I am a bit confused, why do you think it’s a bad idea? My assumption, of course, what that “the app exists” == “the app works”. At least for me, xdrip is the only diabetes related app/tool I use at all. (It’s also not that I am unable to manage my diabetes WITHOUT xdrip, it’s just sooooo much more convenient than managing it through the sensor manufacturers’ apps.)

No need to push beginners towards arch, they’ll become curious and check it out just for the meme anyways

On an unrelated note, have you heard the good news about our Lord and Savior, NixOS?

For me personally, xdrip+.

Can’t switch to a Linux phone unless I can measure my blood glucose :(

Not the person you replied to, but: that’s just how it’s always been on reddit, guess Lemmy just copied it.

Ngl, being able to wear leggins is about 90% of the benefit of SRS for me.

It’s been 5 or 6 years, 100% worth it.

NO, not “rule now”!! “Rule never”! Tss, looks like you still haven’t learned your lesson, princess…

Thank you for the clarifications! I positively suck at doing my hair, but will definitely give this a try :)

One more question though, wouldn’t the blue loop slip out of the pink loop over time, from the weight of the blue “end”?

Collapse

I think the steps I don’t understand / aren’t very clear from the pictures are

• I assume you clip the blue “end” to the top of your head temporarily at step 4?
• what goes through the pink loop at the end? Just the aforentioned “end”? Or just the blue loop? If the first, what’s the loop even for? If the second, what happens with the blue end?
• how many hair ties are you left with in your hair at the end? 0? 1? 2?

Or have a Video link?

Acceptable

Am more confused now

Define “inside me”

Sure, but if everyone said it differently, than that would also be part of the language. I don’t disagree with you, I just think you’ve described language (in this context) 😄

…no?

I think what plays into this is also language. In English / to you, I presume it makes perfect sense to say “Pi is approximately three point one four”. In other languages (for me, German) the literal translation “Pi ist ungefähr drei Punkt eins vier” sounds awful and wrong. We say “Pi ist ungefähr drei Komma eins vier” (“Pi is approximately three comma one four”) so we also write it like this 🤷🏼‍♀️

OK im gonna stop commenting now.

Ah, I think my edible just hit, that explains it

Oops, might have gone a little off topic there.

Oof yeah. Finding a reddit thread with your exact query as the title, getting excited to see a comment, aaaaand… It’s “This comment was deleted by EliteUltraEraser Premium TM. I value my privacy,…”

(I do get it though. And who knows, maybe this will actually help in the long run and not just lead to increased usage of Discord communities so ask the same thing over and over and over again because they aren’t fucking publicly searchable god I hate what Discord has done to the searchability of issues in the tech space?)
