I enjoy red meat, but I avoid it most of the time because of trying to be healthier. Also guilt from seeing videos of happy cows looking like gigantic dogs.

Fucking shit though I had no idea coffee was so high up the list. I probably should drink less of it anyway, but ouch, that one hurt me way more than the beef.

This could literally kill you. You should stop using them immediately. Sensationalist headlines are rapant, but this is a serious problem worth getting attention over.

Baby gates. Baby gates everywhere.

Also thats a weird toddler lock. Ours you have to push and hold a button to activate it and it wont run until you push and hold something else.

When I click this link Fdroid says “no such app found”, and it doesnt appear when I search. What gives?

FYI - nitrile gloves aren’t for everything, and have different breakthrough times for different chemicals. Some chemicals may need to be handled with latex, vinyl, polyethelene, or otherwise. Some manufacturers of lab gloves will have charts depicting which gloves to use when handling various materials like alcohol vs acetone etc, but you can also reach out and ask them whats best for your situation. I think if you are itching like that this is worth looking into because they aren’t protecting you like they should. Some people will even develop a sensitivity after awhile - something that didn’t bother me before now gives me a rash when I handle it.

Can jesus microwave a burrito so hot that even he couldn’t eat it?

I lucked out and my banking app is fine too. Weirdly its the wifi garage door opener which came with my house that refuses to work. I took it offline and am back to a remote now. I may replace it someday when I finally get home assistant going.

I am not an expert.

Many many apps rely on google play services to function, basically for most of the data fetching, push notifications, authentications, etc. Disabling it will break those apps as a result. Since your data is fed through those services you cannot maintain privacy from google without doing so.

So yes, you should disable google play for privacy, but you will need to find replacement apps in many cases.

Graphene does a thing where it “sandboxes” google play services, preventing it from grabbing unnecessary data like your real time location telemetry. I think this lets you use those apps that need it, but they will still get some of your data where thats being used. Banking apps are notorious for needing it for authentication, but you can easily use a different map app like magic earth to avoid google services for other needs.

I’m still exploring this and learning so those are just examples I know of. Not sure how much else this will break if you aren’t using graphene to manage it.

I am wary of ever recommending to completely block or avoid updates. Generally this means opening yourself up to security concerns.

Starcraft - alt and ctrl are frequently used, easy slip to make in a rush. Pretty sure there was an override in the options menu specifically for preventing this.

I gotta say its shocking that powerpoint is your go to for image editing like that. Like, its kind of impressive but wow that seems like a super difficult way to do it.

Its sort of a thing. Pine phones use open source linux. I think the main problem is development of apps to run on a linux phone isn’t popular so its pretty bare bones as a system. Havent used one myself though.

Its not click bait, its a great layman’s terms explanation of the app and what it does. This is the kind of article I would send to my parents who are basically tech illiterate when this topic inevitably arises. It also clarifies points that were poorly reported by other outlets, which is necessary to call out, especially in our current informational climate.

Different industry for me, but we just call this professional development. As long as whatever is being read or studied can be related to improving your value to the company, performance at the job, or even learning to perform another job at the company, its not only allowed but encouraged. This of course comes with the caveat that you still need to get all your work done, which it sounds like you do. If anyone hassled me I would just say “this is part of my professional development” and that would be the end of it. I even enter this stuff in my performance reviews, and at my prior job it was expected to have something (and they would budget for me to take a training or class, typically of my choosing).

Theres always money in the banana stand!

Great idea. I will never buy from amazon so filtering that out automatically would be fantastic when looking for products

The number of times I’ve been directed to a useless discord chat while looking for help on a topic is infuriating. Can’t wait for this shit to stop.

Dammit but I thought I was as young as I feel!

Wait… That’s still old. Shit.

Freetaxusa.com does pretty much what turbo tax does. Federal filing for free, pretty sure they just charge $15 for state. If your taxes are too complex for freetaxusa you probably shouldn’t use turbo tax anyway.

Or Access, which is the real reason my office will never switch. It’s an ever growing mountain of labor to transfer that to something else

You are right, I had it a little backward. The e foundation makes /e/OS, and they sell a murena fairphone 5 with the OS preinstalled. So you can get a fairphone thay way, or just install it yourself.
