I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

    “Is it true, is it kind, is it necessary?” Shoot for two but make sure it’s at least one. And if you ever by chance come across a trifecta, don’t let it escape unsaid!

    I also notice working in mental healthcare that a lot of my coworkers have realized some of the patients really do need “tough love” but they don’t realize that the Love part is critical. And it’s obviously not romantic love but also not even love in any personal sense. It’s love in the better version of the Bible sense where you should love your fellow human beings. When you say something that someone isn’t going to like hearing for their own good, you need to start with a practical statement of why you’re saying it out of love.

    So I’ll say “I don’t just want to give you ice cream today; I want you to know how to ask other people when you leave here. I’m going to give you about fifteen minutes to go to your room and breathe, then you can come back and get in line and ask again.” While some of my coworkers will just say “no I’m not gonna let you talk to me like that” which isn’t wrong, but also isn’t actually tough love because they forgot the love.

    I am super interested in this, do you know if it can track versions and support regular backups? I was actually just trying to find out if there’s a way for my phone to sync / backup my documents, pictures, and possibly even calendars and contacts with our home computer while I’m home, especially right when I get home, and maybe on a scheduled basis right before I usually leave for work. I’ve been looking into de-googling and honestly I’m wondering why a lot of my info needs to be stored in the cloud at all? Maybe one monthly or quarterly backup to an encrypted service like tresorit but for the most part I think it’ll be fine to just let my devices back themselves up with each other on my home network?

    Honestly it’s really helped me with spreadsheet formulae and more complex regex search and replace terms. And it’s so pleasant and patient about all of it. So many of those spaces are DEEPLY toxic to noobs and when I paste the error back to it it’s like oh it looks like the regex you’re using doesn’t support that! Let’s try…
