  I switched to a different launcher a while ago. The one I use is Kvaesitso. It also has a widget integration and relies more on search although I can still pin Apps I want. I believe most alternate Launchers have their own Widget integration in a way so I’d recommend you try that

  I’d argue Fairphones are pretty close although I’d probably go with a custom FOSS rom

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I use a fairphone with /e/OS from Murena. This solves the issue of open source and upgradability/replacability mostly for me. I like the idea of bare linux phones but the hardware and software is just not there yet. I used an iPhone before that and while I miss some aspects of apple hardware I am really happy to be able to just replace parts without this tremendous glue they put in their phone and like 20 different screws and steps to replace one part. Besides some minor inconveniences the switch was definitely the right move!

  I would say that it is also a fault of the device if it encourages this brain-dead overindulgence that is clearly of the interest of many big advertisement companies. You can choose a device and OS tho and install apps that lessen the effect, but an simpler phone might not have all the bells and whistles but can get you quite far without offering such a possibility to lose hours off your brain just turned off.

  Where do I stop with the murder? Whats the criteria to be evil and deserve to die? Who decides what justice is? I agree that its a slippery slope and its why I think self justice like this is more self righteousness than anything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ice cream machine is also broken⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you’d need a majority in democracy to vote in their interests. But they voted for Trump, a man who wants to get rid of the ACA and impose senseless tariffs on all countries while cutting down on regulation that keeps people save and installing his own unhinged lackeys. Harsh rhetoric, but I want to say the American people have voted against their interest, and if political pressure was there change would be possible. I like that this issue is getting attention but I strongly question people calling for more murder and chaos.

  You don’t need to be a good person to have a reason not to be killed.

  Being a human being is already enough in most cases. His death does not change anything

  I am honestly appreciate, that not everyone shares the same bloodlust people on lemmy have

  Wait couldn’t you have filed a lawsuit? I mean yeah, the cops didn’t do their job (I guess they could be sued for that too). But you would need proof in text form so just ask them again in a mail or letter. If they don’t do their job and you have proof then they’re screwed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scalper economy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I get what you mean, but it also provides funding for new housing projects to be built first, and if you weren’t allowed to invent in it it would also not really be possible to rent a house, since that relies on someone paying for the house first.

  I use /e/OS. Its an ungoogled android rom. Anyways, even if you use stock android privacy isn’t black and white. Any bit of privacy you can bear to preserve is a step worth preserving. Theres a difference in google getting some of your data or all of your data. Stock youtube is also too much focused on retention maximation for me. I find some creators interesting but think the addictive nature of youtube is toxic

  I just went to mastadon.social for mastadon and like the biggest national lemmy instance we have, feddit. Although I have to criticize the old instance of feddit shutting down unexpectedly and I had to migrate to a newer one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well THAT fucking sucks! 🤬⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean its pretty obvious you’re a troll… But lets just go ahead and follow your line of argument. How is he cheaping out if he gave the creators he supported way more money through merch than they would have ever received through YT ad revenue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well THAT fucking sucks! 🤬⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like having a google account that has google tracking any video I watch. Also… the recommendations are more addicting and with Tubular (NewPipe fork) and Freetube I just imported my subs and follow them a bit. Never had to deal with the shitty youtube website once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What would be the point in amassing more wealth when its capped? At that wealth no matter what you do, its not gonna get less really if you invested into things. How does that solve any of the problems we have in society?

  Damn, I didn’t expect to get this insightful knowledge about womens takes on DP today!

  He didn’t sind an NDA tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I don’t think valve is as mad as you would think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So what. They already have their article and it will be out anyways within like two years latest probably. The value of talking about deadlock is much higher and valve profits from this advertising as well.
