Yep, most of my non-tech friends just say “Ads? Oh yeah, I don’t even notice them anymore, I got so used to them.” whenever that topic pops up in a conversation.

Enshittification actually does work, but only up to a point. Unfortunately, all the corporations have all the subtlety of a Sherman tank, so they always go all in on it.

How does it compare to the SkyMap app? I’ve been using that one for years, and am happy with it.

If I understand it correctly, they were confident a while ago already that they could return safely, but they’re taking advantage of the situation to do some tests and experiments to learn more about the failure.

(If you disagree, go yell at Scott Manley, I heard it in one of his recent videos.)

An experiment should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Alright, so it can do some direct syncs via Garmin API, I didn’t know that. Last time I checked, only manually uploading your gpx files was possible.

Neat, I’ll definitely set this up. Dockerized, of course, my little server already has lot of services on it, got to keep things neatly separated. :)

So, what do you think of the Garmin intergration? I have had Fittrackee in my sights for a good while now, and the only thimg holding me back from trying it is that I donk know how painful (or painless) the activity upload/sync from my Garmin watch will be.
