for those who come and read through these comments, on top of considering not using a chromium-based browser, you could also:

  • configure your own DNS resolver e.g. NextDNS
  • go further and use a fork of firefox e.g. librewolf

you might be referring to the CSI Effect

At some point they made a decision to change from something else to Netflix, so perhaps they’re not afraid of change but might need a compelling reason to use a different service?

Could be an opportunity for you to educate them on what options are available and why that will benefit them long term.

i can see how that sounded! it’s a lightweight, browser-based rss reader.

i made a short script that scrapes my own feed and sends an email.

I often think this. I use a mix of reeder, feedly, vore, instapaper to see what I like.

However I look at my parents and they’ll use Apple News or whatever news source they trust in a browser.

Flipboard is used because it makes it easy for people to find aggregated information. What’s easier than something that already does the aggregation for you?

Often we take for granted things we consider to be normal. I would think everyone has uBlock Origin installed (i’ve used it for years) or something similar, but this is clearly not the case.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that not many users on Lemmy follow Cricket or understand it fully. My comment isn’t going to cover if the decision by the ICC is correct (or otherwise) but to provide a little insight into the men and women’s games

Speed / pace is a noticeable difference between the sexes. I don’t believe there are any current female players that consistently bowl pace over 120km/h. In contrast, male pace bowlers generally try to meet a consistent speed of 135km/h for the same role. The upper bounds for men is roughly 160km/h and maybe only one or two pro players globally can do this.

There are enough men’s bowlers who can bowl at 150km/h. At this speed an average batter would find it difficult to see the ball. Arguably batters in baseball receive faster pitches but at 150km/h+ including the ball bouncing makes it incredibly difficult to face.

The batting is also different but it might be harder to explain to a non-cricketing audience why this is.

it depends on what you consider self-improvement to be

[-] sealhaslupus@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

one of my psychologist friends said a long time ago “if you don’t keep improving yourself, then what’s the point in living”.

you’re clearly already taking steps on self-improvement and personal introspection, which is probably one of the hardest things a human can do.

honestly you’re already kicking goals if you try and be a better person each day. No one can ask more of you.
