Interesting that they would remove it now.

Hashtags killed conversations. Algorithms just finished the job.

Imagine, you're google. You have indexed the World Wide Web for decades. You see breakingcopyright.com and yet your algorithms, and search engine website database don't realise that this is a DRM free music site, rather than a piracy website. This makes Google look pretty amateurish.

Strava – How to Upload Manually Since Strava has decided to sue Garmin, and since Suunto has decided to sue Garmin as well, for different reasons, I feel now is a good opportunity to remind ourselves of how to upload to Garmin and Strava manually. Exporting to Strava Garmin If you record an activity with a Garmin device, you can navigate to connect.garmin.com, log in and go to the activity.

Once you have all the toys required for home made coffee it's cheap. I still have to try torrefaction one of these days.

I like the process, as much as the taste.

"Not Yet", that's what he's thinking. That's what NY stands for, right? ;-)

Autumn Cycling at Dawn and Dusk This afternoon I could ride to Geneva to go for a group ride that starts at 17:30. If I do so I need to keep in mind that by 19:00 the sun will be setting, and almost instantly the temperature will drop. That's why evening rides have ended with most groups. Losing Daylight If the days get shorter by three minutes per day, then that's half an hour every ten days.

Get up at the crack of dawn and go for a walk. That should help you justify Autumn clothing.

The article isn't about phishing attacks, I just think that ai girlfriends are a way for immoral people to make money, at the expense of lonely people.

If Barbie was in trouble for being unrealistic, then AI girlfriend phishing attacks, and unrealistic AI 'photos' of women will only dig the hole deeper. AI is deeply immoral. There should be laws against AI girlfriends as a threat vector for phishing attacks.

And then we will see "Youth are swinging for the Far Right". Of course they're swinging to the Far Right, when the media landscape is owned and controlled by the Far Right, and their education did not adequately prepare them to question what they are told, or provide them with the historical context

Time to crowdsource recipes to make some of your own.

It could, if we have the stamina.

L'agence de l'ONU pour les réfugiés a dû supprimer plus d'un quart de ses effectifs cette année L'agence des Nations unies pour les réfugiés (HCR) a été contrainte de supprimer près de 5000 postes depuis le début de l'année, dans un contexte de coupes "sombres" dans le financement de l'aide inte...

The world is wealthier than ever, but because trickle down economics was a con, billionaires horde that cash, and human beings are fired. Humanitarian organisations like UNHCR lose a quarter of their staff as a result. Meanwhile billions are pumped into AI. Humans spend money. AI doesn't.

The worst thing about AI is that it wants to make money from others, without investing its own time and money. in the late 90s and Zeros we had blogwise, a human powered catalogue of blogs. If AI had been around then it would have been classed as spam. AI is spam. AI is content farming. Immoral.

Thank YOU to everyone who has helped make our first week a success 🙏

I like "as world's..." not, just Europe, or Asia, or other continents. Global.

Sports Tracker is Waking Up In the 2000s I was using a Nokia N95 8gb with Sports tracker to track my walks every day. Eventually, when I started scuba diving I switched to Suunto to track dives, and eventually wore one for hikes, and then I upgraded to the Suunto Ambit 2, 3, Spartan Wrist HR Baro and then the Peak 5. At the same time as I was jumping from one watch to another Sports Tracker was growing, and then Suunto bought it, and it became Movescount and this app was truly fantastic.

Don't spend too much of your thirties around bitter, divorced 40 year olds. Find optimistic 30 year olds with the same sporting passions.

Do you have a fear of birds? Nice murmuration I caught just now. :-)

Twice, I ordered a coffee from a place, before a bike ride, and twice I didn't get it. It doesn't matter. I didn't pay for either. For the price of those two coffees I can buy enough coffee beans to make 31 coffees at home. Twice, as in on two separate occasions.

Tired Heading Up to La Faucille Yesterday I felt strong cycling with the group, up from Nyon to Saint Cergue and on to the Col De La Givrine before heading towards La Cure. Part of the reason for feeling strong is that I have climbed the Jura multiple times this summer, so climbing up has become less strenuous. I am now habituated to heading up the Jura for the first climb of the day.

I was thinking about independent thought and AI. People, through AI, are being brainwashed into expecting artificial intelligence to tell them to think a specific way. Independence of thought will be lost. Imagine if we lose the skill of looking for context, and reading around a subject.

On Strava Being Irrational It is irrational and absurd for Strava to sue one of its' most important providers of data, Garmin. Every run, hike, climb and other sport that I have done for years comes from either Suunto, Garmin, Apple Watch or another brand. Garmin is huge in the cycling community. I see people with Garmin devices, wahoo devices and more. People like me have a cycling computer, and a sports tracking wrist watch.

A Continental GP 5000 Without Friction Years ago I rode with a scooter tyre for nine thousand kilometres before it was replaced. It was only replaced because I went to a different garage. Scooter tyres are rated for about 3000 kilometres before they are meant to be replaced. I rode for four thousand kilometres with my GP5000 and several times I noticed that the rear tyre skidded, either when I applied the brakes as I got home, or when I was braking in a descent, but especially when I had to emergency brake in group riding situations more than once.

Recently I started masking indoors again, especially when I saw people with deep guttural coughs nearby. I much prefer being a wanker in a mask for a few minutes, than sick for a few days or weeks. People never give personal space so masks are a good compromise.
