   Unsubscribed to Strava, and put my Garmin watch aside. More subscription name AI nonsense. I don’t need AI to tell me anything about my fitness activities.

   Again, all of these things are solutions in search of problems, and lack of product market fit.

     This is quite different from something like TrainAsOne, a very tiny research-based team that is doing interesting work with ML- stuff based on running data across the world.

     It actually helped me get back into running, sort of as an alternative to a real coach. Gen AI stuff to tell you you ran faster than yesterday and up more of an incline, seems kind of nonsensical. These companies are just seeking gains in stock price.

     @skinnylatte As Doctor Rohin Francis (MedLife Crises) says, we need to stop medicalising everyday life esp with smartwatches and trackers

     As gross as consumer capitalism was, I do miss when products were being sold to the people who bought them instead of the people who are investing in them.

     @mklovenotcyber @skinnylatte Endurain is my planned Strava replacement:

     And this list has been great to inform my other decisions about it, Awesome-Garmin:
     https://github.com/bombsimon/awesome-garmin

     If you have a lot of data in Garmin Connect already, there are also tools to download your data and bring it back in house to import into these other apps.

     I'm trying to remember the data container for analyzing and making pretty / usable graphs. I'll follow up with that when I find that.

     @skinnylatte I'm getting rid of my Apple Watch and switching to a Garmin as you can use it disconnected and gather your data with self-hosted apps. You don't need to contribute to their AI and their connection is still a standard export.
