This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.

If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use "Doggy Time" by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.

Perhaps we will be to our descendents as the first tetrapods are to us.

Not the worst thing to happen to a species, seems to happen to all of them.

I got a great new story once these clicks dry up: "Expensive disposable fork thrown out a little earlier than forecasted"

I'm not a fan of Elon but low Earth orbit satellites by nature are meant to de-orbit. Yes they cause astronomy light pollution but cannot cause Kessler syndrome since their orbit is temporary from the start. Being so low there is atmospheric drag, which sometimes slows objects more than predicted.

Making news of this is like being shocked that infrastructure undersea cables and communication lines are falling apart and being replaced. It's a fact of life.

Why should these things be free? The other things we get for free on the web are either supported by donations or they harvest something from you that's valuable and sell it, that's not free either.

I'm into the idea of paying for higher quality services and have enjoyed my kagi trial. Might see if I can find someone to split an account with.

If it's not annoying I could probably use a spare old phone exclusively for android auto. But unfortunately I'm still entrenched in Google services. Slowly dragging myself out.

I'm still desperately in love with android auto. I'd still need a phone with full android permissions and functionality. So graphene is still out.

That's really cool they smoothed the install process like that. Might try that on my old pixel as a travel phone.

I understand one can flash a pixel. I never want to install another rom again though. I want to buy it and have it become my daily driver with android auto and communication apps within a few hours. I have found the ROM scene to be an enormous time commitment that I no longer want to fiddle with.

I have the same experience. I find somehow the call blocking is more robust on Samsung. I had no idea that they even had that feature parity.

The perception of Samsung being full of bloat is a misnomer. Can't get rid of lots of Google apps on the pixel and can't change the photo gallery app or the camera app.

I have my own Cloud and don't want to use Google's, and Samsungs software was much more receptive in me de-googling the phone the way I wanted to with my own self hosted photo backup software.

Also I don't have a hand warmer for a phone now.

Yes! It's much nicer than fdroid.

Thirsty dog speaks the truth.

I'll take one

I definitely prefer premium over my personal data being the product for "free".

As I get older I'm appreciating paid electronic services and content when done responsibly in exchange for a private ad-free and well done experience. But it's taking a lot to get over my decades of conditioning assuming everything on a computer and internet should be "free".

I've enjoyed my kagi premium search trial and seeing the prices is a bit much. But getting really good search results and having the webpage or search run so fast and seeing my ad blocker greyed out because there were no ads and trackers to block is surreal this day and age.

I just wish we had a better way of trusting telegram. The only thing encrypted by default is secret chats. I'd buy premium if it made all chats including group chats started by the user encrypted by default.
