E-Bikes

I plan to go riding in a few minutes. I want to get in a ride for it might be the only one I get to enjoy today. We are attending a celebration of life for an old girlfriend and many decades good friend. I first flirted with her as she waited for her bus when we were in the seventh grade. I used my line of "do you have a cousin that looks like you that lives in Oklahoma City" She hadn't heard that one before lol. A great person and a genuine loss to many. The celebration is this afternoon and an hour or so from my location.

Googleproof camera

These freaks at Cricket have somehow managed to shut down dev ops. What that has to do with customer loyalty I don't know. That's about the first thing I would do too. Meanwhile, is there some kind of camera apk that cannot be messed with by goo?
Opencamera non profit over all, very excellent quality when taking any type of photographs, unlimited settings.... wink wink. Found on f-droid.

Gboard sneaking in again

shizuku is similar to having superuser or root in certain instances.

the above combination basically works like a work profile, and uninstalling undeaireable apps from the users profile

one of the more interesting things i have seen now is that shizuku can allow the use of a non root firewall app without the need of using the VPN service on a device

this leaves the option open so that you can run a VPN and a firewall at the same time.

a firewall can still be very useful for controlling internet access for undesireable apps if they absolutely cannot be eliminated altogether

Fatalities - 2026

John Anderson, who had a distinctive voice (in more ways than one) and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2024, has died at 71. He just attended a Hall of Fame ceremony a few days ago, and no cause of death was noted. He did suffer from an unusual and unidentified illness starting back in 2016.

RIP, Mr. Anderson, and thanks for sharing your talents. Condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

Heart Trauma Recovery

I saw my primary care doctor today. He took the time to go over the data from the recent labs. If I could get my heart in better shape, the rest of me seems to be healthy. He liked the new meds my cardiologist prescribed. He shares the optimism that the BP med, Sacubitril-valsartan (commonly known by the brand name Entresto), will significantly improve my ejection fraction. My cardi simply said I would feel much better. One way or another, I was glad that the rest of me is hanging in there.
