Woah, thanks for the tool, seems very useful indeed!

As there are no decent reviews that I could find, right now I'm just taking all the articles (257 on sciencedirect, couldn't find more elsewhere) and I'm slowly working through them with zotero.
I am on the lookout for sloppy statistics, that is always a good advice, but so far I haven't seen any quantitative data in general... I've only just started though, so I hope to find more.

@tom79@mastodon.social you are rolling out so quickly no one noticed, don't worry =D

@tom79@mastodon.social this app is getting EPIC

@jeffalyanak
What works in my experience is they asking me how to speed up their very slow laptop, me trying a live debian that goes so fast they don't believe it, they beg me to install that damn thing because they usually have to wait 3 minutes for the browser to open and 1 hour for the updates when they shut down.

No worries, I see your point of view and I don't disagree, after all we are on the fediverse, we both must like decentralization :)
I'm not that sure whether a federated software for hospitality exchange would work better at the moment, but I'd love to find out alright. If someone would start working on something like that I'll back him/her up, sure thing.

maybe slightly long reply 

@erosdiscordia

No worries. It is a rather good question, right now I'd say that a critical mass is when the platform does what it should well. If it's a wiki, means that the quality and quantity of the pages increase, with a hospitality exchange maybe that you usually find a host without too much of an effort?

It doesn't usually happen atm (also because of the choice of making it invite only, which on the other hand has kept the quality high).

Maybe a federated approach could increase that mass? I'd be curious to see it, even though I wouldn't put it in my top 5 application I'd like to see federated =D

I'd be afraid of moderation, quite. When you sleep in someone else's place you want the platform to be quite controlled, especially for young women who oftentimes have bad experiences on couchsurfing. With the fediverse moderation is difficult and has its challenges (I'm a mod, I've faced a few).

@mayel
What do you mean? TR is not really in competition, not market-wise at least, being not for profit, donation based and open source, is just a community of travellers. It's not like federating is perfect for any use case, not saying this won't work, but it seems to me that it would require some more deep and technical consideration first.

Anyway, just start your project, no one is stopping anybody

@erosdiscordia
What, why would you think that? What I meant is that, it not having that many users, I see no real urge to decentralize the software.
@mayel

@ondiz
Yes, kinda, but I had to take a long nap, wake up again, coffee again and pretend the day just started.

@mayel
I am not sure that those ups would actually balance the downs like how it's easier to manage moderation, implement new functions and develop the software in a centralized service. Trustroots doesn't have all that critical mass right now and everybody feels to me quite attached to the project, wanting to share the space together that is.

It could be interesting though, I'm not a programmer

@ondiz
Weird morning. I woke up with a blond hair in my mouth, no idea where could it have come from, and first thing I see when I open the window was snow. It was 10°C or so yesterday.
I also receive a notice from a place I should have gone today: we are close for wind.

I had to make a reality check to make sure I wasn't still dreaming.

@mayel
I don't know, what advantages would you see in that? Like, different policies by instance, or..?

@rvlobato Nice article. I wonder how the hell "researchers" think they are doing science if they do not also specifically say what algorithms and statistic tools they used.

And R rocks <3

trustroots.org is an open source hosting exchange website (like couchsurfing) born in the hitchwiki.org community, and is an awesome one. The android app was in the play store only, but today platschi put the android app in a repo:

nice job!

@HerraBRE
Strength is usually considered at what's the max intensity you can express, that is, a few pushups is the same of 50 pushups. Being able to do more of one movement is a matter of endurance, and it will have some other mechanisms associated.

Doing a lot of pushups can put quit a strain on joints and is likely not really a good idea. There was a thread about it on /r/bodyweightfitness... let me see...
Here it is

My doctor prescribed to me a basically untested therapy with only one, badly done study of years ago.

Dear MDs here, this is how you lose people's (and patient's) trust.
