Of all the open source note apps I tried over a year ago, they didn’t seem that great. I’m also not interested in self hosting.

I like that Keep let’s you quickly create lists, let’s you add images, you can markup images, you can pin notes, search is fast and it all backs up to the cloud seamelessy. And I can result access it on any device.

In general I think there’s a lot to be said for Google services. Drive is great, put anything in there and have it everywhere and easily share.

Photos is indispensable because it’s so tig byhtly integrated with Android: take a photo and instantly it’s backed up to the cloud. No worry about losing my phone because my memories will be in the cloud.

I use Calendar all the time to manage events and reminders and it works perfectly. Also syncs to my calendar on Mint perfectly. It’s fast, easy to use, let’s you get in and out.

Google Messages now uses RCS which is great, is designed very well, and you can also send and receive messages from the web if you want. Plus it integrates nicely with Phone, Meet and Contacts.

It’s really hard to beat. And this is all free, although I pay €20 a year for the larger storage plan.

You can replicate this in Nextcloud but then you need to self host, set up incoming open ports, sorry about being ddoss’d or hacked, have either a large HDD or external HDD which may fail at any time. And it won’t integrate with Android as well.

I get people’s concern with privacy but I don’t think it’s as big a deal as people make out and end up throwing the baby out with the bath water.

That’s a fantasy I’m afraid. Just use Keep.

I’m using Connect, Sync and Infinity. Sync is the most polished but Connect is very close. Connect let’s you post as well as reply whereas Sync and Infinity only let you reply.

Yes but it’s not as bad as you think. Just eat the bottom half.

I’m on dialysis and the Dietician says I can eat it, but just half the bun. If it’s ok for me, it’ll be fine for your if your kidneys are ok.

The coke is the unhealthiest part ironically. The burger is the healthiest part because if you don’t put loads of sauce, it’s pure beef, lettuce and tomato with a roll. All healthy ingredients.

The chips are medium- healthy, the problem being the oil. So only have a few if you can, preferably without salt.

Something like KFC is far worse because the chicken is coated in crumbs and deep fried - LOADS of bad oil.

You won’t be forgiven no matter what. If you carry on sinning, there is no more forgiveness. The only thing you can expect is to be thrown into outer darkness forever where you will be mourning and regretting your decision.

Put it this way: you drove drunk and killed someone. You’ve been given the death penalty by the judge. But a person called Jesus steps in and says “I’ll take his place. Let him go free”.

Would you ever drink drive again after someone died in your place to give you a second chance? Surely not! You would be sober, very grateful and even yet to help other people not make the same mistake.

It’s the same with sin. Jesus paid a HEAVY price to redeem you. Don’t spit in his face by carrying on with the same sins. Instead be grateful and find out how you should live instead.

Read the 10 commandments in Exodus 20. And also read the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) to see how Jesus further explains and practices these.

The goal is to become holy like Jesus

Hope that helps.
