‼️ The director of Dutch military intelligence broadcast his own movements on a public Strava account for years, against his own ministry's rules. We have since identified more accounts under his name on Polarsteps and Garmin. De Volkskrant found dozens of activities by intelligence chief Vice-Admiral Peter Reesink between 2018 and 2025 tied to his Strava account: rides from the headquarters to his home address, where he parked his camper, when he went on holiday. The account went private only after the paper asked. Reesink, who warned in 2025 that Russia was growing bolder, says he forgot it existed.

something changed in how i buy software. at work, i only pick services with an official MCP (posthog over plausible). at home, same thing. i use strava because i can ask claude about my runs. i used to care about features, now I care about interacting with my data. no MCP means i have to use your UI. that's a dealbreaker now.

Well, it looks like Coach Claude might be dead, and Coach G might be entering the building. The missing link was lack of Apple Health connectivity, and no Strava connector.

One step closer to parting ways with Claude.
