Zwift was a game changer for me. Can highly recommend it, although the cost of entry is rather expensive.

Get on Zwift.

Purchase yourself a smart trainer like the Wahoo kickr V5. This has been a life changer for me. Stuck in lockdown Australia, with Zwift I can ride when ever I want, and for as long as I want too. I now ride about 50km a day, and am the fittest I've ever been.

You get a great mix of cardio, gamification by playing an actual video game, and social networking as you can chat and make connections to others in the game. All from the comfort of your own home.

Re:A YouTube chat about chess got flagged for hate speech on Thursday July 22, 2021 @02:02AM (#27915885)
I had a video flagged, and marked as adult content because the title had "Hump Day" in it.

I am not sure in other parts of the world, but in Australia Hump day is the middle day of the week, A.K.A Wednesday.

This is a huge changing of the guard play. You have to give credit towards Spotify for this move, and what could signify a pivotal point in changing history.

The fact there is a paying subscription model behind Spotify, I can see a future where all podcasts move towards this platform.

Re:Ask HN: What projects are you working on now? on Saturday March 21, 2020 @10:00PM (#22652044)
I am still working on my business which was started during the GFC back in 2008.

My business isn't important, but what is important is what you do over the next coming months.

During the GFC, I was a contract programmer and was let go in November. In Australia I figured nobody was going to hire in December, January is basically a write off, and could possibly find work in February.

Now I had 3 months up my sleeve. I could either lay down the foundations to my side project, or slack off, play video games, and watch videos all day.

So I worked hard on my side project which was making no money, and eventually it grew legs a year later when I was in a position to work on it full time, and have been ever since.

Now, what are you going to do with your current spare time? Nothing you do will make money instantly, but you could be planting those seeds, and maybe your tree might grow into something big.

Having just read Targeted (https://www.amazon.com/Targeted-Cambridge-Analytica-Whistleb...) This story has a completely different angle, and I have the feeling some people are trying to take credit for other peoples work.
What happens when there is mass adoption for people needing to drive long distances?

This video seems to be the start of something https://youtu.be/a1uFudf37JU

Is this able to play Audio Books? Or is there an Android app that can skip silence for audio books?

I still cannot see how https://www.inoreader.com/ doesn't get more love. I easily moved to it from Google Reader, and spend my day in the web browser version, and night with the App on my phone.

I am using www.inoreader.com

I was a big Google Reader user, and I found this a perfect replacement. Even has an Android App and its all synced.

Re:GIF search engine, exactly what the world needs on Wednesday May 22, 2013 @08:03PM (#5754581)
To avoid future confusion, how should I be pronouncing the domain?

Should I say out loud "JIFY", of is it a hard G like "GIFY", just like how you say "GIF"

I am afraid of what I am going to do with all this spare time I will regain once this is gone.

This was the home page of "My" internet.

Surely I wasn't the only one looking at this for something like : 1,920×1,080
In Chrome I cannot read it, but the text appears fine in Firefox.

It's like there is a Groupon deal on Groupon Shares.
