I find that Uniqlo's jackets are really casual/stylish for me, and my main go-to outfit is a some form of higher neck top (usually Uniqlo's bra-tops), their UV jacket worn open, and long pants/jeans. Couple that with a bucket hat or baseball cap for more casual headwear. I don't find the styles boring, though I do have a pretty minimalist fashion sense and prefer plain clothing.
I know for sure Uniqlo makes pattern clothing that are also UPF-rated. Muji also does make some as well (but very minimalist in style). A lot of the hiking brands that you've posted also make casual-like UPF gear, and I want to add The North Face making UPF gear though very seasonally (not always in stock). Check out Cotopaxi as well. For women-specific, there's also Title Nine (and the other brands they stock) and Athleta. I find a lot of athlesiure brands' clothing to have UPF ratings as well, since that's essentially what tightly woven polyester is.
Swimwear is actually much easier to find non-plain styles. There are a lot of different brands doing long-sleeve rash guards in different patterns/styles from traditional retailers. I also like wearing long swim leggings with unlined board shorts layered over it for things like paddle-boarding/kayaking.
I'm not sure what jeans were being tested for the EU UV standards, but even white jeans (100% rigid cotton) provides significant UPF protection due to the tighter weave. Anecdotally, I've worn very light washes of 100% rigid cotton jeans outdoors for prolonged periods of time under very high UV levels and haven't tanned even the slightest bit (which I know isn't the most accurate indicator, but as someone whose skin is photosensitive my skin not being irritated under those conditions is actually a pretty good sign). So I wouldn't worry about jeans all that much.
But yeah, usually a simple UPF jacket can easily be worn over your regular clothes and still look really casual yet still protective so you can keep cool designs/patterns to your base layer without too much hassle. I think it's more important to find shade/stay-indoors during very high UV levels, otherwise there's no shame in going fully kitted out in sun protective gear.
Completely agreed. I just wished these companies actually faced punitive consequences instead of sending us another "oopsies, we lost your data again teehee; you're on your own!" type of responses.
I get that that's just the way it is now, but it really shouldn't be.
I go to a store in person, buy a laptop with cash, no information required. Why does this have to be different for anything else? I purchased a laptop from Framework, because I wanted a repairable/upgradable laptop. Why should they be allowed to sell my data, why do they need a record of the IP addresses I've used to access their website, or keep my phone number on file, and so on?
At least here in the US there is no control of how our data is collected and sold against our will (barring some protection if you live in certain states), and then it inevitably leaks and now we have to deal with trying to not get our identity stolen and or inundated with spam and scams. It's incredibly frustrating. From the consumer's point of view there is no "need" for this.
I'm so sick and tired of companies keeping all of this extraneous data on us. I haven't logged into the site nor ordered anything for over a year and I also got this email. Like yes, it's technically not Framework's fault, but why are they even keeping information like IP logins or phone numbers? Why aren't they storing it in the same place they stored purchase information (which apparently has better security)?
There really is no need for these companies to even have a lot of this information. I wish there were actual punitive punishments for having data be stolen/leaked. Maybe then it'll make companies stop and truly think on "whether we really need this data in the first place." Make the fines more expensive than the profit of selling our data. I'm just super salty, because this is probably the 3rd notice I've received of my data being leaked this year alone...
It seems pretty niche unless you follow some dermatologists on YouTube so that's fair. And I'm dry all over even though I live in a hot and humid climate (like in the midst of summer right now my skin is still pretty dry).
It's a pretty low concentration of glycolic acid at 5%, and it's buffered by the high glycerin content ~50%. Unless your cheeks have an impaired skin barrier (peeling skin, burns, etc.), it's probably not going to sting. Especially since with cleansers, it's almost immediately washed off so it's a form of short-contact therapy.
Worse comes to worse you can always use it as a body wash if it doesn't work out for your face lol.
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.
Yeah, that seems like a reasonable take. At the end of the day we really don't need these upgrades, they're just nice. Especially since it appears I was unaware of their questionable sponsorship recipients, so if anything more incentive for me to hold off on buying anything for a bit before I can dig into it.
Well, yikes. I didn't know this about Framework and this is disappointing to me. I guess I can just save my cash before awaiting the next sponsorship report, though the latest one being from March this year isn't encouraging :/ but man do I really love their ethos on open, repairable, and upgradable hardware...
I'm conflicted, I've recently upgraded to the AMD mainboard in my Framework 13 (luckily right before ramageddon), but the new case, battery, screen, and input upgrades are super compelling. Having to get the new Intel mainboard with the LPCAMM2 memory and new frame to see the battery improvements is why I'm hesitating to pre-order. I don't know, maybe I'll wait for some benchmarks/reviews until I jump the gun. But I watched the livestream and I really applaud Framework for their company ethos and commitment to open hardware. I'm definitely picking up their keyboard/touchpad combo when that's up for pre-order.
I currently have a GitHub account in order to contribute to projects hosted on GitHub, because I don't think there is currently a way possible to do thinks like open up an issue without an account.
I really wish more FOSS projects would move off of GitHub. It feels wrong just having an account just so I can contribute. Hopefully horrible "features" like this encourages others to migrate.
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.
