I think it's best to find a local instructor. When you do it online, you have no one to correct your posture. Also if you really want to practice it as a martial art and not just a health exercise, you need partners to practice with. I use online material only as a complementary resource.

It's also really easy to get lost in esoteric nonsense online to be honest, Tai Chi is associated with Taoism and TCM, and if you go down that rabbit hole, suddenly you find people claiming they can energy heal without even touching others. Just something to be wary of.

Makes sense to me since Tai Chi is a bit like combining meditation, muscle relaxation and low to medium intensity exercise. It also had a positive impact on my sleep.

The data is from 2017, surely that perception has changed - still surprising though.

Ich frag mich ob das gut oder schlecht ist. Vielleicht würden dadurch endlich wichtige Reformen in die Wege geleitet werden..

I like being able to turn on a movie or TV series I enjoy while doing some exercises at home.

Having to go somewhere with that annoying workout music blaring 24/7, needing to wait for equipment to become free.. just not for me.

I have stopped using the "All" feed for that reason, it's best to find communities that you're interested in and only look at those in my experience. Finding them without the All feed is the challenge though. I've found Lemmy to be quite nice when it was new, but it seems this is the way all communities go when they reach a certain size.

Yes, LLMs are too costly for this and require a cloud service, smaller models could run on the client. The main difficulty is getting the training data and preparing it for machine learning.

It feels more like a quick way to make some money from companies who will begrungingly pay until they can phase out the library (which can take time). No goodwill can be gained from such a sudden rug pull.

I am disappointed about their recent switch to a subscription model though. They quietly removed the single-time purchase "Golden Edition" and introduced multiple subscriptions. Not a good start, let's see if the enshittification continues like with all API testing tools.

I feel a bit conflicted about that, do I want that extension to hide the terrible clickbaity titles and thumbnails? For me that's a good reason to not watch these videos in the first place

Ich bin tatsächlich noch nie Ski gefahren, interessiert mich aber auch nicht damit Anzufangen. Finde die Kosten von Skikarten, Ausrüstung, An- und Abreise und Verpflegung schon sehr abschreckend.

I wouldn't mind if they were all fictional, but the massive Porsche logo? Come on, I'm not paying for a game just to see product placements. It's like Death Stranding with the energy drinks again.
