OpenAI is going to crash so hard.

The Transit app has been quite helpful for me to replace Google Maps!

Google illegally maintains monopoly over internet search, judge rules in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Today was not about determining consequences / repercussions. It was only about deciding yes or no on the monopoly issue. The next step in the legal process is determining repercussions for Alphabet, and it seems like there are some pretty dramatic options on the table.

I really hope you are right, and tbh I'm going to hold that opinion going forward because it can be a self fulfilling one I think.

Lol we are so deeply fucked. This last week has been a bigger impact from SCOTUS alone that the election is small potatoes in comparison

For someone who probably wants America to be a strictly Christian nation that respects Scripture, its shocking that this dumbass isnt aware that Paul never met Jesus, and that its actually the Sermon on the Mount (not Mound).

Selfhosted alternatives to Goodreads? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] mosscap@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

To be honest I've found a really incredible community of like-minded people on BW and regularly find top quality book suggestions just from seeing what these people are reading. One key is to find your favorite books, and then follow lots of the same people who felt similar to you. Some will be misses and have bad recommendations going forward, but at least a handful will be very like-minded readers.

Question about longer-distance cycling in c/bicycling@lemmy.world

[–] mosscap@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

Thanks, friend! I appreciate the reply! Randonneuring is definitely the goal that I have been working towards. Finishing a 200km ride this year is my peak goal, as that would qualify me as a legit randonneur!

I think that perhaps I will pump the breaks on the 157km ride, since it's on Canada Day and I think my spouse would appreciate me being available for childcare, but I think I'll find a better training plan for completing the 200km in September.

Hi friends! I feel like I'm at a bit of a crossroads with my cycling journey right now, and I'd really love to get some feedback from some of y'all.

For background, I started getting into longer distance cycling events last year as a way to stay healthy and fit, especially since my partner and I have an 18 month toddler. Cycling is both a mental health and physical fitness outlet for me.

I'm riding a Surly LHT with 700x32 Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, so I'm almost always at the back of the pack. I am not part of a team, so I'm never able to draft behind people either.

Last year I completed 2 Gran Fondos, one of which was the Whistler Sea to Sky Fondo. Yesterday was my first ride of the year and despite spending all winter with TrainerRoad 3 times a week, my time was actually slower than it was a year before and I missed the cutoff time.

Granted, I had an exhausting week leading up to their ride, I got slightly drunk 2 nights before the ride which resulted in bad sleep, and then a toddler-induced bad nights sleep the night before the ride.

Needless to say, that was pretty discouraging, especially since my plan has been to try and go for even longer rides this year (a 157km ride on July 1 and a 200km in September). My partner wants me to back down from leaning into these fondo style rides (and the longer ones too obvi), and in my disappointment from this weekend I'm inclined to go along with that.

But here are my questions:

How much should I read into my results this weekend? Could it just be chalked up to a hard week and a bad nights sleep?
If I had a really hard day going for 120km on June 9, should I pull back on trying to go for 157km on July 1 and 200km in September?
If anyone is a toddler-parent who works full time and engages in long-distance cycling, I'd love to hear how you make that work

Having known a few Germans, I can blindly extrapolate that they love cars even more than Americans do. Although, they love cars because of the science and mechanics of how cars work. Americans, on the other hand, love cars because they are lazy and homicidal people who will literally burn the world to ashes as long as they can get to Costco 15 minutes faster.
