  • Lol. It’s true!

    My first kid only got premium organic kale crackers for snacks.

    My second kid is allowed to eat anything they find, including on the floor, within reason.

    First kid had to be dressed nice, for fear others would judge me.

    Second kid, I know everyone is judging me, but this is an important developmental moment happening, and we’re not stopping for socks.


  • As it is significant risk for me to install different OS

    I used to be really anxious about it, but after installing GrapheneOS or LineageOS on many devices (I started doing it for friends who asked), they’re all humming along nicely

    The way I got comfortable enough to do the first one was upgrading my previous phone right after replacing it. Of course I found that the older phone running free software was more responsive and had better battery life. (Funny how not running crapware helps!)

    Experiencing that difference was enough to tempt me to put a cleaner operating system on all my new phones immediately, going forward.

    In the meantime, there’s strong evidence that getting rid of random apps substantially improves privacy. May as well go for it.

    But, of course, getting rid of Google apps is still the elephant in the privacy nightmare room until it’s done.
