The gist of it is that Strava just killed its free API, and will now require developers to have a subscription.

At Strava, we care deeply about developers, and the health of the developer ecosystem. There are now 241,000 Strava API developers, up from 185,000 last year. Starting today, all current and future applications will automatically receive access to the Standard developer tier. This allows you to serve up to 10 athletes and start building immediately, completely eliminating the previous queue.

This essentially kills thousands of tools people build using the free API.

If you're looking to move away from Strava, so far I've found two open source alternatives:

CubeTrek - Open-source GPS track manager with 3D topography visualization for outdoor activities.
Endurain - Self-hosted fitness tracking service for running, cycling, and more with full data control.

NGOs advertising themselves as offering legal help to vulnerable people promise help and later do nothing but saying in the media how helpful they are, or refuse said help. Playing bureaucratic football when the person is question is member of multiple vulnerable groups: why you go here for help, go there. Other NGOs trying to take control of grassroots youth movements after offering to help with some resources. More NGOs serving as PR vehicles of their solo leaders while pretending to advance human rights. Names: Insight, KyivPride, LGBT Military, EcoAction, many of them tbh, because it's all the same "community".

Regarding government entities, there are constant attempts, for years, by state companies providing water, to write generated or fake values for previous month so that you can't report correct lower values and have to pay more. Do we consider police a government entity? Haven't helped a single time, but harassed more than once.

About Reddit, I haven't used it much and I can't say anything about it besides it not very interesting. Lemmy developers are notorious assholes when it comes to anything about my country, so I'm not trying to promote it. I use other fedi tech because I like it and contribute.
