Slowly changing phone from Google apps to other - preferably open source.
Now have installed Dekusms (Found it on f-droid).
I don't use it that much but since the gouvernement sends me their verification codes by SMS I noticed it stil was from Google... 😶🌫️
Takes time, sometimes I just don't understand what they are saying so I quit - and forget to continue.... - but slow progress still is progress. 🙃
Any recommendations of other (on fdroid available) apps to replace the Google apps and avoid playstore are very welcome!
Creative minds, may I pick your brains please?
I need some ideas ☺️
We have 3 of these (nesting) side tables. We want to get rid of the leather, but we have no idea what to do with the center to not have it 'just brown'.
No leather. No tiles. No artistic painting because I can't do that. 🤭
(They will be sanded down completely and then painted with a mate transparent brown protection, like the pinewood sample in first photo
And yes, I am aware the burned part won't be sanded away. I still liked them too much to not accept them and keep them in the family.)
Freek You can look for a sheet adhesive with a nice patern?

This is what i did with a bench.

Adhesive will come loose due to the heath, unfortunately. But thanks for the suggestion!
I love what you did! Maybe I just should have a go, if it's awefull I can always sand it off again...

Quitamos el cuero de la mesa más pequeña y raspamos cuidadosamente la madera.
Resulta que toda la superficie está hecha de una sola pieza de madera preciosa. Por ahora, pensamos teñirla de marrón. Un tono claro en el centro y el resto más oscuro.
A continuación. ☺️ 
Porque deseo que los músicos reciban una remuneración justa.. Y porque quiero escuchar "mi" música cuando quiera, donde quiera que esté, sin anuncios y sin internet, desde el dispositivo que mejor me convenga en ese momento.

Catha MrCantankerous but that's only available via Google play store. I am getting rid of everything from Google. 😉
MrCantankerousIf you're on Android, Google steps in and blocks apps installed via 3rd party sites, whether Play Protect is enabled or not. I hate Google, it has systematically blocked many of my favourite apps, it overrode my Google settings and randomly decided to auto update everything on my data connection, which in turn left many of my apps no longer functioning (which is why my default is to not auto update)
Catha MrCantankerous I have an android phone which has it's own OS. Now most of my Google and playstore apps are replaced by free apps. It's with trial and error - i am "a little" picky - but so far it works. 🙃

Can you turn the setting "change system settings' rom Google to not permitted? That's the first thing I always turned off. ☺️
