, depending on which instance it's coming from.

But also, it's normal behaviour for vote counts to differ, because we ignore downvotes, most other instances don't. We have defederate some instances, which other instances may not have (or vice versa) and as a result, we will show different vote totals because we don't have the same voting sources.

Once more, I'm asking for more mods for this community
