I try to not be hostile towards AI-assisted FOSS projects, but I remain incredibly wary of it for this reason (it being abandonedware) and because if the dev themselves don’t know why they have a piece of code in their project how can I trust that there’s not some obvious security holes. Like yes, it’s FOSS, “so you can check it yourself,” and if I’m seriously considering using the software then I will do a cursory code-review. But I do enough of that in my day-job (and at least I get paid for this), I don’t want to do it with my hobby too. I’m just so tired of all this AI/LLM nonsense to the point where it’s been months since I’ve added anything to my little homelab or have even bothered checking out any of the new projects coming out

It might just be the legging materials. Are you wearing high (or some form of) compression leggings for working out or ones advertised as “buttery”? Mine are mostly advertised as for compression and stretch to some degree especially if I’m doing something dynamic like climbing and hiking, but they’re back to normal after washing and drying. I’ve had the best luck with 80% polyester and 20% elastane/spandex/lycra. I feel like anything with more than 20% of elastane provides too much stretch if that makes sense. The ones I wear for working out/hiking feel thick and substantial and just a touch uncomfortable when you first put it on.

If I’m doing squats or articulating my knees a lot, I like to bunch a bit of excess fabric around my knees for more comfort as I don’t like the feel of stretching fabric in that area. But I’ve never had creases stay after washing, like they’ll be there while worn-in, but gone once washed and dried. I can see the stretching you’re mentioning in regards to more comfort-focus leggings. But I usually stick to high compression for workouts, so that may be the differentiating factor.

I’ve also not had that issue of leggings creasing (butt or knees) even when there’s a seam there, but that might be do the compression, thicker fabric, and the fact that I’m probably less curvy than you. But if you’re feeling self-conscience about it you could wear shorts with no liners on top. With the added benefit that if you sit on rougher surfaces it doesn’t fuzz up your leggings. These days though, I prefer pants/joggers over leggings for a majority of things.

I don’t own any sheer tights (and haven’t for a very long time now) so I can’t quite compare how different wearing those would be in comparison to leggings. I just stick a leg in, pull up past my calf, repeat on the other side, pull up the rest once they’re comfortably past my calves, and adjust around the knees give them a bit more flex room.

It’s unfortunate that comfort usually comes at the cost of durability. Similar to rigid 100% cotton jeans vs jeggings. These days I don’t really wear leggings for lounging anymore. I just get a couple pairs of wide linen pants hemmed above my ankles. They’re super comfortable in hot/humid climates in particular where leggings may be a bit stifling. While not any more durable (maybe even less so if the fabric is pretty loosely woven), I think the comfort is worth it.

I don’t have a crazy thigh-gap or anything, but no they don’t rub together when I walk so that definitely helps with the longevity. I’m not sure I have any good advice about chafing outside of maybe looking into hiking-focused leggings (ones you can find from Title Nine or REI and the like) that are usually made with a thicker and finer weave that is more resistant to chafing.

I’m kind of the opposite, I didn’t even know per-monitor virtual desktops were a thing, so I was blissfully ignorant of its capabilities. But seeing it in action from clip in the announcement post, I now know what I’m missing and can’t wait for it to be rolled out in my distro!

I think the new default keyboard shortcuts for switching between virtual desktop in the overview is neat too.

Nope, granted I’ve also managed to maintain the same weight with little fluctuation. I’ve also never really had synthetic fabrics crease on me, in fact a lot of the advertising around synthetic fabric is about it being wrinkle-free and from experience it’s true (for my drape-y synthetic clothing, I’ll maybe have to hang them out if they’ve been folded in storage for a while for the fold lines to smooth out).

But I will say I own like 10+ pairs of leggings some with different use cases (and materials): workout, hiking, and lounging. The brands I have aren’t even particularly special, a combo of Uniqlo, Athleta, PopFlex, and a few no-name brands.

Edit: to avoid consecutive wear, you could have two or three pairs a week and rotate them each day.

Edit 2: added info about my experience with synthetic fabrics.

Gotta say I’ve never heard about this tip before. But I’ve never really had an issue with my leggings losing elasticity and I still have a few from more than 10 years ago lol. I think what’s key is to wash cold/gentle and air dry. Also, don’t wear the same pair consecutively, kind of like not wearing out bra straps.

Yup, Bruno is my choice as well coming from Insomnia and Postman. I was lucky enough to purchase the early supporter lifetime license when it was available, so I’ll be using it for the foreseeable future. Hopefully it doesn’t enshittify as another commenter pointed out.

While I still use curl for simple requests, I really do like having a GUI. Features like prettifying requests and responses, being able to fold code, saving requests, shared authorization across multiple requests, etc. Are the reasons why I don’t think I could ever really use CLI options.

While I still see a lot of people scrolling through traditional social media while I’m out and about, it does feel like more people are starting to disconnect (which I think is a good thing) even among my younger friends and family.

I still browse Reddit every now and then, especially for the more niche subreddits, but I don’t have an account nor do I plan on making one. I’ve definitely noticed a lot of low-effort comments that makes Reddit look more active, but the substance really isn’t there. So while a similar (if not the same) post here on Lemmy would have less or no comments, it substantially feels the same to me.

Despite the fact that I’m usually a lurker and don’t have much to add to most of the posts here, I’ve recently been making more of an effort to be more active here on Lemmy to combat this. But honestly, as someone who hasn’t had a proper social media account for over a decade now, I actually prefer a more empty internet vs one filled with nonsense.

I feel like I’m going crazy, because I distinctly remember checking out this project a couple of years ago (before they were called Linkwarden, and then when they renamed it) and noticing all the ai-looking commits (especially after the rename) in the repo so I wrote off the project. Also notice how OP doesn’t deny that they’re using it, just says he started the project before ChatGPT. I went through his profile and the AI profile picture and https://github.com/daniel31x13/gstack fork are pretty telling.

Let’s be honest, a lot of FOSS projects have been inundated with ai pull requests, and I looked at some that were merged. At least the dev looks like they’re being responsible about them. Look at the contributors for the last 6 months, claude is right there: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/commit/8bd3bd376316332693c5074a59dc3ab03559f1dc. Look at that contributor’s profile and website. For another one: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/pull/1553. Look at that user’s GitHub profile, look at the activity, look at his website. I’m not saying he’s not a good programmer or anything like that, but be for real, he’s absolutely using AI for his code, if not an ai agent of some sort.

I also find it hard to believe an app that features ai tagging wouldn’t also use ai. So it seems disingenuous to tag their Reddit post with “No AI” in r/selfhosted.

At the end of the day, I’m not personally invested, and they’re free to use ai in their project (it is a tool after all and can be used responsibly). But I’m really developing trust issues with how dodgy some projects are about disclosing their AI usage. Like just say you use it to debug, qa, brainstorm, or write your docs, and or that the outputs are actually reviewed by a person.
