A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

that blows but props to strava for taking a stand for user privacy. even a little goes a long way.
I don't think it has anything to do with privacy, and more to do with walling off any competitors.
Garmin, along with every other major fitness platform syncs with Strava, and the user gives these platforms permission to allow their data to be used to enhance their training, come up with schedules, etc... all things that Strava would be banning.
Funny, because Strava does the same thing with the same data set, even if it didn't come from Strava to begin with! It's not a coincidence that Strava announced their own "athlete intelligence", which literally does what they are banning... as a new, paid product.
And the fact that they announced this without letting any third-party platforms know ahead of time (to prepare), is the biggest dick move they could have made.
As a user of these platforms, Strava is the last place I want my data, but since it serves as a hub to so many other platforms, it makes it easier for me to sync my data.
