We check criminal records from local and national databases as well as your driving record. Because my industry is working with kids, we're really just checking to make sure you don't have any child abuse or neglect on your record.

Other industries, I'm sure, are looking for different things based on what they're hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don't oversee that area.

KineStop - After Apple announcef Motion Cues, I went looking on Android because I cannot use my devices in a moving vehicle. KineStop is all I found. I went ahead and bought it because it helps (doesn't completely get rid of motion sickness). I would gladly switch to an open source alternative if one were available.

I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn't be bothered to use 7zip.

Take a look at the models that Gadgetbridge supports. Your data stays on your phone. There are no servers to connect to. You should have roughly the same experience on any Android device.

As for tracking sport sessions, look at what each model offers. I use it to sync my PineTime and Mi Smart Band 7.

I really like using the features that Mi Smart Band 7 has to offer AND knowing my data stays on my phone instead of going to servers in China.

Caveat: Recent Amazfit/Mi devices have needed you to set up the device in their proprietary app first to generate a pairing key.

If you're looking at running LineageOS, have you considered just using your banks website? There may be some functionality lost, like push notifications, but you may be able to pivot to email or SMS notifications. Are there app only functions, like mobile deposit? Different banks do things differently.

Vi is standardized in both POSIX and Single Unix Specification.

Give ncdu a look. It is on Linux. It will allow you to see big chunks of data. I'm sure someone has a container version of it, but you can run it straight from the terminal.

A lot of the discussion and notes on development happens on their forums.

I assembled a HeaterMeter for my Kamado style charcoal grill/smoker... It's built on top of OpenWRT.

Waze works well for just driving without destination.

Something worth noting is that F-Droid is both an app to download other apps but they also maintains a repository of apps. You can use alternative store apps (like Droid-ify) with the F-Droid repository OR you could use the F-Droid app with a different repository (like IzzyOnDroid). You can mix and match to meet your needs.

I use the Droid-ify app with the F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, microG, NewPipe, and Collabora repositories.

Once you start down this rabbit hole, give Obtanium a look.
