Android phone full backup

I'm in a similar situation. I did inidvidual backups for each app that offers such a feature and copied them into a hard drive with all the photos and other files that I need. It's arduous the first time but it becomes easier the next time you do a full backup. I have an organized folder which contains subfolders for each app and for photos, downloads, etc. All backup files are exported into their respective folder. It takes me all in all up to 15 minutes.

What helped you stick with an instrument as a kid?

I will speak from my own personal experience. I was given piano lessons as a child and was forced to play classical music, which I didn't enjoy much. Practice turned into a chore, I eventually neglected it altogether and lost all passion for playing the piano. It took me until the very last year of high school to rediscover my passion for the piano, thanks to a music project I had to do as an assignment. It then dawned upon me that I can play whatever I want as long as I enjoyed it, which I still do to this day. I even compose my own pieces now.

For how long has your child been learning the instrument? Struggling is a natural part of learning, especially at a beginner stage, and it teaches you great qualities such as commitment and discipline. However, it should never feel like a chore, but rather a challenge.

The existence of lemmy.world which you're part of, proves that lemmy tolerates right-wing instances if you ask me.

Make use of the decentralized nature of lemmy, the devs won't knock at your door for creating or posting on right-wing instances.

Even if he didn't predict it, from the getgo Israel had been a settler colonialist project that's similar to the one that he was born in and which led to the oppressive predicament of African Americans. To not recognize this fact shows hypocrisy.
