    Normally I’d roll my eyes and move on…

    But in this instance I’m going to call service provider protection. It’s not the bus companies fault if you take the bus into town to rob the bank. It shouldn’t be on my ISP to check if I torrent or not. And it’s not on Microsoft what people do with the Azure platform.

    They’ve provided a service, which people have used to do bad. That doesn’t mean the service is bad.

    … though it is the fediverse and this is Microsoft … so shit away on it










  • I don’t have a straight answer … but what about Strava do you like?

    The line you see on Strava (or any fitness tracker) is just a trace (log) of where and when you went. That can be exported into many formats and moved between many different viewers. There is nothing special about Strava’s GPS trace.

    Recording that trace can be done with different things, software or devices. Then importing that trace into different places can be done.

    If it’s the social features you like, then that would be a different focus and might influence what apps you might want to consider. Komoot is a germany based company that does this really well.

    Fitness tracking? Again, that can be a focus. Runalyze seems to be winning out in this space and is based out of Germany.

    Where are you based? Some apps are more focussed on one country than another.

  • Steam Deck with the ability to run Fedora workstation (I love Gnome)

    Don’t be too focussed on needing to run Fedora for access to Gnome. The OS on the deck (Arch in this case) has the ability to run Gnome. It’ll just be getting it working “right” that’ll be a pain. I would have thought some people are already on it (even if just for a laugh). A cursory web search says it does work with some odd input issues.

    That is the beauty of (and often the complexity of) the Linux ecosphere. You can change one thing, Fedora to Arch, and the other things “should” still work.
