That doesn't disagree with what I said, though?

Damn, I missed it this year already?

The only other brands really worth discussing are Wahoo and Polar. I've never really looked into them to know in great detail.

Tbh without having seen exactly what's going on at Garmin so far, I'd probably still be inclined to go with them, in spite of this. I'd be asking myself: if they didn't have this subscription offering, and the features behind the subscription price simply didn't exist, would I still stick with Garmin? The subscription itself is, for the moment, entirely a neutral factor for me.

The only risk is that in 5 years all the newer features are locked behind the subscription. But Garmin has always been stingy with software updates to give new features, so this doesn't really affect that.

But when is Boxing Day?

Yeah I've had exactly the same experience. I think it's an OM UX problem, not an issue with OSM itself.

in traffic accidents

Don't call it an accident.

Luckily, splintering is generally-speaking not an issue, because of how our voting system works.

If it wasn't for Cyclone Alfred, I reckon my prediction of 12 April (given WA went crazy good for Labor) would've been correct.

The Greens range from centre-left to genuine communists. There aren't many of the latter, but it's more than you'll find in Labor. And even Labor's centrism is closer to communism than the LNP's far right.

Journalists don’t use passive voice to take away blame from the police

That's right. They do it to take away blame from drivers.

Any tips?

Do your crimes in a car. That's literally all there is to it.

It's fun to blame police for things, but this is a rare case where it's not warranted. Because motornormativity is a stronger force than cops' bastardry.

The pinging would be done by the back end, not the UI, so no, I don't believe it would ping them.

It leads to their profile on your own instance.

Most of the episode just helped reinforce what I already understood to be the case. But I thought one particularly interesting bit was about how he never really had his dad's approval, and seeking it (whether consciously or not) is likely a part of why he is how he is.

In addition to what Blaze said, there's a much more public desire to leave Instagram because of how publicly awful Facebook and Zuckerberg are. Spez is not really any better, but outside of our bubble people don't really see that as much—party because he has so much less money to push his ideas outside of Reddit.

And it's just fortuitous that unlike Twitter, Instagram doesn't have any real competition that isn't using Activity Pub.

Fear the Boot, an unfortunately infrequent but excellent RPG discussion podcast. Don't let the absurd name put you off, the discussions are top notch.

Origin Story, a really great podcast going in to the history of things. Mostly political ideologies (a recent episode was entitled "the myth of cultural Marxism — anatomy of a conspiracy theory", for example, but their episodes on Neoliberalism and Centrism were also excellent), but also often political figures (the scathing review of Ayn Rand was very amusing, and the more recent Elon Musk episodes were rather enlightening), and the occasional lighter one (like the origin of Super Heroes and more recently Doctor Who). It's a podcast with few enough episodes and a slow enough release schedule (they do a few episodes one per week, then take a long season break) that it's really worth going back through the archives to listen to older episodes.
