Strava closes the gates to sharing fitness data with other apps in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] dmtalon 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I left Strava when they adjusted their 'freemium' model and hid a number of things behind a paywall. Now I just use Garmin Connect, for tracking my stuff and an 'athletic' social circle of friends via connections/news feed.

Now there’s an ‘anti-AI’ camera app for Android, too in c/android@lemdro.id

Does that remove any on device AI the pixel camera does? Or is it just an uncompressed version of the same photo?

I started watching SGU. in c/stargate@lemmy.world

I definitely enjoyed SGU and have watched it through a few times. Its a shame it was not able to continue.

How do I finish secure boot? Linux mint cinnamon in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I just followed this video last week and it worked a charm. If for Fedora but should be close

For more info, I installed a second m.2 drive and setup dual boot. So I disabled windows from the boot order as he suggested just in case

I tested the Pixel 9's excellent new underwater camera mode in the blue Hawaii waters in c/googlepixel@lemmy.world

[–] dmtalon 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pixel Drop, though, allows the underwater mode to work on the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold with any underwater case, not just specific cases Google has vetted. This makes the feature much more accessible to people, as you don’t need an expensive diver-quality case to see those

MTG insists Trump win proves she’s not a fringe extremist: ‘I am ‘mainstream America’ in c/news@lemmy.world

oh great, she's back... It was nice not seeing stories about here on here / in the news for a while

What was the worst car you've ever owned? in c/cars@lemmy.world

[–] dmtalon 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Our first new car was a 1999 Dodge Durango that we babied. We had both front door skins and rear gate replaced because it was rusting out with 15k miles on it (garage kept).

Went all the way through arbitration trying to get it replaced without success. First and last Chrysler product we owned. Put it up for sale and never looked back. Giant POS.

I agree the drivetrain was solid, the 5.9L was strong. But made with the worst steel available.

Pixel phones reportedly getting highly anticipated battery charging limit feature in c/android@lemdro.id

FC Cincinnati kickoff 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs with emphatic 1-0 victory over NYCFC in c/fccincinnati@lemmy.world

[–] dmtalon 3 points 11 months ago

For sure, and my expectations were pretty low based on how we've been playing the second half of this season with all of our injuries, but it was fantastic last night to get that win.

Finally did it, got my parent on linux. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] dmtalon 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks, I'll check them out. I've heard mint a few times as a good beginner distro. I'll probably dual boot my PC on whatever I am gonna recommend him for a bit so I get my bearings and can support him a bit :)
