Almost done preparing the @loops Android APK!
While we'll target the Google Play Store for Android users, I would love to also support F-Droid with the goal to get into @IzzyOnDroid
That means I'll have to open source the mobile app, but that is already a goal
Laugh all you want, there are few open source TikTok alternatives because few see beyond monetization and when removed, you are left with pure creativity and community-driven content.
Excited to see what we'll build together!
The APK is currently 34MB, but I can slim that down further.
It was over 160MB earlier this evening 😅
Grass is pretty amazing.
I was out at the farm, doing the regular fall chores and prepping beds for garlic, when my glasses lens fell out. The screw is, of course, gone. But I need my glasses to drive. Enter a natural material that's abundant, strong, flexible and able to hold a knot.
It got me home. Thanks, grass.

#eyegrasses Day 4 update
(To be read in the voice of German filmmaker Werner Hertzog)
At first, I found the blade of grass to be a simple solution to a problem. A satisfying answer to a question asked by circumstance. Then it became, I admit, something of an amusement. That was a fool's error. Now it is not me who laughs at the grass, but the grass which laughs cruelly at me. It sees me, and by extension all of humanity, stripped of our modern contrivances, naked before it, and it mocks us.
The end of an era. On September 24, I used a blade of fresh grass to temporarily mend my glasses after one of the screws fell out in a hay field. I just hoped it would last the day.
Today, 39 days later, it finally started to slip, and I put a metal screw back into the hole. Thank you, blade of grass. You served me incredibly well. Amazing stuff, grass.

Welcome to the RB family, Soul Searching 🥳

Soul Searching is an offline music application for Android 8 and above. It's a rework of the native mobile application Sweet Music using Jetpack Compose.
This was quite a journey fighting compression algorithms (Fedora using zlib-ng instead of zlib), but thanks to joint efforts and hard work of the author (thanks entername74!), it was finally made RB 
Btw: 313 apps / 26% now 😉

When you visit somewhere exotic, is there a standard souvenir that you try to buy, to remind you of that place? Stickers, lapel pins, spoons, beer mats, tea towels, postcard books?
For me it's dictionaries. This turned out to be not so wise a choice when I visited six European countries in 2015.

I must not trust polls.
Polls are the mind-killer.
Polls are the little-deaths that bring both false hope and false doom.
I will ignore the polls.
I will permit them to pass over me and through me.
And when they have gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see their path.
Where the polls have gone there will be nothing.
Only votes will remain.
Or something.

I absolutely loved this book for several reasons. First, it's a fact that many Doctor Who episodes of this era were simpler compared to many of the newer stories. I've always wanted to see a story with the first Doctor that was a bit more complex than what we got in the TV series and this book definitely does this, with time travel paradoxes being the central theme and how changes to history can create alternate timelines.
One of the things that has always annoyed me about Doctor Who, whether we're talking about the TV series, audio dramas or the books, is that no matter how interesting the plot is when the story starts out it more often than not winds up being about some alien being or race intent on taking over the planet/galaxy,universe, etc. You have such a broad canvas to work with, a series about an alien who can travel anywhere in time and space, and it often deals with yet another alien invasion. Don't get me wrong; I love a good Dalek or Cybermen story as much as any Whovian and I'm not saying this concept should be done away with. However, the stories which don't deal with an alien invasion are always memorable and refreshing to me and "the Time Travelers" is one such book, without a single menacing alien anywhere to be found. There are exceptions with references to a certain alien race taking up residence on a portion of Earth in an alternate timeline but this is hardly dealt with and I somehow missed it during my reading of the novel.
We also have a tasteful and reallistic exploration of Ian and Barbara's relationship, something which was not explored on the TV series but which was definitely acknowledged on a Big Finish audio. There's also a brief exploration of the fact that Susan is an alien and a certain aspect of her alien nature is briefly explored. This book, along with listening to some of the missing first Doctor TV stories, has given me a renewed appreciation of the original Doctor, along with the original companions.
Parts of the book did confuse me and, on occasion, I would pause and say, "OK, so what just happened?" However, that's OK; it was nice to have such weird and complex action dealing with alternate timelines in a first Doctor novel and I still highly recommend this book. I wish we had more first Doctor stories like this one.

Veo que algunes os estáis planteando hacer las mochilas 72h.
Así que si os parece vamos hablando de ello.
Yo no soy experta, pero hacerlas me ayuda a saber qué es lo importante en un emergencia y no quedarme corriendo como pollo sin cabeza por la casa.
Ayuda a manejar la ansiedad, y pasar de preocuparse a ocuparse.
