Wisconsin School Board May Silence High School Band Performance Of Trans-Linked Piece

Thanks for the in-depth review of GOS. It is definitely an adjustment in many ways, but I do think my phone usage has become more “disciplined” because things are not so accessible.

A few suggestions you might find useful:

  • Native Alpha can create web apps (eg, in place of using bank apps, etc)
  • Droid-ify app store has the option to back up or share your installed apps. F-droid does not, the last I checked.
  • HeliBoard is definitely the best keyboard; customizable, smooth
  • Joplin: great notes app

If all else fails, there is the Aurora app store for apps that you absolutely cannot replace and need from the Play Store. I had to do this for Outlook and a 2FA app for work, but just made a separate “Work” profile on the phone to separate everything.

Yeah, I agree with that philosophy. Like someone else said, there are many ways to go about security. I guess I’m just looking for leads on what others have seen as worthwhile, and then try to understand those before I do them.

A hidden brain signal may reveal Alzheimer’s long before diagnosis

5mon 6d ago in science from www.sciencedaily.com

In his book “Why We Sleep,” Mathew Walker explained that Alzheimer’s detection via EEG monitoring during sleep was a major reason he decided to switch to studying sleep 20 years ago. He was trying to originally study diseases like Alzheimer’s and found that there was not much information on why identification on EEG was detectable before symptoms occurred, such as forgetting items’s locations.

I wonder if this is along the same lines, like a wider variety of EEG signal detection, clearer or more accurate diagnosis, or something entirely different. It looks like subjects were still awake but in a restful state, so maybe testing also does not require as much time as a full sleep study.

Introducing Taskpony!

Thanks for the thorough response. That makes sense to not reinvent the wheel for syncing and keeping things simple. And yeah, I suppose using the same Task Pony instance would work for sharing.

Thanks again for making something useful and free for the world.

It looks nice. I like the clean interfaces. I am slowly working toward self hosting and found it surprising difficult to find a task organizer as well. One big hurdle is having something that can also sync with my wife’s list, such as a grocery list, so we don’t both buy the food item.

I don’t know much about coding. Does a syncable list require a lot of time and effort? Is that something you would consider adding eventually?

For what it’s worth, I know someone personally that is a genuinely kind person and a local police officer. He told me at some point that he had been diagnosed with Aspergers and I was a bit surprised. He might be an outliner or something, but he does a better job of being fair than most of the typical police encounters that I know of.

Sofi or Openbank high yield savings?

6mon 1d ago in personalfinance@lemmy.ml

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like the credit unions around me do have similar or a slight bit better rates. And I do like the idea of keeping my money more locally.

Backups of Backups

That’s a really interesting idea. That makes me think it would even be better in the sense that the data would be protected rather than risk a cloud service going out of business or changed their storage location. Not that that is a likely scenario but still.

You could try adding cardamom and/or cinnamon to change it up
