TIL git worktrees are a thing.

Whenever you're tempted to clone the same repository multiple times to work on different branches simultaneously, use a worktree instead.

This is a 10 year old git feature that I wish I'd known about 10 years ago.

Thanks @webology for the tip.

Anyway. I know plenty of people have said this before but "disabled" is is the minority you can be forced to join with no consent or advance notice. You can see those tiny fonts fine, you've got two working hands and fine motor control, you can hear, you can walk an unassisted city block pain free on two working feet? Sure you can. Today. For now. Maybe tomorrow, too!

Been horrifying teammates by referring to undocumented information that's held only in people's heads as "locked in meat storage".

Please use this with your teams/projects and report back on how they like it?

Check out this talk that @mauve did earlier about Agregore's #LocalFirst #AI setup.

EDIT: I have more advice than I know what to do with thank you so much, I'll hopefully be able to convince her to let me back up and wipe the phone. If she doesn't consent to that, I also have some good direction on detecting anything malicious. Thank you again <3

ORIGINAL POST: Can anyone point me toward some resources on detecting and removing stalkerware on Android?

A friend of a friend has just gotten out of an abusive relationship and I've been asked the look over their phone and computer for any stalkerware the ex might have planted. I'm fairly confident in my abilities on a PC, but not an android phone.
