Thanks for the reccomendation, I’ll take a look :)

Yeah its the customization features. A couple replies down I listed some of the features I use that I haven’t seen in other launchers. I’ll check out total launcher and see if it could work for me

Largely stuff like widget and home screen padding, ability to place widgets on top of one another, set a custom widget for the search bar in the dock and place widgets in the dock

Some parts look kinda jank cause I haven’t really worked on it since I replaced my phone so I never finished adjusting stuff to the different size screen, but this is my home screen right now. I just use a lot of features to make my jank ass setup work, so its hard to switch. Custom fonts would be so nice if I ever did make the leap though

You might wanna add a description of what the community is for/about :)

Sadly my custom home screen depends on features I haven’t found in any other launcher, so right now I just have internet disabled for it with trackercontrol :/

Definitely second switching to heliboard- open board is abandoned unless it got picked up by someone, heliboard is a fork thats actively maintained and has made a bunch of improvements

Its a strict upgrade, I think you’ll be happy with it :)

If you dont have a gallery app I really like both aves libre and lavender photos. Lavender is newer but the Dev has been super nice every time I’ve made a bug report or something. Aves is super feature complete and works really well. Both have a great user interface and user experience

There are people missing from my community. Folks I love are afraid theyre unsafe. But being an asshole about it on the internet from far away seems more fun to you I guess.

You seem like a piece of shit, and you’re transparently arguing in bad faith if you’re gonna ignore 50% of what I said just to mock me for suggestions that people get involved in their community

I hope you’re able to figure out how to grow as a person, take care.

Duckduckgo having crap results doesnt really change my point that I included several options compatible with America being a “stay strapped or get clapped place”, or substantiate the point that my only suggestion was a soup kitchen (which to be clear, is absolutely valuable praxis that improves our abilities to work together on bigger issues). I dont think it even really matters if its a huge important organization, I just want people to have options put in front of them so people start to consider what they can be doing, and theres all kinds of things people can do to contribute. And if you feel thats important, Ice watch orgs (siembra where I live, who’s also a workers rights org) are pretty big, the stop detention centers NC signal is pretty big, and thats just the scale of what’s local to me. The stop cop city project in atlanta has been pretty massive, but I’m not sure how things are doing after their more recent legal troubles, I’m not in Atlanta.

My frustration with them comes from the fact that they were ignorant about what I said and still responded with some bullshit in various places in this thread. There are people in my community whos families dont know where they ended up. People I love are afraid for their saftey.

And its the 2nd result on both google and brave search, kagi put it like 7th or eighth. Duckduckgo and the bing results it pulls from are just frequently not great. Google pulled it up even when signed out or in cromite so its not just search personalization

No one can fight fascism when theyre worried about their immediate tangible needs. No one can fight much of anything when theyre worried about their immediate needs.

Its really hard to organize with people if you dont have ways of being connected to them. Its hard to have the needed trust. Its hard to network and know the right folks to have a connection the the right person when you need them. All sorts of community service help attend to these functional needs.

If you can’t see value in feeding folks in your community I’m glad you’re not part of mine, you sound like a POS.

My brother in Christ look up the aforementioned SRA. You look like an idiot.

Not even gonna engage with the argument that feeding folks in your community isnt valuable resistance. Thats dumb as fuck.

The SRA I mentioned is the socialist rifle association. I also mentioned ice watch, and stop cop city and stop detention center projects. The point was to suggest a number of things that would include some ways to get involved for a wide variety of people, people gotta start somwhere and folks have different risk tolerances

Kindly, did you think at all before you typed that? Kinda disappointed that 5 people chose to upvote that, what are you talking about?

My guy, people have been out in the streets ripping people out of the hands of ice

I get its fun to be cynical in the current moment but americans have absolutely been doing shit. I know, because there are folks in my community organizing, and they’re doing so in the image of other community organizing efforts across the country

If you’re reading this go find a way to get involved IRL. Meet your neighbors. Join food not bombs or a soup kitchen. Get involved in ice watch. Find your local DSA or PSL chapter and see if they’re people there and projects that you feel like you can build with. See if you have a local SRA chapter. See if your area has any tool libraries or community gardens you can participate in. Lots of states have a stop cop city, or stop detention centers project, go see if your area has one you can get involved with. People only do shit if people like YOU decide its worth doing

Especially because they were blocked from collecting any evidence, not even allowed to access the crime scene if I remember right

Not like meta has a long history of ignoring obvious, enormous problems theyre causing that experts keep pleading with them to take seriously. Like in Myanmar. Where it has killed an enormous number of people and the death toll keeps rising.

I’m sure they’ll do something this time

Thats a super helpful suggestion, thank you!

I really like notallyx from fdroid cause it supports indentable checklists which I use constantly :)

Its a tad jank and unstable at times though

Hey, thanks for helping support spaces on the threadiverse ☺️

Good luck with the backlog and I hope you have a lovely day!

Yep, which is why I acknowledge that thats not my ingroup and while I think we should be considerate of potential issues with ai as a accessibility solution, its important to listen to people who actually depend on things like alt text. I’ve heard from people who are frustrated that ai gets treated as a standin for other humans caring about accessibility and find it unable to fill their needs, and I’m sure there are also people who find it really helpful. I couldn’t claim to know what perspective is more common among folks with visual disabilities 🤷🏻‍♂️

But I do think its worth considering and not just saying “ai solves this problem, let’s just give visually impaired people ai descriptions” without trying to discuss what that means for people and listen to folks on whether thats what’s needed or wanted

While I understand the potential value of that, it is worth also acknowledging that ai will never understand the human, social, contextual meaning of things its providing alt text for, and theres a fair argument to be made that folks with disabilities deserve those things

Id welcome perspectives from folks with relevant disabilities who use or depend on alt text :)

Today I learned what a suicide lane is, what a wild idea. Turn lanes like that I’m familiar with but I’ve never heard of it being a passing lane

I feel very mixed on whether this is entirely a good thing. While those US allied regimes suck, I worry about what’s happening to the people there.

Hopefully if they collapse, the structure that comes next is meaningfully better…
