@arstechnica Honestly, I was already ditching fitbit for other issues just before the acquisition. This just makes me glad I got out early (and fitbit was #3 - Basis Band, MS Band, then FitBit. Garmin's the way to go for non-apple fitness tracking). MS Band was great until it was discontinued.

@eff Happy Birthday (and thanks for all that you do)!

@Gargron well, either you, or the Great Old Ones!

Have fun, and keep your sanity!

@arstechnica Yay, but the #SpywareOnWheels business model that ALL New Cars are implementing needs to be killed with extreme prejudice!

@arstechnica #enshittification in action. So glad I ditched fitbit years ago for my Garmin Fenix

@arstechnica Yet another #Car review which doesn't touch the 2 awful truths - 1) How does the car handle Privacy/how does it perform when opting out of data-sharing (f at all possible)? and 2) How is the Car with ZERO subscription services?

As a tech site, I expect better of Ars - please start including this information in ALL car reviews.

As is, when I see "Class leading Technology" I hear that it's great at spying on the "owner".

@Gargron hopefully the fog only made for great shots, instead of limiting them!

@arstechnica you really need to start listing the weight of these "bikes" in your reviews.

@eff @evacide It premiered yesterday? oops.

@arstechnica In other words, we need to make sure our #surveillance and #enshittification are standardized across Alphabet/Google!

@eff @potus - this **STILL** means you!

@eff @theintercept Exactly - see Solarwinds, or even the Microsoft o365 hack.

@eff This means you @potus

@arstechnica That is insanely cool, and kudos to the #Science #Math which was able to deduce it! #BlackHole

@arstechnica

@arstechnica #Apple should Open Source the code so the community can create privacy-focused car software, as compared to the #surveillancecapitalism crap we get now. @eff - make this happen ;)

@Gargron Do they actually complete the (first) book? I've been holding off until book 1 is complete.

@arstechnica #Invenda #M&M - gotta name and shame these creepy companies.

@Gargron Analog? Did you scan it?

@arstechnica hello #enshittification !
