Cycling meme thread turns into debating imperial vs metric. So @mcneese.chad detours the memes into this tracker thread. I like it!

Man,
Isn’t this like the third or fourth time someone has complained about their data being used through a service they willingly signed up for and agreed to the terms and services for?
Like, you know you can cancel your subscription and find an alternative, or ya know, coach yourself and record all of your data in a notebook that you keep inside a lock box that is stored inside a fireproof safe, surrounded by a Faraday cage, protected by a trained guard dog.
I get that there are individuals who want to be more private with their data, I’ve been surrounded by tech and computers since I was born in the 80’s because my father is an IT-Sec guy and has worked with every big tech company ever. I also have data that I also prefer to keep private, or make difficult to access, but if you’re using a service that is going to read and analyze you submitted data maybe you make some concessions in understanding what they’re doing?

LOL, I felt free to do so since Ivy kicked off the memes in the first place

The Strava thing is close. As I understand it, it only needs the checkbox hooked up to the Strava sync page. Everything else is done.
We’re looking at it right now.

Nice
If you have even passing concerns about online privacy, you should get familiar with the good work being done at the EFF.

@IvyAudrain does this mean we’ll get a “Beers with Ivy”? I mean…you have the beer now!

I was being diplomatic in my reply.
I work in IT, served in the military, still have a TS clearance, everything about me is everywhere already. I’m certainly not worried about much when it comes to online “privacy”.
I’m probably a bit too loose with where my stuff goes, but I get that some people are skeeved out by it. We still have the ultimate choice in privacy if we so choose it…unplug.
EVERYTHING.
You are certainly a bit too loose in discussing things like clearance levels on here…

Yeah, but there’s nowhere else to go. The economy of most of the internet is based on selling our habits as commodities. I get that this is just “how it works” but my point (and I think the OP’s) is that it shouldn’t be how it works. It’s invasive and gross. Sure, it’s not bad enough to get me offline, but I do like to claw back whatever control/privacy I can, even if the end result is that I get the same crappy ad targeting.
To reiterate thee point I made above, since we’re paying a bunch of money for this service (higher than some competitors), then it’s reasonable to request that TR doesn’t sell our data. I’m glad to hear they’re not doing that (or at least not doing it through that particular FB pixel).

I’m so confused…is this thread about privacy, new features, or beer?

@Nate_Pearson correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is, this thread is about how Beers with Chad is being replaced with "Shots with @IvyAudrain ". If so that is awesome!
