Yes.

I think with something like this you have to do a literature search. Even then it’s kind of tough because I’m sure it’s very hard to do objective tests of these traits.

You might say that any activity has similar aspects. Learning a difficult passage in music, learning to speak languages, learning to throw a basketball through a hoop, etc.

I’m not sure there is a huge amount of evidence that video games teach resilience any more than any other similar activity. Moreover, it’s easily the kind of thing that our biases set us up to believe things that aren’t there. For every person who learned resilience from video games, there might be three other people who learned poor lessons, like “I should be lazy and play video games and not study for my exams.”

With academic or professional resilience, I can’t say I’ve seen any positive correlation with video games.

I could easily argue that excessive video game play makes you less resilient to doing non-video-game challenges.

Thanks. Let me read it a bit more closely.

Interesting. Maybe I don’t know as much as I thought. Let me do some more reading…

Vaseline is just a petrolatum jelly and a lot of creams and moisturisers have this as a component. The problem with Vaseline is that it’s basically pure petrolatum and so blocks the skin completely.

You rarely want to block the skin completely. The uses some other people noted, like stopping bleeding, is one of those uses.

The truth is that I rarely recommend Vaseline because of how limited it is on skin use.

I recommend people look into Aquaphor by Eucerin, which is only about 40% petrolatum and moisturises a bit better. I always travel with a very small container (just a tiny bit) of the stuff. It’s useful if you have any skin conditions (flaked skin, rashes, etc) that you might want to deal with pronto.

Aveeno (a very good brand for skincare) also make very similar heavy creams.

Long story short, no, Vaseline is pretty bad choice for skincare because it just blocks all air exchange. There are better choices. You often do want petrolatum…just not 100%.

This is surprising advice. I would have assumed it would make people break out.

Vaseline is a poor choice of moisturiser because it does not moisturise. It blocks air from entering your pores and I would have assumed this leads to clogged pores and hence acne.

My only input is to remember that most people will then search for “name + Lemmy” or whatever.

Memmy is a bit of an awkward name, I agree.

Hi!

Two quick items of feedback.

1. When browsing a community, it would be useful to be able to tap the community name at the top centre to go to a drop-down menu of other communities you’ve subscribed. This was default on Apollo. Obviously we have the traverse button now and that’s useful.

2. When searching communities it would be really useful to see number of users. This is especially important as there can be many communities named after a similar topic, say, “photography”.

Seconded Memmy here. I was originally using mlem and Memmy but I’m afraid Memmy has taken the league in my books. Honestly already at this point, it supersedes Apollo in some ways (like customisation of themes).

Thanks! I might have another look. I briefly tried it just in Chrome but found that the spacing wasn’t very efficient. Do you use it in Safari on iOS?

Just chiming in to note another Reddit migrator. If you are on iOS, the Memmy and mlem apps are very good and improving rapidly.

What is information archival on the Fediverse like? Is there any advantage to Reddit?

Also if I understand last discussions, it’s not clear how well the Fediverse currently behaves with Google searches.

So at the moment my “workflow” is to completely stop accessing Reddit via mobile apps. I’ll still use Reddit via Google Searches because it remains important for finding key information.

I’m content playing with Lemmy as my main mobile “app”.
