I got tired of Samsung’s OneUI interface, and have moved back to Baldphone, a very simplistic home screen that is designed for old folks like me. It has everything though,: even, if you want, its own easier replacements for the main apps needed to interface with a phone. (I don’t use most of those.) Completely libre and free. Comes with video tutorials on how to use it.

Automattic

1,500 people. 70 countries. No office. Millions of documented words. Most companies would call this chaos. We call it Tuesday. Here’s how #Automattic turned distributed work into a communication culture that actually scales.
When you start to read the linked article, though, you learn
Quick coordination happens on Slack, project planning on Linear, code on GitHub, and real-time sync on Zoom. For drafting together we still use Google Docs, though collaborative editing is coming natively to WordPress soon.
How to fix a fridge
After a power outage lasting for several hours, while the electric company installed some new high tension wires to the village, our refrigerator stopped working. Since we are in a period of religious holidays, I called the company responsible for servicing Sharp products quickly, but they could only give me a date for October 16. It would be hard to live without a fridge for two weeks in the climate of the Middle East, so my wife called a repairman known to our daughter. He too said that he would be unable to come in the coming days, but gave a suggestion: Leave it unplugged with the doors open for several hours and “it should work again.” Rather skeptically, I followed his suggestion and, guess what: the fridge works again, just as before. We should pay the man for the consultation.
