Would be foolish not to say Ayuso is the top favourite. Looking forward to Landa and O'Connor. Also expecting much from De Plus and Van Eetvelt!

I was looking around Lemmy to see if there were any live threads/discussions about the cycling races, like there is on Reddit, and I kinda miss it here. It's nice to follow the race like this and catch up while at work. Never hosted anything like this so I wouldn't know where or how to start, but would be nice if someone with some experience could (co-)host something like this! Cheers from Belgium!

edit: added "cycling" to the title to avoid confusion

We should shame people that promote BlueSky more (lemm.ee)

Especially when they promote and use it out of "moral motivation" to "fight against twitter/big tech". You're still using a platform owned by one company. They're not really decentralized. There's nothing stopping them to go down the same path twitter did. They're funded by some questionable investors... Or, to quote something I recently read: "BlueSky is decentralized in the same way Total Energies is a green company."

Fight big tech, yes, but know which platforms to use. And to counter all "but Mastodon etc. are boring": the more people making the shift to the fediverse, the less boring it gets.

Edit to add: "shame" might be a heavy choice of words, but I don't know another term haha (English not a first language and all that)

Observing American politics feels really strange at the moment (lemm.ee)
 

As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.

On one side, it's very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it's scary. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.

Americans, how do you cope? What's your take on the situation?

Tips for installing brakes on flared handlebar (lemm.ee)
 

As the title says! I have a fixie and after a period of riding brakeless, it's time to install a front brake again. Mainly because I use it for endurance/audax as well and I'm not doing that brakeless. I don't have a death wish yet... For balance, looks and grip, I'm installing a lever on either side (Tektro RL520, nothing too fancy shmancy). I have flared drop bars, and I'm figuring out how to properly mount these. Anybody has some tips? Thanks!
