  • My husband had it.

    We never bought meat to use at home anyways, so in that aspect nothing really changed.

    However it was kinda cumbersome when invited by other people, especially since we live in a backwards place where people consume meat daily. E.g. grandmas kept cooking red meat despite me trying to explain it multiple times and getting offended when he didn’t eat it.
    Oftentimes my husband would just eat a bit of it anyways and then spend the evening in the toilet throwing up, just to avoid the strange drama that telling people you can’t eat meat causes.

    That’s also how we figured out it goes away, since the doctor made it sound like it would be permanent. But eating the bit started to get less bad and then eventually stopped causing any issues. Now he can eat anything people serve again, which is saving us a lot of headache and drama.









  • I used a similar service called lifesum (also not foss) a few years ago to successfully lose 10kg. I used the free version.
    However at the start I briefly tired both but decided against yazio because the data they asked for was extremely intrusive.

    First thing to note is that all of these apps overestimate the calories you should eat by a lot.
    They told me I could eat 1700 calories per day to lose weight but I was eating about 1600 calories before and gained weight.
    I went to a doctor to get my more accurate calorie requirements which was 1400 calories to maintain weight and 1200 to lose weight (I have an illness that affects my metabolism). I’d recommend doing the same if you can.

    Next thing is that the catalogue they use for items is filled by people and thus can be inaccurate. I recommend scanning the barcode and then still manually calculate the values and comparing both for every new product. If it is off you can make your own entry.

    For products that don’t have barcodes I usually pick the ones that are exaggerating the nutrients. Like one listing for egg will say 60 and the other will say 90, I’ll pick the 90 one.

    Also keep in mind some products have different values for cooked and uncooked, like rice, be sure to pick the one you weighted.

    You’ll only need the app for a little while since you’ll develop the ability to calculate the calories effectively enough in your head after a bit.


  • Produkte die in Körperöffnungen gesteckt werden können aus hygienischen Gründen nicht getestet werden.
    Auch Tester für so etwas gestalten sich schwierig da man die meisten Earbuds nicht einfach reinigen und desinfizieren kann. Und welches Geschäft will extra jemanden abstellen der den ganzen Tag nur Tester desinfiziert.

    Bei einem Geschäft dass so etwas zulässt würde ich ehrlich gesagt auch nichts kaufen, klingt nach einem guten Weg sich eine Entzündung oder einen Pilz zu holen.

    In der Theorie könntest du sie bei Amazon bestellen und notfalls zurück schicken, die Retouren bei so etwas werden dann meistens eingeschmolzen. Ist aber mit Blick auf die Umwelt ziemlich unschön.

    Also I think you have a bit of a warped view on what an os update entails for Android devices, maybe because your only comparison is the iPad.

    iPads need updates because it’s the only way they can receive bug fixes and new features. On android even system apps can be updated via the play store, and new features can be added to your device via play services without even restarting, you’ll just get a random info one day that says “your device can now do this or that”. (Unless you go without play service ofc).

    OS updates for the last few years have just been pretty forgettable stuff (like I can’t even remember one single feature they added with Android 14, I think it was just new clock fonts?)

    I don’t think any manufacturer offers more than 5 years os updates. Normally you will still get security updates afterwards but I don’t know if there is any way to see how long exactly beforehand.
    If you install lineage or some other rom it would not matter anyways what the official support is. But someone needs to take the time to port it to your device, so the more popular of a device you choose the more likely it is to get ports longer.

    Generally I’d recommend looking at what hardware of a popular device fits your needs (size, budget, pen etc) and then just looking at xda to see what roms are available and how easy the flashing process is.

    I don’t understand what you mean by saying you don’t want the software bricked in 5 years. You mean bricking while flashing a rom? Usually that’s easy to recover. I don’t think I’ve heard of many people bricking a device unrecoverably lately.



  • Rotation of an image is stored in the exif data.
    When you take an image with your phone in a non upright position the phone will rotate the picture to look like you expect it and write into the exif data.
    But the image itself will still be the way it was taken, meaning the data of the image itself is unaltered.

    Usually when you send the picture or upload it software will read the exif data and display the image accordingly (rotated). But some sites or some software will ignore or strip the exif data and display the image how it originally looks (non-rotated).
