What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about
  • Daylio has 10M+ downloads on Google Play

  • What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about
  • On Google Play, Insight Timer has 5M+ downloads and is Editors' Choice. It is not a small app, and it's constantly trying to get you to pay for premium. I have never cared about or noticed low quality audio until trying to use this app. It's been a very weird experience trying to relax and noticing how poor the recordings sound. I assume this is another upsell thing

  • What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about
  • This apps seems to be poorly rated. What has your experience been?

    There seems to be little information online about the organization who runs it, Exchange Initiative. They have an inactive Facebook account and an abandoned website. I don't see myself using this without having more assurance on its efficacy and privacy policies

  • Where can I find the highest quality episodes of Mr.Bean?
  • I watched a YouTube video several years ago that discussed how Mr. Bean live streams and compilations have flooded YouTube despite the original series not being that long. I can't find the video because the search results are indeed flooded with these

  • ‘Time is now’ to step up efforts for Ukraine peace, says Germany’s Scholz
  • I listened to an interview recently, I believe on BBC, where the interviewee said the biggest issue with peace talks is that the international community isn't able to trust Putin to keep his word on whatever is agreed upon. I hadn't considered that, but it makes a lot of sense and I'm not sure how that could change

  • Can you make a short story with autocorrect?
  • I feel like moderation is a failure point can't be overstated enough that one goes into my control at all since that's when I use any water

  • Proton Drive warning: don't reinstall
  • Yes, that's correct

  • Proton Drive warning: don't reinstall

    A few months ago I installed Proton Drive on my new PC. It started having issues so I sent it back in for repair. I uninstalled Proton Drive then deleted my files for privacy.

    Last week I installed Proton Drive again. To my surprise, it scrambled all of my files locally and remote. All my root folders were deleted and my root is now filled with "Delete conflict" files and folders.

    I reported this to Proton immediately. After giving them my logs and details support told me...

    • This is expected: "Proton Drive is designed to synchronize ALL changes, even after long periods of not syncing"
    • No rollback is possible: "Please note that we are unable to revert this behavior. You will have to restore the files manually"
    • They plan to address this: "Regardless, we will absolutely be making improvements to avoid such problems in the future."

    For me I have about 100 files to address, which is manageable, but for others I'm sure this would be a showstopper. The delete conflicts don't have version history either, so I have to figure out how to weave everything back together.

    What are some financial life-hacks everyone should know?
  • What if you own your home?

  • alt. youtube frontend
  • Odysee is not a YouTube front end, is a hot spring for hate content and misinformation, was financially mismanaged, and was recently sold for parts to a blockchain company whose primary goal is bolstering its own blockchain

  • Best podcast player that's preferably open source, for Windows?
  • Pocket Casts is great and open source

  • As Wells Drop in Rural Arizona, Groundwater Remains Unregulated
  • Climate Town just made a video on this topic: Who's Taking America's Water?

  • Cori Bush, ‘Squad’ Member and Vocal Critic of Israel, Loses Her Primary
  • A local political commentator put out this scathing review of her voting record and spending. Curious what other folks think about it because it seems pretty damming

  • Do you have any recommendations for an opensource mood tracking app?
  • I would trust Pixels over Daylio any day, but it's not open source. Solo dev

  • Who the hell is MrBeast?
  • I tried watching a video of his once because I was genuinely interested in the subject. There were so many jump cuts it was unwatchable. Now I know all YouTube videos for kids are like that

  • Nikki Haley voters PAC announces support for Kamala Harris
  • That's a fair stance. But practically I don't know what "Trumpism" will look like if he continues to not be in office. From my perspective it's been a bit frozen in time since losing in 2020. Until the campaign ratcheted up, I didn't know what he was saying or his position on current political affairs. So time and relevancy seems to be working against him, at least his direct influence. And if he dies I think there will be a lot of in-fighting when it comes to "What Would Trump Do" and will probably morph into something new altogether

  • what tips do you have to survive job hunting?
  • RE: #2

    When interviewing try to show genuine interest in the job and research to ask good questions. Care about it in the moment, then try to emotionally disconnect afterwards

  • Nikki Haley voters PAC announces support for Kamala Harris
  • IMO most pro-Haley support was inherently anti-Trump. That's essentially what her campaign boiled down to, and I suspect she sincerely thought he will lose. If so, she'll be well-positioned for another run, assuming two Trump losses will be seen as a death nail to his support (which might not occur, who knows, he could very well run again in delusion)

  • Seeking advice on app locking with physical device unlocking

    Hi, I'm wanting to set up app locking on my Pixel 4a with only a physical device to unlock them. Preferably something keychain-able.

    Here are some options I've looked into and considering:

    • Bluetooth device with...
      • separate Android profile + Smart Lock
      • AppLock - Fingerprint app
        • this is the only app of this type I found that supports Bluetooth
    • NFC tag with...
      • some app locker app, though I haven't been able to find one that supports NFC
      • Tasker (related how-to)

    Here are some options I've looked into and not considering:

    • USB-C security key
      • would prefer a wireless option to not wear out the phone's port
    • Unpluq
      • I don't like subscriptions
    • Smart Lock doesn't support NFC anymore (request to bring it back)

    Notes:

    • I actually have an old Google Bluetooth Titan Security Key, but it doesn't seem to work with Smart Lock. It doesn't let me add it as a trusted device despite being successfully paired. I think it might operate on Bluetooth Low Energy.
    • Seems like NFC might be better than Bluetooth for my purposes since I wouldn't have to worry about battery life.
    • I don't know what Bluetooth device might work best for this purpose. I believe products like Tile also work on Bluetooth Low Energy.
    • Any recommendations on NFC tags? Seems like Etsy might be good to get something somewhat customizable and better looking than the blank chips I've seen listed online.

    Happy to hear anything you have to share on this topic!
