Is this a rhetorical question? Or does this comes down to perspective? For the latter I would explain it as me seeing contempt from this person's messaging around their partner seeming OK with not achieving things she defines as important. She then takes, what I would consider a personal conversation, to social media for what I can only assume is support from like-minded people to validate her.

TL;DR the premise itself is belittling

What I read: I require external validation instead of finding it from within.

Realistically all these achievements mean nothing when you die and are forgotten. It doesn't necessarily invalidate the work and accomplishments but I'd argue it doesn't give an individual the "higher ground" to belittle a partner on social media; they may not value it the same.

Maybe it's the anabolic steroids RFK claims he takes. Steroids can cause flushing in the face.

Oh sorry, I meant TRT and totally not steroids /s

Agreed, more info on the video would have been helpful. I personally preferred to solve the problem by watching the video and I don't think too hard on giving views to people. So watching a video with little context, even if it's about something I really dislike such as essential oils, is no big deal to me.

5:13 he gives the TL;DR - metabolic health. It wasn't even that far into the video my guy.

Seems like you didn't watch the video all the way through or you didn't listen. This video is not 100% clickbait, your comment is. In the video they mention body fat being a contributor to heart attacks and to check your own BF % at home using calipers or getting a DEXA scan (I'd recommend an MRI over a DEXA scan if you're dropping money like that).

The video isn't perfect. The recommendations are decent for what you can actually do at home but they could have gone into more detail on things like DEXA vs calipers but a good starting point regardless.

I bought the same scale off Amazon a year ago. I use it every single day for all my meals and it's still using the same batteries; not sure if I'm using the original batteries that came with the scale. I bought two more of these for family/friends. I'd recommend it.

Maybe you have JavaScript disabled?

uBlock is not reporting anything weird and the network tab resources for the browser's dev tools show nothing suspicious. Combing over the JavaScript sources with the dev tools also show no privacy concerns on fingerprinting.

The posted link is using a FOSS project called markmap (https://github.com/markmap/markmap?tab=readme-ov-file) and the project looks solid from what skimming I did.

Saying something is "dumb" is too nebulous to derive any meaning. Could you elaborate more? If you have the technical chops/insight to provide critique or even alternative recommendations then that could really help to etify the community. These kinds of convos are great for understanding privacy better.

Edit: all bark and no bite. How unfortunate as I was hoping to learn something.

 

I came across this neat interactive spectrum on privacy. A decent insight into the depths you can go to achieve your privacy goals with examples.

Good callout. I'd recommend this as a first step when downloading apps through Aurora.

I understand the worry and depending on your threat model this could be an issue. But looking through the code I don't see anything personal being sent over to the exodus servers. If you're worried about sending data that could identify you, I don't see this app being a problem.

But OpSec is personal and multi layered so another less invasive option is to directly use the exodus website to look up any apps you have questions on https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/

 

A good way to up your privacy on your phone. This app has been great for pushing me to find FLOSS alternatives.

An alternative to using a VPN as your "privacy shield" could be the I2P network https://lemmy.world/post/19661215

I don't torrent so this may not be ideal.
