  • 3 rep tracking is better than 2 which is miles above 1 in my opinion. I got the Instinct 1 as a gift during the pandemic and hardly used it because it would drop reps too often to even be useful at the gym. The Instinct 2 was a decent upgrade for this in particular, but I would say the HR monitor in the Instinct 1 seemed slightly more accurate than the Instinct 2’s. I’m really happy with the Instinct 3 though. It seems like Garmin has addressed all my own complaints about the Instinct 2.

    As for sweat, buddy I’m right there with you. I have to peel clothes off after every session but both the 2 and 3 don’t seem fazed by my sweaty arms. I do try to tighten my band a notch before each session to get accurate HR and that seems to help a lot. My only advice is that if you’re going for the 3 just grab the AMOLED version unless you’re outside A LOT. I originally got the Solar and it just would not hold a charge well even if I did frequent hikes. Returned it and swapped for the AMOLED and it’s generally holding a charge for me for ~ 18d with Pulse Ox turned off. No real complaints with the 3 just that I liked the displays on the 1 and 2s more than the colorful display of the 3, but functionality-wise it’s a step above both of them

    Why are you choosing to come after me for that, when there are people in this very thread saying that they’ll use it regardless?

    I tried to answer this with my first comment

    It feels like throwing “racist” on here where it doesn’t exactly apply sort of dampens the impact of the word. But that’s just me.

    I hope I’m not coming off agressive or nothing. I’m not saying what you’re doing is entirely wrong or anything because it benefits everyone to spread knowledge especially for something like this. I really dislike that it’s made normal in Linux circles. But this meme is calling everyone that uses a fairly common term racist while you drop good history lessons on individual comments of people that don’t know better. Maybe there’s a more effective way to get your point across?

    The people that now know the meaning, but are trying to argue that it doesn’t matter, are no longer ignorant, and therefore don’t have an excuse.

    I agree, but you’re meme implies that using the term at all makes you racist

    The equivalent of this meme would be someone calling you a racist the very first time you ever used the term “gyped”. You yourself stated you didn’t know that term had racist history, so how could you have been racist?

    It’s a different situation when someone has knowledge of history and then goes on to use the term. That’s textbook bigotry and I would agree that’s also racsim, but you’re casting a much wider net with this meme encompassing everyone who uses the term knowledgable or not

    I agree with the overall message here; there’s definitely better words for customisation of a Window Manager/Desktop Environment.

    I can’t agree that everyone using that term is racist though. I doubt that everyone who uses it is doing so to discriminate or abuse another race. As proven by this thread, the history of that word isn’t exactly common knowledge in the spaces people are using it.

    “bigot” might be a better term to describe people that know the history of the word and actively refuse to change their ways. It feels like throwing “racist” on here where it doesn’t exactly apply sort of dampens the impact of the word. But that’s just me.
