Microsoft admits Game Pass price hike drove away "millions" of subscribers
My son disagrees with my decision to leave after that price hike. But, I set aside the annual amount in an "envelope" for him to buy games outright on steam etc vs renting them on Gamepass

Businesses can discriminate against their customers? Alright then...
I can't imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person's beliefs.
I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.
Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I'd not agitate customers if it were my business.

[The Verge] You don’t have to freak out about aspartame in your diet soda
I quit artificial sweeteners last year. Just use real sugar in moderation. Seems to be working for me. Biggest change is switching to water to drink. Once you conquer that the rest is cake.

What's your most pointless or silliest automation?
Our assistant speaker tells us... "Your shit's clean" and "Your shit's dry" a few minutes after the washer/dryer stop (just using power consumption stopping). Useful I guess but generally you can hear them stop. It was more for comedic value than anything else.
I have a couch light turn on when I sit down at a certain spot on the couch after sunset at 30% using an "Everything Presense sensor" totally to play with my wave tech

Rhea Seehorn Wins Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Drama "Pluribus"
Reply in thread
Ya, I hate this, but I am not sure if it's just me getting older or just training, but I just watch what I watch and if it stops/never comes back oh well.
There are a few shows I'm still disappointed they ended early, but either TV just isn't as good now, I just don't care as much or maybe a bit of both...

How do you strengthen your ankles?
If you haven't sprained/hurt them and they're sore, that sounds like they're not happy about something. Overuse, or some gear issue (shoe), but generally inflamed.
But, to just answer your question, run on trails not the road and you'll strengthen all the lower leg muscles connected to your foot/ankle. Just remember to pick up your feet more than street running, or your gonna fall!
P.S. you're still probably going to fall :)

What are your favorite automations?
I'm tracking my HVAC filter and rest it's 90days with an NFC tag
Loosely followed an online how-to to create a tracking chore list using NFC tags for my son's allowance. Automations to nag him on trash night to gather/take out the trash.
A simple Automation that turns on a fan in the basement when the outside temp is above out AC setting to help distribute cool basement air.
Outside security lights on/off at dusk/dawn
House auto arms/disarms (Alarmo) when everyone leaves or someone arrives (via life 360 integration)
On trash day, after noon if my son scans (NFC) one of the trash cans, the garage door opens to let him in/put them away.
My son gets a notification when he comes home from school if we got mail (aka the mailbox was opened that day)
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Welcome reddit refugees!
Reply in thread
On a whim tonight I just went to https://join-lemmy.org/ from a reddit post, looked at the list of servers, found lemmy.world accepting logins, created an account, and here I am. Was super painless/fast. BUT, now to figure out how to sub to communities and setup my feed!

for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
Ive spent 98% of my time here in Lemmy vs. 2% since last night. I'm not deleting my reddit account just yet, but, overall like what I am seeing here. I'm also just trying to figure everything out here.
There are issues/worries about what happens when an instance goes away, where's that content go? Duplicate/fragmented communities on multiple instances.
I'm more worried about losing the CONTENT that we created on Reddit, etc as a historic/research tool if reddit fails completely. Lot of content with people helping others.
I see/saw a lot of talk about wiping your data before leaving... I'm sure if that happened in larg volumes, they have backups of that content. No idea what legal ramifications there are with restoring them though.
I'm in a wait and see, but w/o RIF I'm gonna be hard pressed to use reddit on my phone, and if old. Goes away that might end it for me.

Thoughts on garmin watches?
For normal non city running any of them should be fine. The more expensive ones will reach more satellites by supporting other non US systems like GLONASS, and GALILEO increasing accuracy by using more satellites.
I generally use just gps on my Fenix 6x Pro. Unless I'm running in thick trails where the extra satellites might help.
DC rainmaker definitely has a lot of in depth info on accuracy.
I've had a 910xt, 920xt, Fenix 3HR, Fenix 5x, and now The 6x pro. Running very similar courses for my daily runs and they all report mostly the same. I overlayed a few old tracks compared to new ones and they're all close.

There are zero "principles" involved in that sign. It's one ass trying to piss off other asses.

Study shows many American atheists hide their non-belief
Definitely don't hide it, and freely admit it if the subject comes up, however I don't hang out with people that talk about religion much, if at all.
So, there's not a lot of opportunities to declare my lack of belief.

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
Reply in thread
I do, and YouTube is my primary Media consumption for both video and music.
That said, I have the family plan which went from $15-23 back a few months ago and it was difficult to keep. I actually cancelled it and used Spotify and some of the available ad-blocking apps, but ultimately didn't like Spotify, so I came back.
If it were to go up again anytime remotely soon I'd be gone.

I do this and even have a card on my tablet/dashboard with how many days left on the filter! Tag is down on the furnace.

Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
Had an account since about 2010, looks like I stopped using it around 2016. Just logged in to see what if anything was left. A few notes, nothing important.
Tried closing my account instead of just leaving it hanging out there and it fails. Guess I'll try later

(Mildly NSFW) Welp, I guess that's it. The single photo that got my ~10-year-old, 60k+ karma Reddit account "permanently suspended."

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I just stopped cold turkey.

how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit?
I have not visited reddit logging in since last Sunday. I've gone to a couple subreddits from a browser not logged in to see if they were still private. I uninstalled RIF after like 12 years of use.
