A good time to try out some of the other daily games. What’s your favorite?

WhenTaken is a recent one I really liked

I’m more familiar with a different model (venu), but none of those features required subscriptions. Part of why I keep an eye on Garmin devices is because they’re generally more privacy friendly, and it’s easier to track health data without using their app / network if you wanted to.

I found this this: https://www.garmin.com/en-CA/c/subscription-plans/

The subscriptions seem to be related to features that would rely on their network, and not workout / activity tracking:

• using cellular networks to text/call/track location without a phone
• storing photos on their servers
• SOS / inReach services

There are a few I’m not sure about, such as the Tacx cycling option or Maps+. You could double check if you wanted those things

To my knowledge I don’t think any of them do, but if you share what features you’re looking at it might give you more peace of mind when people confirm :)

Reading comments on Lemmy / Reddit mostly. I’m not looking for the top voted answer but rather the points that people mention and considering what’s important to me. If possible I also check with friends that might have purchased something similar

Overtime I’ll use Reddit less and less, given that they’re now actively telling businesses to take advantage of that effect. Old comments are still ok, but new comments are all suspect

What a mess.

I managed to get 4 about half the time

I started using this recently and it seems to work pretty well. I’d love to know more about how they pick out the topics

I felt so good about the first one since I tried it without looking anything up. The rest of them I did some research in another tab based on text in the images, or to confirm patterns such as flags

Makes me think of this classic:

almost lost that one, oops

Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

I’m not sure if I’ve seen this, is this about the pronunciation?

Lol the diagram

This could work as a meme template, similar to that Breaking Bad one

Jessie, what are you talking about

I think every 2 digits represents a word, and the number is which guess you got it on

So 3️⃣7️⃣ is the word you got on guess #37

Welcome and excited to have you here!

I miss this format

I’m not sure if this counts, but I’ve enjoyed some pieces from The Conversation. They’re detailed and written by someone who has experience in the subject

Wow nice, got the year perfectly on a few of those

Now that they mention it, I would like step-by-step instructions on how a Fierce Burrito is made
