Would anyone know how to install Android apps in a way that they can't detect that it's an ungoogled smartphone?
Specifically, I am using LineageOS with microg, and installing apps from AuroraStore. It works in most of the cases, but some particular apps complain about a lack of security features and refuse to run.

Wondering if the blisters I got this weekend are because I am not used to handling my own weapons (usually I use the club's weapons, which are very smooth and polished) or because the seminar was particularly intense.

Il est enfin arrivé à sa destinataire, je peux donc vous montrer le projet mystérieux sur lequel j'ai travaillé il y a deux semaines : un sac pour ranger des outils de jardinage (et protéger un enfant en bas âge de ceux-ci). Cousu à la machine avec une doublure qui est une sorte de toile cirée en nylon, bien résistante pour éviter que les outils ne la transpercent.
J'ai imaginé le patron sur mesure pour les outils que j'ai offerts, et c'était mon projet de couture le plus complexe jusqu'à présent, mais j'en suis vraiment très fier et j'ai beaucoup appris pendant ce projet. Notamment : comment faire une doublure de sac, et comment poser une boucle de passepoil (le fil rouge qu'on voit sur la photo de l'extrémité).
Ça m'a pris l'équivalent de deux journées de travail reparties sur deux semaines, en comptant la réalisation du prototype. Ça m'a tellement plu que je suis en train de me mettre à me fabriquer des vêtements :)

So, where should I start. If you have the chance to follow a class with Stephanie Yap, either at her dojo in Florida or at a seminar, *go*.
She is really one of a kind. Her energy is truly communicative and it's difficult to finish a session without having given your everything. She is also taking a great care to help everyone: it was the first time the main instructor of a seminar is giving me any advice during the seminar, let alone giving me the amount of advice that she gave me: multiple times at every session. It's really unique in my experience, and I am very grateful to her for this personalised advice that she is offering to everyone, from the very beginners to the shihan.
(I should also mention that she came with a teaching assistant who was also going around and giving helpful and personalised advice)It's a real joy so see her lead, it really looks like she is having fun and loving every moment.
Energetic, enthusiastic, and a great teacher too: I like the way her lessons are structured, from an easy start building up to complex and original stuff that makes even the shihan think hard about.So, a big thank you to her and to the organizers of the seminar for a weekend that I am not ready to forget!
We will soon post pictures of this seminar on my dojo's pixelfed account :)
In the meantime, thank you for reading!

We went for the party dinner to a restaurant in the city center, I ended up sitting right in front of Stephanie which was unexpected! She showed us some of her paintings during dinner: she is commissioned to paint murals in various places, which are quite impressive in scale.
I left around 22 with a small group, relatively early but I knew I needed sleep to handle Sunday morning. The rooms are nice and rather comfortable, although some of us told me they had forgotten how to sleep in a single bed 😂 The first session was at 10 this morning, which fortunately allowed for a good night sleep- probably my best night in months.
We started this morning with the bokken (wooden sword): the weapon we hadn't used yesterday. First some suburi (training cuts) at a fast pace, then pair work on the first and second awase (synchronisation exercises).
We then worked on two exercises that are very close to bare hands techniques: shiho nage and kote gaeshi. The footwork is the same and the handwork similar (the difference being that we are handling the sword and not touching each other, and cutting/slashing instead of throwing).
We finished with something more free-form: attacking each other alternatively while moving around and trying to maintain the distance and not leave any opening, or exploiting openings given by the partner when they attack.My training partner and I completely exhausted each other during this first hour and a half, it was a great session. After a break we put the weapons down to finish with bare hands practice. After the usual tainohenko, we did a kind of kaiten nage (but not really? probably just a kokyu ho) on katate dori, and udekime nage on kosa dori. Then, again some free-form exercises (Stephanie was probably aware of everyone's state): parrying two consecutive tsuki (chest punch) with a final face atemi, parrying random and quick attacks everywhere, and finally one of Stephanie's signature fun activities: everyone walks around and at the signal attacks the closest person who has to do the first technique that comes to mind.
We took a final picture, thanked her for the great seminar and everyone went their way home. I had to leave quickly and am realising now that I forgot to say goodbye to many people... We will likely all see each other soon anyway, for the next seminar.
I again have to go now but will post a last post with my overall impression, later today

Ooof that was a day. I just set the fifth alarm clock of the day, to wake up before we go to the party.
Okay so this morning, we started as usual with tainohenko, kihon and kinonagare: basic exercices to learn to move under constraint and sync with the partner. Then katate dori kokyu ho, kihon and kinonagare again. Again, she spend a lot of time helping everyone on these fundamental exercices.
Then, we started kata dori shomen uchi (uke grabs the shoulder and also gives a shomen). First [I don't remember], then shiho nage ura on the same attack, then maybe something else which I already can't remember anymore [I'm dead] and I think we finished with a fun projection whose name I don't know, still on the same attack.
After the first session we made a 15-minute break and moved on to shomen uchi irimi nage, insisting on several aspects of the form: putting uke off balance, not giving them a curved arm to not expose ourselves to a counter technique pulling on the arm. Then another irimi nage with an intermediate step where you pass behind and pull on the collar. We also saw two alternative exits from an irimi nage where uke does something unexpected, like turn around (then transform the irimi into sankyo), or wraps their arms around your waist (then wrap your arms around their neck and throw both of you on the floor: very impressive to see but difficult to reproduce!).We had lunch in the military canteen, I got my room key and went for a quick nap.
Back at 14:30 on the tatami, we did both afternoon sessions on kata 13. First alone, then by pairs, then trios (two attackers), then groups of five (four attackers at the four cardinal points).
It's time for the party!

Got the train (and the industrial croissant). Now for a 45-minute ride. The site is a military sports complex that we are renting for the weekend. Most of us packed for one night on site, because tonight's party wouldn't allow us to take the last train back to Paris.

Woke up at 6am to take the 7:12am train to Fontainebleau. Even my bakery is closed, even though a croissant would be clearly helping (almost forgot my obi this morning). It's okay, I'll buy an industrial one at the station.

She gave us a taste this evening of what to expect for the weekend (the public seminar starts tomorrow morning but she was doing a special session for the inviting dojo tonight), and I am delighted: she is exactly as people have been describing her: technical, energetic and generous. She spent a lot of time going around and giving advice to every group, especially the beginners: it's relatively rare in high-level seminars such as this one!
We saw two counter-techniques of kata dori nikkyo ura: one where you go down under nikkyo and push or hook the partner's knee to make them fall, and one that I really liked, where you step out and down to grab the partner's sleeve and transform into irimi nage. Super interesting!
Looking very much forward to the seminar!
