A couple of favorites that are different from what others already said:

  • I strongly dislike autorotate on my phone so I always keep it off, however it makes perfect sense in apps like YouTube/Twitch. So I have one task that turns it on when opening one of those apps, and off again when closing them
  • When I've got Bluetooth headphones, I can choose to have incoming texts read out to me. Very nice when walking/running outside and not needing to pull my phone out
  • Similarly, I've got a task that will (optionally) read out the name of the song that's playing to Bluetooth

Buzzkill is very nice. I'm in a group chat that gets huge bursts of activity (like a hundred messages) and then goes dormant for a bit, so I set buzzkill to only give me at most 1 notification every 30 minutes, and keep the rest of them silent. That way I can still keep up with it without my phone blowing up

Still very cool to think about

And thank you for the app link, if I ever get flexible enough hours I wonder if that sleep schedule would help my somewhat unhealthy relationship with sleep

Reminds me of https://neal.fun/speed/

But that does position rather than rotation

I would absolutely go to this event

Well shit. That hit deep.

Thank you.

Haven't tried it personally, but this might work: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox

Basically, instead of creating a fedora distrobox and installing davinci resolve in there, this is a pre built image that has all the dependencies and such ready to go.

Ooo and there's even a serious looking page "explaining" it as the first result when looking it up on Google

I'm definitely stealing this idea

I have no idea, but that would be pretty cool

The PDF multitool I've been using is Stirling-pdf, which has support for adding/removing passwords

Funny enough, I also learned about this tool from a previous edition of this newsletter haha

I let syncing run in the background all the time, the app has a ton of settings to configure when it runs so it respects battery/data usage

Android reports the app has used less than 1% of my battery in the last 19 hours
