Stepsy

It's basic. It's open source, it doesn't need GPlay, and it works.

Between this and a GPX track recorder you most of the data these things use except heart rate, and heart rate trackers are really bad at what they do.

I can also recommend MediLog for manual recording of real data from external tools.

So, Canadian chicks?

Hi from Canada, we're likely Poland in Nazi Boogaloo 2.

It also normalizes the gene pool, which can become a threat to our survival

A large portion scientists, doctors, engineers, staticians and mathematicians are on the spectrum.

Eradicate autism and you eradicate many of our more intelligent members of society.

Autism is a side of the coin in human genetics, not a disease. It is a gift of our diversity that not all of us think the same way or conform. It gives us an evolutionary advantage even if it makes you seem at a disadvantage due to the rigid, cookie cutter expectations of the modern world. Autism has always been part of us, it just didn't become a "problem" until billionaires needed wage slaves that were efficient little drones who fell in line.

That is how I do it yes. As much as feasibly possible. I do really miss the local PC shops and electronics stores.. sadly my options for that stuff now are Staples, Best Buy and Amazon...

Unfortunately rich and developed countries with an iron grip on the markets by a few billionaires that control them you see. They ensure our options are limited.

Canadians have very limited choices in terms of services. Even our grocery store shelves are bought out by major corps and local options struggle to get their products on the shelves.

As another example, our banks have no interpayment systems outside the interac system, and they have no standard apis for payment services. So things like apps for managing budgets involve downloading a csv after our billing date passes and a lot of manual work. Most banks offer their own budget apps and they only work with their services.

We have effectively have 3 phone and internet providers.. or little guys that resell access to the big 3.

The monopoly man won the game in Canada.

Getting money to organizations outside Canada and the US, once you remove credit cards and paypal, is exclusive to wire transfer from within Canada. If i want to get my money to any entity outside of Canada those are my options. None of these alt payment providers exist in Canada, and we are barred from buying crypto from our accounts.

JCB seems like the Interac system here in Canada, which I doubt Steam would take payment from. Its essentially a bank transfer. Nope, apparently JCB is a Credit Card company like Visa et al.

Yeah, JCB is not available in the Americas

What country are you in? None of those options exist in Canada so I think you're going to need to reframe your point.

Also I can state that giftcards do not exist where I live as I just went though 4 kids birthdays and check 20 different stores and winded up having to give up on Steam cards and buy prepaid Visas.

EDIT: To clarify, two years ago the cards existed. Last year they were scarce, and in 2025 they are no where to be found.

What are those other options you have anyway? I've never seen or heard of any of them.

How else are you supposed to buy something on Steam? You just listed every available option.

Yeah my wife has MS and I worry when shes late that she is having trouble. And I go hiking in the bush so its good if she has my approximate location

We switched to Fairphones running e/OS so we have pretty solid control of that. Im looking forward to postmarketOS being a bit more stable.

Mostly unaffected save for some things. Emberstack kubernetes reflector opts to not make their own chart and their docs tell you to use Bitnami, so its the only chart I use that I'll have to start maintaining myself unless Emberstack changes their stance.

Yep., this is accurate. I also need to not move and not have change but also move and have change. I want to socialize but I'm exhausted by socializing and often want to exist in a quiet dark hole in the basement or out in the forest away from people.

I confuse myself.

My take is that the fediverse is wholesome. Today's news isn't but that is our current reality and the topics on a social network will always cover current events.

But when you really pay attention to the people here, they are wholesome. And if what you see is a lot of terrible people in your feed, start watching the instances they are coming from. Frequently the difference between a good and bad experience here is how well you curate your feed and how well your instance is moderated.

Why you gotta do Yaphit like that?

I never thought I would have a healthy relationship with ASD+ADHD. I found someone who is my equal and we have an extremely fulfilling relationship that's full of both amazing fun moments and frustrating ones, but we always understand each other. Which helps with our son as well, as he's a carbon copy of us.
