I’m not quite certain what you mean either, but I’ve been very happy with NextRSS that could be installed in my Hetzner-hosted Nextcloud instance. Granted, I use it through the Android app, but of course it has a web UI as well.

Not all (any?) of the free Nextcloud hosts allow installing the news app/extension though.

There’s really strong diminishing returns in healthcare. Improve hygiene, chop away obvious cancer, a dozen other simple types of surgery, and basic meds in obvious cases? Stuff like that probably gets you 60% to where contemporary best practice is, for 5% of the cost. Autonomous LLM doctors would fit in great here.

And in developed countries, a medically trained LLM as a “second opinion” is IMHO an excellent use case of the technology. Provided the doctors managed to maintain medical thinking, keep up to date with their own knowledge, and bother to look into patient histories to the same degree as before. Which is a big if, they’re only human too.

It’s very similar, part of the “threadiverse”, Fediverse services intended for Reddit-like UIs, like Lemmy and kbin/Mbin. Both use ActivityPub so you can read&post either on either.

They both have their pros and cons. Piefed has better moderation tools, multi-communities, and combines crossposts, among some other things; downsides, it’s written in Python which is… weird, though early metrics suggest it uses less resources. Lemmy is more established, has better app support, and is written in Rust, which, prestigious. But honestly, a lot of it comes down to community and politics.

Some of these have been for privacy and FLOSS ideology over the past 5 years, but anyway…

Fully deleted:

Windows -> Linux (mostly; have a Windows VM I don’t use and needed hubby’s Windows installation for the MSM download tool for some old phones a while back).

Instagram -> nothing

WhatsApp -> Signal, Matrix/Element, SMS (friends understood, lost some community groups and annoyed others)

LineageOS w/GAPPS -> LineageOS for MicroG -> DivestOS (RIP) -> GrapheneOS (-> trying to move to UBPorts Ubuntu Touch)

Twilio Authy -> Aegis

BitWarden -> KeePass (this one was purely because disentangling from US services and it still hurts, ❤BitWarden)

Google Maps -> Organic Maps + browser Google Maps without location

Still have but use very little:

Facebook -> nothing (marketplace and some niche old-person hobby advice)

Gmail -> Proton -> Tutanota (lingering registrations, occasionally collaboration through Google Drive)

Google Drive -> Hetzner-hosted Nextcloud (for calendar, contacts, backups, etc)

Reddit -> Lemmy -> Piefed (kept for some hobby groups I might need to ask sometime)

Youtube -> Arte, local public TV streaming (YLE Areena) (for what I first check for passive entertainment)

I absolutely adore that you looked it up, and feel seen and validated.

In addition to Polar and Suunto, Finland also has Ōura on the ring side. I tested their V1 long ago, and was impressed. The ring form seemed to allow for better measurement of heart rate to the point of reliably using HRV for “readiness” predictions, and temperature to the point of possibly being applicable for basal temperature for ovulation detection, something I doubt any watch could do as accurately simply because of form factor. Then again, I haven’t tracked progress lately.

If you are more concerned about your money and data staying in the EU than the brand, I’d also suggest a used device supported by Gadgetbridge; I used to have good luck with used Mi Bands (newer models may not work, or at least need installing the default app and digging up a code).

I got my diagnosis under a year ago, and the way I’ve intellectualised it to myself is:

I’m in the top 5-10% for scatterbrained-ness or enthusiasm, or bottom 5-10% for working memory or personal project completion.

That’s it. If I was among the 5-10% shortest people, I wouldn’t have a “height deficit disorder”, but learning some tricks would be helpful, there are tools (or in our case meds) to help, and I’d possibly need accommodations sometimes. Ideally the world would work on universal design principles and include the extremes, but unfortunately it isn’t so. Same principle applies.

I’ve got two, so I have a whole week of time to keep forgetting to refill it.

Yup. Best part, it often happens at 6 pm.

Are there any “scatterbrained to an un-funny extent” communities? There definitely should be.

JFC, this is an ADHD thing? I manage paying personal bills okay (though e-bills and automation are amazing), but sending an invoice or checking if payment has been made? What?

I just always thought my spoiled ass doesn’t really understand the value of money; that only the feeling of responsibility (or when my banking account strangely runs out, through no fault of my own) makes me pay any attention to it.

A wide-mouth food thermos was a game changer. Insert pasta, salt & hot water, remember to stir once about 1-5 minutes in. Then depending on how close to about 20 minutes in you remember it, it will be more or less a disgusting overcooked mess, but there’s no risk of burning anything!

Question about autistic friends, how do they/you feel when someone politely and moderately informed-ly disagrees with your take on the topic of choice?

Personally I love it when people question or even disagree with me, yay learning something new or a new perspective, but sometimes the intensity makes expressing disagreement or “uh, actually, that’s a common misconception but…” feel offensive.

And then you get another Thought, try to hold on to both of them, and well, you know well that works.

I desperately want to start actively practicing flute again. And to actually perform gong fu tea again and learn to make good tea with the method. Neither is boring, and great leaps of progress could be had with so little effort, but I’m just “done” with them.

Fuck. Mine is free to me through public healthcare because Nordics, yearly masks and so far one replacement included.

Have you looked into DIY versions (yes I know, project graveyard) or Chinese ones? Long ago before I had access to a “real” one, I got a BMC APAP w/ humidifier & oximeter (not needed for use) from Wish for maybe 350€, because the risk of toxic fumes felt worth it and it still works just fine, even if it smells plastic-y after non-use.

There will be a successor, there always is. And new high-resolution monochrome resin printers are more and more affordable all the time… Getting into resin printing is almost as tempting as my spouse’s “no” is firm.

Depending on how much time has passed, your old gear might have been outdated anyway, so many new shinies.

sighs at old semi-abandoned Ender3 v1 in need of tinkering

eyes all the new reasonably priced multi-filament or resin printers

If I buy it used, it means someone is willing to pay that much for a used one, it’s practically an investment!

I think my induction cooktop has over-temperature protection in case all the water had evaporated. Nothing for the oven though. I love the Instant Pot (probably other tabletop pressure cookers too) for the timers & “keep warm” function.

Strategy is phone alarms. When I remember.
