Ich möchte aus vielen Gründen kein Android- oder iOS #Smartphone haben und idealerweise keine non-#freeSoftware nutzen. Und ich finde auch nicht, daß es irgendjemanden etwas angeht, wann ich wo wieviel Geld ausgebe.
Ist in Skandinavien wohl eher schwierig. hier in DE zunehmend auch.

Automatically finding other #prav users is a core feature of @prav but in the last update this functionality was broken. We missed this during testing of the update.
I just added 2000 rupees to the bounty - we will give the money raised to anyone who fixes the issues.
Would you consider increasing the bounty? Small amounts are ok too.
Did you know that #Abbott caused the deaths of seven diabetics this year?
Some of Abbott's continuous glucose monitors (ironically named the #FreeStyle #Libre 3 Plus) incorrectly reported low blood sugar — a grave & dangerous error for insulin-dependent #diabetes. I fortunately wasn't injured, but Abbott's refusal to allow public examination of the technical details of their devices is tantamount to a cover-up.

After several years, I finally found a #FreeSoftware workout timer for #Android which is comparable to my standalone timer I used for ages. Here the @fdroidorg link:
https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.deweyreed.timer.other/
It is simple, fast to configure, and fixes one of the blockers I had with other apps before: I can listen to music, and get just brief audio notification about the next interval. Over the last months I could now travel without packing a separate timer and batteries.

I started migrating from #NextCloud to #Radicale, but iOS threw a spanner in the works (turns out accountsd only checks for A and not AAAA DNS records!) I decided to go into a "half-migrated" state: pointing myself to the new instance to continue testing while leaving my partner pointing to the old one.
That caused a problem: any events we created in the meantime wouldn't be synced to the other's devices.
vdirsyncer came in super handy and enabled a three-way sync between NextCloud, Radicale and my laptop! So, despite being on two completely different #CalDAV servers, we both see exactly the same state and all updates flow through seamlessly. And, when they switch instance, it will be like nothing ever happened, despite being on different servers for a few weeks.
Thank you #openStandards and #freeSoftware!
