Agreed on all accounts. Feels half-baked and abandoned.

LOL the Samsung fanboys crack me up when they try to insist there's no bloatware on these devices. I haven't bought one of those pieces of shit since the S6.

So why list it on both?

Don't they have their own store?

Might be finally time to upgrade my hardware...

I'd probably choose somewhere outside of France. Hetzner probably a better bet.

and then getting sued for fixing is a much stronger political signal

It's a crime. They can go to jail.

but instead award money to secret solutions that help nobody.

It helps them deliver a message to legislators that says "we've proven we can fix these problems today, if you'll just let us".

Not going to speak to Bandcamp, specifically but generally anytime you create an account, all of your activity then becomes associated with that account. In the case of Bandcamp? With a properly aliased email address? Should be fine.

I find that people on the internet are largely incapable of level-headed discussions.

Start a discussion, debate, or ponder about whether water is wet

Do we really need more petty debates? 😅

Strava is an absolute nightmare to use. My feed is absolutely chock full of ads and dog-walkers. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy they're taking a 0.2 mile walk around their block and logging their progress, but I don't need to see it. Nike, TrainerRoad, Zwift, Peloton all have giant ads every time their users upload an activity. And I don't understand it because it's not an ad-supported network. Like I would happily pay to have all this shit hidden. It would be extremely simple for Strava to fix this, which would just be to provide me with a simple filter for what type of activities I'd like to see. The fact that they haven't done so, a long time ago, leads me to believe that they simply don't want to, for whatever reason. Plus they've already begun to enshittify by breaking integrations with third parties.

Are there any good options for this?

E: to be clear, I'm asking about the social aspect of Strava.
