Thank you for sharing this. While everyone remembers his writings, encouragement, and contributions to tech/business, the photos put up by him are beautiful as well.
I'm in the process of migrating from Evernote to Joplin, doing a careful migration by individual notebooks (with a total of 19,959 notes in Evernote).
So far it has been reasonably painless; for example, I have a few Evernote features to work out how to manage, such as text searches on scanned images.
I had tried a number of other tools (Obsidian, Loqseq, Notion, Bear, Apple Notes) and Joplin seems to fit my use cases the best.
You can upload the activity via PC: the FIT files are directly accessible via USB mass storage in the "Activity" directory.
This allows you to upload FIT files to cloud-based services such as Strava to see your running stats, or into a PC-based application to do the same locally.
But now it's kinda obvious they only did this as ammo in preparation for today's announcement. I sincerely do hope they continue to add new features, there is a huge stack of requests and ideas still waiting in their support forums.
No, they did it because they lost entire years following ill-advised growth fantasies into nonexisting markets where every yoga session, every treadmill workout would somehow be a "Strava moment" and that would magically pay their bills. They completely neglected their incredibly successful (within scope) but not quite profitable core business. A few months ago they switched to salvage mode, going through those years of accumulated backlog at dangerous speed. And now this, it's just a sign of desperation. It certainly shares the cause with the changes before but I wouldn't call one the buildup for the other.
Hands down the best summary of what seems to be going on I've seen.
I vaguely remember new features some 5+ years ago, or promises of fixing issues (that are still there), but that had stopped and all we got was a social-network-like feed. One would think with the data they have Metro would be able to profit from free users, but I guess not?

This exactly -- of all the magazines I subscribe to, Make has (had?) the worst subscription department by far. It was surprising given how important a subscriber base is.
I work at festivals from time to time. Listening to 10-33 reminds me of having the staff radio tuned to the medical channel when I am off duty at 4am. I immediately thought of it when I read the headline!
