Just curious where you prefer sponsorships to go. I was watching some videos, and I kept seeing creators putting them at the start of the video, which just doesn't work for me unless I trust the creator. But if it's at the end, people could easily click off of the video because they've finished watching it. I was just wondering (if they HAVE to be in the video, because I think plenty of people would prefer they aren't), where do you prefer they go?

Also apologies if you saw the repost.. I was extending the poll time..

Tell me about switching from Google Play Store to F-Droid/Aurora Store because when I open some apps, I get an error saying "make sure you have google play store installed or enabled on your device." Do I have to reinstall all of my apps on F-Droid/Aurora Store?

EDIT: I am VERY new to De-Googling because I only gained interest in it recently. Treat me like I'm stupid please.

Mom and brother want to declaw. I absolutely do not want to. But they are frustrated that the kitten keeps attacking hands/feet. I'm telling them that he is just a kitten and just playing, but they won't listen to me. How can I trim my kitten's claws at home without proper tools? We have a nail trimmer that you'd use on your fingernails. I considered using that, but I don't want to use it without getting confirmation first. The kitten is a month and a few weeks old (1 or 2). Also, any advice to get him to stop attacking people as play would help too. I personally don't mind it, since I don't think it hurts, but my mom is concerned since my sister is 3, and my brother is annoyed that he is always scratching at him.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I can't drive, so I can't take him to a groomer or vet. I wouldn't really have the money for that anyway. Neither does my mom, plus she'd see it as a hassle anyway.

Currently up to 17 days no bites, hopefully this keeps up.

Don't take this as a guide, I'm just sharing my experience so far after moving. It's worked so far, but I would not guarantee that what I'm doing can prevent a reinfestation. This is just what I've done as a tired, low-income person who has lived with these parasites for too long.

What have I done so far after moving to prevent spreading the bugs?

I've minimized my time in the infested rooms and I've also minimized the amount of things I take from the infested rooms. I did NOT take my bed or bedding. Neither did my brother. My mother took hers, but her bed was clean.

On the moving day, I washed ALL of my clothes. I washed the clothes I brought to the house, and then I did NOT even touch my nrw bed until I changed my clothes and threw them into the washer. I've hung all of my clothing and have not allowed them to touch the floor just in case there is something in the floor. I brought Cimexa to preemptively treat the legs of my new bed just in case. I also treated my old bed with Cimexa before moving anything over.

I checked boxes and items I brought over for bugs and eggs. I am an artist, and I saw a bedbug on my canvases, so I sadly made the decision to leave all of my canvases at our old house. I also decided to toss anything that had feces/shedded skins on it, because I didn't want to carry anything that could have possibly had eggs or anything of the like.

I always check my clothing before laying in bed, at least until I am confident we have no bugs. I make sure to wear clean clothing always. Anything I am afraid may be contaminated (and it's always out of paranoia, I haven't found anything) I will wash it and change my clothes. I also wear shorts around the house without socks so if anything is possibly in the house and it climbs onto me, I will either feel it on my legs or see it before laying down.
