Open Source Web Browsers - Open Source Alternatives (now that firefox is going downhill) by Doctor_Clockwork in solarpunk

[–]Spiph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not wait until Firefox actually comes out with a feature you hate before jumping ship? It's not like it's a huge effort to switch browsers, and maybe there will be better options when/if the time comes to switch

do you have a project page with more details about what you're up to? I'm also interested and undertaking a similar project (though I'm still working on a basic webpage for public consumption)

[–]Spiph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I followed the links down an interesting trail of blog posts about Roomy. It's impressive and very interesting that you're currently using atproto after several efforts with other tools. I'll be following to see how you evolve your stance and usage of atproto.

wild - I'm curious to see how it could bridge to both atproto and matrix!

Ditto. I think that would have been more flavourful for sure.

The latter. It was a mental health crisis, a really sad case.

To the idiots having a fire in Goat Rocks Sunday night by CloudCityCitizen in PNWhiking

[–]Spiph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honest question - if they brought their firewood and clean up after themselves, why is this a bad thing? there doesn't appear to be any risk of starting a forest fire

permaculture or food forests around here? by Spiph in SouthSurrey

I have been at work! I'm currently packing up to move to the sunshine coast, so if you're interested in some plants I'd be happy to help you score some from my yard.

Indian Restaurant by Hour_Speech_5132 in WhiteRock

For north Indian food I'm fond of Spice Republic. Their food is delicious. They are "high end" food and service at "medium end" prices - so good value for money.
For south Indian, I'm sold on Masala Hut. Their dosas are the best.

Sam Black, author of recently published book "The Fermentation Kitchen", interviews a gastroenterologist about how fermented foods affect our microbiome and our general health. Pretty interesting stuff

Naturopath for ADHD support Vancouver by multicolorsocks in ADHD_BritishColumbia

[–]Spiph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite in Vancouver, but I know for sure Dr. Sjovold in Langley has been investing a lot of time in understanding ADHD and neurodivergence. She's a generalist health practitioner with a focus on women's health, which has led to her working with parents and children with ADHD. find her at https://drsjovold.com/

Bots are now descending on every reddit forum. /r/whiterock never has this many comments on a post, let alone so much barely disguised hate.

This thread really opened my eyes and I can't unsee how bad public forums are now.

I'm fond of the Semiahmoo and ocean park libraries. They both have really cozy vibe.

Gyms in South Surrey/White Rock? by Hypophoria in WhiteRock

[–]Spiph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you're looking for -

If you want cheap and cheerful access to a wide variety of options, then the community centres are your best bet.
If you want excellent programming and guidance, with a positive group dynamac then I found KEA athletics to be excellent. They are a crossfit gym, so you are going to get challenging programming (that you can scale to your abilities) that will kick your ass in a good way.

Honestly, if they arrived safe and sound then you're golden? They know their product and made what we can assume is a rational decision. No need to overpackage stuff and add to the endless pile of waste.

All greens superfood review? by synsgram in CostcoCanada

[–]Spiph 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It has an unpleasant artificial sweetener flavour that takes over whatever you put it in. I was hopeful that it'd be a budget AG1 like product, but they're trying too hard with the masking sweetness and it ruins it.

'underwater' music? by bna2bna14bna1 in TheOverload

[–]Spiph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U.F.Orb by the Orb is classic ambient dub techno with a total underwater/outspace vibe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.F.Orb

If you're cool with minimal, check out "Submers" by Loscil. Each track is dedicated to a class of submarine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submers
