The second you upload any data to Strava, it isn’t yours anymore.

I track my own activities in foss apps for this reason.

Effective November 11, the updated API agreement introduces three key changes that provide Strava users with greater control, security, and a consistent experience: 

Stronger Privacy Standards: Third-party apps may now only display a user’s Strava activity data to that specific user. Users will continue to have access to their personal Strava data across apps connected to our platform, though there may be differences in how this data appears.

Data Use Limitations: Our terms now explicitly prohibit third parties from using any data obtained via Strava’s API in artificial intelligence models or similar applications.

Protecting the Strava Experience: Additional terms have been added to protect Strava’s unique look and feel and functionality, helping users easily distinguish between Strava and third-party platforms.

Not that I use Strava or think anyone should, but the title is misleading no? It still allows third-party apps to still show you your own personal data and bans third-party apps from using that data in any machine learning.

No shit, all these social media showmatches are just grifts. Anyone who thinks they are real fights are loopy.

Correct, I have not purchased Farming Simulator 25 and probably won’t. I might play it on game pass like I did for FS22 in a couple years. I have nothing against the game at its core, I sunk countless hours in to FS17, I just expected there to be actual meaningful (to me) upgrades by now, so it feels like Giants is taking the piss.

Whether or not it was the direct cause in this case, fireworks cause a lot of animals a lot of stress and deaths do come from it.

I don’t see why anyone needs to be able to buy explosives to use at home, firework shows should be organised in set locations and should use low noise fireworks as much as possible.

Other than the yearly part (time flies, my bad), it was all subjective. If you consider fog a meaningful update, then sure, go have fun buddy.

I criticised your favourite game, so it must not be for me.

I have played 4 of the Farming Sim games, and the last 3 have had hardly any improvements to the sim, other than some graphics and gameplay taken from mods. There’s so much they could add to the simulation, but they don’t and 3 years is quite a long time to iterate.

A yearly release would be fine if they actually upgraded the simulation, proper interactable interiors, more realistic crop simulation, better weather, realistic animal simulation (its literally just a menu), etc, etc, etc.

The collectors edition even includes modding tutorials, because they want modders to do their work for them.

All they do every year is upgrade some graphics to bring it in line with games from 2009. It is, as you say, a cash grab.

It’s not the price that is the problem, it’s how iCloud is integrated into the device, in a way Apple don’t allow other cloud services to do. iCloud has access other apps simply do not, so they cannot compete fairly.

Thats fine, but if that is their focus, they should rename it to Competitive Farming or something instead of Farming Simulator.

Its the same game as the last few. They have made no actual gameplay additions, its becoming a lazy scam every year. Adding a reskinned crop isnt new gameplay.

USA police have to be the most unprofessional on the planet, right? How do any of them have jobs…?

By definition of who? It’s a nice word the USA would like to use for itself, but in reality it has no more influence than China, the EU and the Commonwealth. The truth is, the US will forever be a western ally, even if Trump would erode that somewhat through his rash decision making.

These are two of the most powerful men in the world. The US isnt as powerful as it would want you to believe. An allied Europe is a far bigger beast.

You are also underestimating how sites like SO really helped a new generation of programmers learn. Anyone could search and learn things, whether to take a serious approach or just for a bit of fun.

I thought the idea of the US version was just to avoid republicans.

Why is there so much nationalism at a club match…

The problem is, its very hard to hide the fact you are a smoker. This is why the ban will be effective, its not worth it for kids to take it up.

I dont know… looking at the map, the large cities are generally democrat majorities… you know, where the people with better jobs, hence an education, live.

Voting Trump just shows a very clear lack of critical thinking.
