So I get asked so many times "Why should I Workout?" And many of the people who ask me this have a real willingness to change themselves, to become a better version of themselves. So I just pat them on the back, take a deep breath in and beat the shit out of them until they're demoralized enough to not compete with me in the gym, That's Right I will always be the most fittest MAN in the gym when I punch the crap out of the competition like this Sunday night when title defending champion JOHN CENA DEFENDS HIS TITLE ON THE WWE WORLD STAGE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT 3AM IN THE MORNING.

The PineTime has dramatically improved over 6 months, everything from connectivity, to features has made this "Alternative Smart Watch" into the best smart watch on the market for not a lot of money. - Improvements over time The collective updates from the 6 months of community development have fixed every single problem I've had with it in the past. Before I would bang my head on the wall when I would lose connection for the 69th time, now I forget I have Bluetooth on at all. And if i raised my arm to check who's calling me, only for it to not light up, I just shake it. Combine this high quality of life with the smoothest navigating animations and anyone would switch. - The persistent cons For Gadget Bridge integration to work you need to have Bluetooth on 24/7, this is a problem because Bluetooth beacons are a thing used by large shops to collect customer data, and by Blackhats who do... well we don't know. Aside from this, a "medium sized" problem is the Heart Beat Sensor, it plain doesn't work, it lights up and shows a number, but i'm not lying on my couch with a BPM of 196. - In conclusion Worth a whole £25 + no "big tech" surveillance makes it an easy competitor for general use smart watches, and with the overwhelming support from its' community it makes the future of this watch worth waiting for. - Just one last point I tried to convince my friend to buy a PineTime for his first smart watch, but he didn't want the exact same color/model as me, so if Pine64 could make and sell some custom wrist straps (or even a round screen version) for the sealed version, it would help me protect my friend from trackers and the like.

I like to keep a light load when it comes to my pockets so I only carry the essentials with me, phone, wallet, keys, and PineTime. - I've used my PineTime for about 6 months now, and it's improved a lot during that time and some of my critisms of it are no longer valid. - The bulkier phone case is mainly for looks over function, but it does protect the screen from minor drop damage while being more appealing to look at. - The wallet is only for cash, coins and bus card; and the keys are nothing special. - If I'm going to the library or my course I'll bring my backpack which I'll do another post on in which I have a some more EDC things I'd like to share. But I am interested in what other peoples EDC is because I've fallen down this rabbithole for day and I'd like to know. EDC = Every Day Carry

So I finally finished my bowl and I think it came out as best it could have, I initially wanted to use ceramic paint, and gloss for the mat finish but it was too expensive for a single project like this, so in the end I used my moms nail enamel which at least doesn't shine like a lighthouse of missed opportunity. I've not been posting as much because the content hasn't been gaining much traction, but I'm gonna post once a month.

I've got an old laptop running 32bit windows 10, and I want it to do something while it's idling, I've tried using it as a media server, but I don't need it anymore. Is there a 32bit CPU and/or GPU program for 32bit machines, the best video on YouTube told me to use the UnMineable program, but it only supports 64bit machines.

I've got it flat enough to finally paint over, and I'm thinking that I've got two options: paint it black like the rest of it, or paint it another color. Im going to use Acrylic paint for finalizing it, and look into what kind of gloss I need to buy to finish it off. Sorry for not posting, just not been enjoying uploading, and there's been a draught of content on Lemmy recently, so I hope that blows over soon. Will be posting SR updates starting from today, aswell as other things I want to upload over time.

I got this Starbucks cup as a gift from my mom a while back, and I dropped it by mistake only a single day after, so I wanted to make it into a small bowl instead. I'm suck on how to do it though, there should be atleast two tools I need: sanding paper, and paint. Do I need to get sanding paper, and paint for ceramics inparticular? What should I paint on the side of the bowl? (She didn't mind, but was a bit mad.)

( https://yewtu.be/watch?v=v3qZnysLpM8 ) Google ain't got nothing on DuckDuckGo's App Tracking Protection, even in beta.

( https://yewtu.be/watch?v=BqNvMBgQncA ) Was a good week this week.

I want to see what TikTok is about but also want to retain some privacy. If its on F-droid, playstore or as a APK I don't mind.

Watching YouTube videos is a good way to learn skills so you don't have to pay someone to fix a problem you might have. Buying only what you need, if you buy food you can bring some cheap snacks with you so you don't end up spending tons at coffee shops, or corner stores. Knowing what food you'd eat can prevent wasted food and save money. Keep track of spending by writing, and typing down money in and money out. Avoid **consuming** products such as reduced food (unless its pennies on the dollar), and x% off for a limited time. If free stuff is offered take it, while being aware of hidden fees, or terms and conditions.

( https://yewtu.be/watch?v=7_uErCvk7uE ) Proton = Honeycomb!!!!!!!! that's why every FOSS YouTuber recommends it, and everyone with a basic understanding of encryption also recommends it. (Find this on Pixelfed @10_0@pixelfed.social)

(Picture of sealed version) I've been using the PineTime for 2 months now, and I have a lot to say on it. So let's start with the good and end with the "meh". The first striking thing that stood out to me was that the packaging is simple, a cardboard box containing a manual, conductive charger, and the PineTime. I plugged it into the wall to charge it while setting up Gadget Bridge on my phone, all of the reviews said to update the firmware so I updated the firmware, and got it to update on the first try. It just works, no stuttering, no slowdown. The pedometer (step counter) is very accurate and it has tons of useful features; three watchfaces, and media controls. (And its all plastic if you get irritated skin.) But there is notable downsides, mainly focused on the Gadget Bridge integration, and privacy concerns. If for whatever reason you lose connection on the phone and/or watch, it simply won't reconnect; this means that you have to restart the PineTime if you lose connection and reconnect it... every... time. Need to switch your phone off, reconnect, need to turn Bluetooth off to save battery, reconnect, ect. Lastly, Bluetooth. Bluetooth beacons are a thing, used by governments, to blackhats, always needing Bluetooth on leaves you open to real-time tracking, a big concern of mine. Overall its hard not to recommend if you have the patients for technology. (And losing your stats when you lose connection. : (

As apart of my content consumption I listen to a lot of commentary on a variety of topics, the main ones being video game and open source communities. For video games I'm currently into AsmongoldTV at the moment, I've always valued his takes on MMO, general commentary, and on society; his ability to compose a well balanced take weekly never ceases to impress me. Open source commentary takes the form of weekly news round ups such as Techlore's Surveillance Report, The Linux Experiment, and TechLinked, for the quicker bits. If I run out of Foss news, or new takes from Asmongold, I'll catch up with SomeOrdinaryGamers (and other horror channels). (Picture related)

( https://yewtu.be/watch?v=fv6_46GjpaI ) Pretty big stories this week overall good stories this week.
