Da ich wenig Touren mit Fahrrad oder zu Fuß unternehme, ist Komoot und Strava für mich kein Thema. Aber ich habe mitbekommen, dass es da wohl zu einem Verkauf mit folgender Enshittification kam / kommen wird. Und tatsächlich bietet das Fediverse eine Alternative (soweit ich das beurteilen kann): Wanderer https://wanderer.to/welcome
I used the #PrincessLamplighter for a trip to the grocery store, which I recorded on #Strava or … actually I should say that I tried to record it. The recording failed, thus it is not on Strava and as all Strava users know, that means it never actually happened and so my family wi…
«Komoot is neither a moral failure nor an outlier but the capitalist system of value extraction working exactly as intended for the platform owners. Whether they’re called Komoot, Strava, AllTrails, or Garmin, for-profit corporations squeeze and sell us out when we give them the opportunity. […] capturing communities with false promises only to sell us out is business as usual in the corporate internet.»
It's why we need community-governed and -owned infrastructure.

Maybe it's time for security forces to understand that information security is a) also important and b) easily compromised. The Strava vulnerability is a known issue - I saw news articles about that a few years ago. But surely by now the security world should know that any app that shares information on an unsecure system is a risk?
And I wonder what a review of how this is playing out in the US would show. Inquiring minds, and all that.

B.C. cyclist's clever Strava drawings:
"Perfect intersection' of art, fitness and road rash
When B.C.'s Janine Strong got into road cycling in 2019, she had no idea it would lead her down the path of Strava art: the creation of massive GPS-tracked sketches around the world."
See Ya later Alligator

Me (to myself): Get in to work early this morning, with no messing about on the way in. Just 'a to b', fast and efficient!
Also me: [Leaves very late, grabs a unicycle and proceeds to cycling in via the following route]

Since I did not get to take part in the Oslo Enhjulssykkelrunde (Unicycle Tour of Oslo) this year (I was busy with the kids), I decided to do my own little varient of it as part of my commute on the way into work today.
Distance 23.91km [14.86 miles], moving time 1h36m, 175m [574ft] elevation gain, average speed 14.9km/h [9.3mph]
FWIW, I actually only live about 5km [3.1 miles] from my office 🤷 😆
Jag vidhåller att det mest anmärkningsvärda med Säpos hantering är att Le Monde har en världsomspännande publicering om hur Bidens och Macrons livvakter läcker position via Strava i oktober 2024. I juni 2025 fortsätter svenska livvakter läcka *på exakt samma sätt*.
1) Det är anmärkningsvärt att inte upptäcka den här läckan på 7-9 år, trots att risken är känd, men…
2) Att inte agera när Le Monde publicerar en världsomspännande nyhet som exakt avslöjar metoden som läckan sker på…
Jag har semester, men Säpo kan ju inte hålla sig i skinnet så det blev ett nyhetsbrev/inlägg ändå idag.
Dagens Nyheter visar i en granskning hur nuvarande och tidigare statsministrar kunnat kartläggas med hjälp av öppen information som publicerats av naiva livvakter i flera år. Detta inkluderar "mycket känsliga delar av flera skyddspersoners liv och vanor”.
Jag har använt Strava som ett varnande exempel i snart 10 år. Säpo har tydligen bott under en sten.
