Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to contribute your knowledge. I appreciate it.

Treat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It’s angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don’t forget that.

As some said on Slashdot: ART is Asshole Research Transport.

If you read the book(s), you’ll get the reference.

No, this is real. An iPhone to kids is like a social status symbol and potential family wealth indicator. Of course it’s absolute bull, but just as adults are, kids are horribly manipulated by marketing and advertising too. Kids have glommed onto phones for conspicuous consumption whereas adults glom onto cars and houses for said signals.

Of course not all adults or kids do this, but a great deal do. That’s where the stupid bumper sticker comes from that says, “He who has the most toys at the end wins!” Very ugly stuff, in my opinion. And if there is a devil, that’s where it lives mostly.

Todo.txt plain text file. Use Vim. Date and todo statement. Sometimes more for explanations. I never delete anything in it; just make an X next to todo’s I’ve completed. File goes back many years. I can easily search for something I did a long time ago.

And then there’s MS OneNote for capturing howto’s, quick script one-liners, cheat sheets, diagrams, notes on various industry interfaces, etc.

Then there’s SCM for bug, feature, and track tasking.

And usually notepad paper and pen for meetings, which if there are todo’s, go into my electronic todos.txt file.

Do you? I’ve tried. Not fun. I use vim everyday on my workstation. On Android tiny keyboard, hard pass.

I see. I switched from emacs to vim years ago and now I’ve forgotten most of the key chords in emacs. Nevertheless, seems like an awful way to edit files on a small android device. I tried vim for android and it was quite challenging. Not something I want to repeat.

I am aware of that route. But I’m looking for a text editor that will do it. You know, select some rows, click tools->sort. Seems easy enough.

No, looking for a text editor. Seems simple enough and it’s very useful.

My question is regarding Android apps. I thought that was implied by the community name. My apologies for the confusion.

No, sorting text in the document. Sort all lines in document.

Seconded.

I’d also discourage just picking news from the center. You’ll miss a lot, as understanding the left viewpoint and right viewpoint are important for a holistic picture.

I use FairEmail. It’s very privacy focused.

They are appealing to the fallacy that hiding things means bad behavior.

Not true. There are plenty of good reasons to hide things. Social security numbers, income, bank account info, even personal preferences.

Privacy != bad

Just basic, simple talk with nurse. No details because you’ll need to repeat it all for the doc anyway.

Mine died. $12,000 to replace. It’s insane!!

It isn’t. https://jakubmarian.com/difference-between-violet-and-purple/

Purple, or violet, is a bit shorter than 400 nanometers regarding its wavelength.
