   On my older #Android devices, disabling Google Play Services was impossible. Or maybe I just remember it wrong. On the new phone, I was able to disable it. Of course, now any time something Google wrote launches, it notifies me that $APP_OR_SERVICE_NAME cannot function unless Google Play Services is enabled.
   
   Funny that. Everything works fine. (And I'm accumulating a list of things that are not allowed to notify me.)

   Last year, when I was working in Sacramento, one of the businesses down the street had a landscaping crew that came a couple of mornings per week. They started before 05:00, and were still going when I left for work about 90 minutes later.
   
   Mowers, trimmers, leaf blowers. They were pretty noisy.

      3--One of the things that is worst about Facebook and Twitter is that their algorithms decide what you see, not just your contacts / subscriptions list. Accepting a contact request or following someone is your affirmative choice to have that person's content in your feed, but they actively interfere with that.

    Toe report: the big toe and its neighbor are no longer sore. The small toe and its neighbor are still partially numb.
    
    After whacking my foot pretty hard in #PR, it took about a year for foot and toes to return to normal, so I just need to be more careful about where I step.

    I got lots of birthday notices in my inbox from JD. I consider it an example of "All information that you collect, you will eventually store. All information that you store will eventually be misused." Why? At the time I and most of my contacts joined, #Diaspora was _the privacy-centric network_. Birthdays were not going to be used to trigger alerts and e-mails to tell everyone about them. But here we are.
